Bradley bout my last: Pacquiao

Before Wednesday’s press conference for the third installment of their rivalry, Pacquiao spoke about Bradley and said, according to the Daily Mail, “I’m looking forward for more action”.

“I’m so thankful for this great opportunity before I’m going to retire”.

In fact, the seven-time trainer of the year considers their upcoming fight as simply a test for them to know if the Filipino boxing sensation has recovered from his recent shoulder injury.

“We’re both in the same business”. They [Mayweather] don’t want to accept that they lost that last fight.

I think it’s going to be hard for Pacquiao to get the decision in this fight.

April’s bout is an interesting matchup since Pacquiao seems to be losing his killer instincts in his past few fights, but would want to go out of the sport with a bang, while Bradley is likely in his prime and is peaking at the right time.

Pacquiao then won their 2014 rematch in Las Vegas with a comfortable unanimous decision to end Bradley’s undefeated record. How can Atlas be credited for having changed Bradley’s fighting style in a matter of three months?

Bradley almost lost that fight near the end of the 12th round after being caught by a right hand.

Now that Paquiao has completely healed, ringsiders expect him to be at his finest when he returns to the ring nearly a year after the Mayweather fight.

Manny Pacquiao has promised to put on a show when he brings the curtain down on his illustrious career against Timothy Bradley on April 9. “He fought [Brandon] Rios and he knocked him out with a body punch”.

“We’ll be ready, and I’ll see every single thing that Manny Pacquiao does”, Bradley said in a report by Lance Pugmire of The Los Angeles Times.

“I will not promote it as Manny’s last fight”, Arum said.

Although Bradley prevailed in the judges’ scorecards during their first encounter in 2012, boxing fans have considered Pacquiao as the real victor based on what they saw during the first fight as well as the verdict of five seasoned boxing judges who ruled in favor of Pacquiao after they were asked by the sanctioning body to review the video of the fight. Full Pacquiao vs. Bradley ticket information has also been released, with tickets being made available to the public starting this Friday. He appeared to be sharper, stronger and have better timing in the second bout until he got injured.

“That fight will never happen”.
