WBO junior welterweight champion Timothy Bradley will be watching tonight's fight between Erik Morales and Pablo Cesar Cano with great interest. The WBC took away Bradley's WBC title and sanctioned the Morales-Cano bout for the vacant belt. The WBC claimed their decision was based on Bradley's inactivity. The boxer is involved in a lawsuit with his former promoters. Bradley gets first crack at the Morales-Cano winner, and Morales is the overwhelming favorite to win. Morales-Cano takes place on the Floyd Mayweather-Victor Ortiz undercard at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
"Erik Morales can be handed the title, but that's a paper champion if you don't fight the man,” said Bradley to his hometown paper, The Desert Sun. “I fight real opponents and they're fighting hand-picked fighters. When I come back, Morales better be ready."
