Can Bradley dethrone Pac-Man?

They are two fighters sharing the same ring but fighting remarkably different battles.

For Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 KO), his fight against Timothy Bradley (28-0, KO 12) is an opportunity to show fans that he is the same fighter who destroyed Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto and Antonio Magarito. Pacquiao’s controversial victory over Juan Manual Marquez left a bitter test in boxing fans' mouths. A dominant performance over Bradley will sweeten a potential fight with Floyd Mayweather (43-0, 26 KO.)







Timothy Bradley is fighting for recognition. He has been a world champion since 2008, but outside of the hardcore boxing fanbase, he is largely unknown. This is his opportunity to become a household name.

Can Bradley dethrone Pac-Man? Will boxing fans ever see the old Pacquiao again? Bleacher Report breaks down the fight.

Pacquiao's Full Focus on Training Despite Distractions

It’s been a bumpy week for Manny Pacquiao with all the anti-gay sentiments having aired in the past few days. With the upcoming Bradley vs. Pacquiao fight looming over the corner, both Pacquiao and Bradley doesn’t want to get involve in another distraction or two.

While Pacquiao is busy with some distractions happening in his camp this week, Timothy Bradley on the other hand is as focus as an eagle for his upcoming fight with Pacquiao next month.







“Everything is going good, man,” Bradley said during an interview with Chris Robinson.

Bradley has already talked with Joel Diaz, and according to the trainer, Bradley did over 115 rounds of sparring. The numbers are high enough for a fighter training that hard as Pacquiao is worth the preparation when it comes to the sport of boxing.

Beside from Pacquiao putting an unimpressive performance with Manuel Marquez last November. Pacquiao’s training camp has been smooth all the way even after his remarks on gay marriage put a lot of distraction on his toes.

Even Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum, expressed his thoughts with HBO’s Jim Lampley.

“My problem is what Pacquiao are we going to see?” Arum said. “You have to understand, since the last fight last November, he has become a totally different person.” Arum added.

As of now Manny has already begun changing the way of the past. Many have doubted that Pacquiao had already lose that magical touch in boxing while others are as hopeful he could score a nice big convincing TKO for Bradley on June 9th.  Bradley isn’t going to give the fight that easily as this could be his chance on convincing the world that he is the one who defeated Pacquaio in the Pacquiao vs. Bradley fight.
