Timothy Bradley training like an ‘animal’ for Pacquiao fight – Boxing News
On one side, Manny Pacquiao is training in the high altitudes of Baguio City and on the other side Timothy Bradley is training in the desert city of Indio in California. Both fighters are set to clash on June 9 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Bob Arum, promoter
for Bradley and Pacquiao, revealed in his recent media interaction that Timothy Bradley is training hard to face the Filipino rage machine.
When asked about Bradley’s progress, Arum said, “Bradley is training like an animal.”
Arum, who is a Hall of Fame promoter, informed that Bradley is working to his limits to make sure he leaves no stone unturned since this would be his life’s first ever mega-bout.
Pacquiao and his trainer Freddie Roach have been keeping fans informed about their training’s progress but there has not been a word from Bradley’s side. Probably, this was the reason why Bob Arum felt it was necessary to reveal a bit about Bradley to make
things spicier.
As of now, Pacquiao is training with Bradley’s clone, a Russian fighter Ruslan Provodnikov chosen by Roach. According to Roach, it is important for Manny Pacquiao to spar against someone who is more or like the same as Timothy Bradley when it comes to fighting
skills. It should be noted here that Timothy Bradley is known as a fighter with a very unique fighting style. Some promoters and analysts even think that Bradley’s style is ‘questionable’. His way of using his elbows and head at times makes it difficult for
the opponent to see him, which to some is an objectionable style.
In his previous interview, when the WBO welterweight champion was asked about his plans against Bradley’s vicious fighting style, he said that if Bradley tries such techniques on him, he would retaliate with his ferocious punches right in his head. Considering
Pacquiao’s punching power, no one can deny the fact that his punches are enough to make Bradley sleep. If Bradley uses his head too much, he will give Pacquiao the opportunity to win easily. One punch to Bradley’s head and he is knocked out!
