Pacquiao vs Bradley Camps Heat Up

May 20, 2012

Words clashed as team Pacquiao and Bradley exchanged obnoxious remarks as predictions and judgments cross both camps.

Even before the match, the fire threatens to heat up as boxing analysts and aficionados speculate on where the Pacquiao vs. Bradley bout is heading.

Hall of Famer Freddie Roach dismissed Bradley’s insinuations. Quoting Mayweather’s statement over Cotto, he believes that Bradley is not a real threat to Manny Pacquiao.

“I think that Manny will beat Tim Bradley pretty easily,” expressed Roach in RingTV. He also impressed that Bradley is “no better than Ricky Hatton”.

“I’m really not worried. It doesn’t matter what Bradley does. Whether he’s coming forward or moving backward, he can’t beat Manny Pacquiao,” stated Roach.

Trainer Roach’s comments further revved up the flames in Bradley’s camp. Bradley flashed when told about Roach’s unlikely comparison of him to Ricky Hatton.

“You guys are retarded if you think I fight like Ricky Hatton,” he told Boxing Scene.

He also commented on team Pacquiao’s “useless” sparring partners.

“They bring in this Russian guy (Ruslan Provodnikoy) who comes forward and is a banger, and I’m like ‘wow, these guys really don’t know what I can do’. It’s funny, they think I’m just this face-first brawler and I’m like ‘you guys are going to be in for a rude awakening.”

Whatever both camps say, the real score lies waiting in their June 9 fight at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas Nevada.

On the other hand, former and current world boxing champions also remarked on who’s on the edge and who’s likely to lose.

“Tim Bradley will be a tough fight for Pacquiao,” Juan Marquez, Pacquiao’s most controversial contender commented in Boxing Scene. “It is a tough fight for Pacquiao, because Bradley is quick; he is intelligent,” he added.

Does he expect Bradley to win?

“Manny is the better fighter. Bradley is very physical, but Manny will win,” he said in Boxing Scene.

Along with Marquez, Ricky Hatton and Shane Mosley (former world title holders defeated by Pacquiao) expressed their opinions in favor of Pacquiao.

Khan vs Peterson 2: (The Rematch) Another Fight of the Year Candidate

February 11, 2012


Khan vs Peterson 2 has just been announced. Boxing enthusiasts all over the world can’t help but squeal in delight to see the rematch that almost didn’t happen due in part to a lot of controversy surrounding their first bout. On Saturday, May 19, 2012, the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada will play host to this highly anticipated Unified Super Lightweight World Title rematch.  In Amir Khan vs Lamont Peterson 2 the WBA World Super Championship and IBF World Championship titles in the said weight class (140 lbs) is up for grabs.

In their first fight, Lamont “Havoc” Peterson was very aggressive early on, taking Khan out of his comfort zone.  He is a very slick boxer who has a lot of power and it is very likely that he will using the exact same formula to win once again.  Amir “King” Khan’s quickly executed offense might cause him a problem or two, however.   He went after Peterson with a flurry of punches the last time around – which proved to be his undoing as it drained his stamina and forced him to  resort to back-pedalling towards the latter part of the fight.  For Peterson vs Khan 2, he can’t afford to commit the same mistakes lest he wants the same results.  He must stand his ground and charge forward – meeting Peterson’s aggressiveness head-on.

I’m delighted that I have finally been given the chance to avenge the result of my last fight, said Khan (26-2, 18 KO’s). It’s clear I wasn’t happy with what went on in the previous fight, but that takes nothing away from how Lamont Peterson fought. He showed tremendous heart that night, but now I have the chance to prove once and for all that I’m the very best in the division.” So for Khan vs Peterson 2, Amir Khan continues: “I’m going to take care of business inside the ring and this fight is going to be just as exciting as the last one. The only difference is going to be in the outcome.
