Moments after the official verdict of the Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley fight was announced, members of the media and various boxing insiders began pouring into the MGM Grand’s media center in anticipation towards the evening’s post-fight press conference. Bradley would score a shocking upset, coming away with a split-decision verdict over Pacquiao after two 115-113 scorecards were read in his favor while the third 115-113 tally was for the sport’s only eight-division champion.

Entering the MGM Grand’s media center in Las Vegas on Saturday night, trainer Freddie Roach seemed to be a little out of sorts. Moments earlier, Roach’s start fighter, Manny Pacquiao, had gone twelve hard rounds with Palm Springs, California’s Timothy Bradley. The fight was an interesting one to study and while Bradley’s grit and fortitude were on display, it was the skills of Pacquiao that appeared to carry the day.

We are hours away from boxing’s next huge event, tonight’s Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley showdown in Las Vegas, Nevada.

During his prizefighting days, living legend and former four-division champion Roy Jones Jr. fought in the city of Las Vegas several times, as he is obviously no stranger to the brightest spotlights that boxing has to offer. This weekend, from the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Jones will be sitting ringside as he takes in the sport’s next big event, the Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley pay-per-view showdown. An extremely astute color commentator for HBO over the years, Jones loves to break down a good matchup and seems intrigued by Saturday night’s main event.

It was at the Manny Pacquiao-Juan Manuel Marquez III post-fight press conference at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas last November that I first spoke with trainer Joel Diaz. Having led undefeated junior welterweight champion Timothy Bradley to a successful victory over faded former champ Joel Casamayor on the undercard, Diaz was a bit of an unknown commodity to the general boxing public at the time but it was easy to spot just how much knowledge and pedigree he possessed.

•Jun 4, 2012

Renowned trainer Freddie Roach has delivered some memorable sound bites during the last two installments of HBO’s 24/7 Pacquiao-Bradley series, taking direct aim at strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza. Ariza was brought into Manny Pacquiao’s camp on a hands-on basis following his March 2008 split-decision victory over Juan Manuel Marquez and while his methods have seemed to work wonders, so too have his antics apparently worn thin on Roach. During last Saturday’s 24/7, Roach insisted that he won’t be including Ariza as part of Pacquiao’s corner when he sets foot inside of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas to defend his belt against Timothy Bradley in another high-profile affair.

On last weekend’s 24/7 Pacquiao-Bradley episode, Manny Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach caused quite a stir when he took some shots at strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza and suggested that their team may be better off without the Columbian-born coach on board.
