“There will definitely be a lot of animosity in the air that night (at the fight),” Tim Bradley said. “This fight is more personal for me than people realize.”
Bradley told FightSaga Freddie Roach doesn’t like him and that most of the friction between them stems from tensions that arose not between Bradley and Manny Pacquiao, but between Bradley and Amir Khan, Pacquiao’s stable-mate.
“He doesn’t like all the things I’ve said about Amir Khan. I’ve kind of exposed Khan, asserted the WBO Jr Welterweight Champion. “All these people were saying how great Khan was but, as far as I was concerned, he was nothing but a fraud.”
“Personally, I don’t think his (Amir Khan) name should even be mentioned in the same breath as mine.”
Timothy Bradley believes the facts are on his side and that those same facts tell the entire story. In addition, he is quick to remind fans he’s already decisively beaten Lamont Peterson – the fighter who upset Khan in December, lifting his belts from the charismatic Brit . For Bradley, Peterson’s win over Khan represents an undeniable truth that Khan isn’t on Bradley’s level.

Don’t be too confident, Bradley. This maybe your first loss in the ring. We will pray for Manny’s win………..

Sorry to say. I got Bradley winning this fight. Manny’s not a creative fighter. He’s good but he’s not creative. He always goes to that long 1,2 or 1,1 and 2 even if he has to chase someone with it. And to make it worse, he bobs like a clock and shoots the punches from exactly the same position all the time making him very predictable. Although he has set-ups for the uppercut and body shots, he doesn’t score with them too much. For example, he’ll throw the set-up and stare after he throws the uppercut. While someone who actually believes in the punch doesn’t do that. He still primarily throws the 1 and 2 most of the fight. Even what should be strong hooks end up becoming 1,2 punches. He gives too much of the game plan away when he throws on the heavy bag. Prepare for the 1,2. Let Manny follow you. Turn him whenever you want. Get your angles. Throw your punches. That’s how Marquez beat Pacquiao. And Manny let him do it the entire fight.

everything is diffrent in the ring alby… when you watch as a spectator, everything is 100% diffrent then what is actually happening. Mayweather and all other boxers like myself will be the first to tell you this.

Hey, Alby! FYI, Marquez has not beaten Pacquiao. Where were you? Your analysis was too long but it’s an analysis of someone who hasn’t seen Manny in practice session. A lot of people have said the same thing like you said against Manny before he fought Diaz, ODLH, Hatton, Cotto, Clotty, Margarito and Mosley.Bradley will be next.
