Tracking the hottest news in the Philippines
The dream fight of Mayweather Jr and Pacquiao is not possible anymore for this year or its not possible at all since Mayweather Jr will be serving sentence in Jail. The latest development is that Timothy Bradley will be the next opponent of Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao.
Who is Timothy Bradley ? Bradley is 28-year-old Californian who got a nice record of (28-0, 12 KO) while Pacquiao got Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 KO). It is said that Pacquiao has apparently agreed to defend his welterweight title on this fight in Las Vegas on June 9th at the MGM Grand Arena.
Meanwhile the coach of Manny Pacquiao mentioned in an interview and we quote from Philippine Daily Inquirer
He’s a dirty fighter, well, he’s a physical fighter. He uses his head, elbows, so forth. Manny does have some trouble with that because Manny can’t retaliate. I tell Manny that if a guy hits you low, hit him back low, but he won’t do that. It could pose a bit of a problem. Manny is excited. Until we name an opponent, boxing is out of Manny’s mind. He’s busy working in (the Philippine) congress. But he gets interested in boxing again when he has an opponent and a fight.
With such comment from a veteran coach and trainer , let’s just hope every round will be as clean and exciting as possible. SO, boxing fans mark your calendar and free from any engagement. June 9, 2012 at the MGM Grand Arena Manny Pacquiao Vs Timothy Bradley.
