TIMOTHY BRADLEY
An intense Timothy Bradley gave the following quotes at his media workout, which took place today, at the Boys and Girls Club of America, Indio, Calif.
“I’ve been very hard at work the last couple of months. I’ve had strenous workouts.
“I’ve added strength training to pick up my extra weight. I am ready for this fight with Abregu.
“I am focused on my game plan, I appreciate the media attention that I have received. It hasn’t distracted or bothered me.
“I am ready both physically and mentally. I feel stronger and faster than I ever have. I feel alive.
“This weight feels more natural. I can eat two portions of pasta instead of one.
“Life is about taking risks. You have to take risks to become the best.
“Abregu says that he’s going to knock me out, I’d like to see him try.
“I’m looking forward to a great battle on Saturday
“Fighting in my hometown is an advantage because the crowd is going to cheer for me. Abregu is going to hear Bradley chanted all night long and in his sleep afterward.
“My body is physically prepared and mentally, I’m set. When the bell rings I’m going to go for it.
“When the first bell rings you lose your nervousness. It leaves your body because you’re ready to go. You want to get a feel for your opponent.
“I’m expecting his right upper cut to be heavy handed. He’s tall and lanky so he’ll be trying to get me from the outside.”
“You have to do all the hard work throughout training and come fight night you perform.
“My delayed fights (Khan and Maidana) have given me incentive. I’ve been out of the ring too long.”
“I’m weighing 149 right now so I am in good shape. I’ve been eating more than usual… The extra seven pounds allows me to eat a little more at my leisure.”
“My energy level is incredibly high. I spar more than my opponents.”
On why he didn’t fight at a catch-weight:
“I don’t believe in a catch-weight if you’re going to go to the next weight class. Fight the best in that weight class. Catch-weight is pathetic. Go the extra mile, gain the extra pounds… Roy Jones, Jr., James Toney, Sugar Ray Robinson and Sugar Ray Leonard have done it.”
On Carlos Abregu:
“Abregu’s at the top of the list. He’s undefeated. I have to teach him how to lose. When they lose, they realize “It’s getting tough in here”. I have to break this guy down, make him pay for his mistakes.
“I am fighting for my fans. I have a motto, I can’t lose at home and if I do, I’m not afraid to lose. If I lose, I come back stronger. I would embrace a loss and learn from it.
“The key is going to be not standing in front of him and use a great jab.”
Final thought:
“Be afraid… The Desert Storm’s coming at you!”

Exactly. He steps up every time he has to and wins.
most of the hate is because he don't want to rush and fight Devon Alexander for a smaller amount of Money, it is ok for other fighters to take fights that makes the most money but I guess it is not ok for Bradley to go after the most money
NICE! I agree with him, if you are going to go after a guy title fight him at his weight, don't try to drain him so you can have an advantage
if some people take that as a shot towards Manny then so be it
stfu!...atleast bradley would fight pac unlike youre bitchass hero!.........
He would only fight Pac for a check..lol...He knows he doesnt stand a chance!
He also doesnt believe in fighting elite fighters.
Get off dat BS son....He's been calling out the elite...and if your talking about Devon, he is not ranked higher than Bradley and has yet to prove he is above Bradley....
Bradley has a point but he only has jumped 1 weight division. The fighter his trying to get a cheap shot too, has fought in 7 weight division. Let see him do that but he won't.
cotto has fought at cathweight, so did leonard, sweatpea , chavez , hoya, bhop etc..floyd has agreed to a catchweight only to break em.....yes , they are for bitches......lol
Those three were going down in weight to accommodate their opponents. That's completely different from what Bradley was talking about.
cotto has fought at cathweight, so did leonard, sweatpea , chavez , hoya, bhop etc..floyd has agreed to a catchweight only to break em.....yes , they are for bitches......lol
Yeah and.... he can say all of them are bitches...so what?..Fighting at a catch weight is different than being the one making the dumb demand.
Im starting to like this guy Bradley more and more. He has earned a new fan.
Good for you Bradley, Great interview also,, True champions don't need catchweights, its a shame how fighters can still be called division champs when they can't even allow maximum weight limit......
