Teddy Atlas contends that his criticism of Freddie Roach during ESPN "Friday Night Fights" telecasts has been misconstrued as dislike for the International Boxing Hall of Fame trainer.
Veteran broadcaster Bob Sheridan is receiving boxing's biggest honor this year, when he is inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Sheridan gave his thoughts on the upcoming trilogy fight between Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley, which takes place on April 9th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Teddy Atlas admits the Internet isn’t something that occupies much of his time. The trainer/ESPN analyst isn’t involved with Twitter and doesn’t read boxing message boards. Atlas still doesn’t understand all the backlash from fight fans and media to the third welterweight championship bout between the fighter he trains, Timothy Bradley, and Manny Pacquiao on April 9 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao (57-6-2, 32 KOs) is standing firm that he doesn't plan to fight beyond the upcoming trilogy bout with WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (33-1-1, 13 KOs) on April 9th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
While the record books say that Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley - who fight once again on April 9th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas - have split their prior two meetings, most observers believed that Pacquiao should have gotten his hands raised in victory when they first clashed in June of 2012. Pacquiao was ruled the winner in their rematch in April of 2014.
Veteran trainer Naazim Richardson feels WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (33-1-1, 13KOs) is certainly capable of outboxing eight division beltholder Manny Pacquiao when they collide for a third time on April 9th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
There won't be a lot of heat for the upcoming pre-fight promotion to the Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley trilogy. The fight is scheduled to take place on April 9th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, has already started the theatrics by criticizing Atlas' motivational corner antics and also stated that he's not very impressed with Atlas' body of work in past fights.
Eight division boxing champion Manny Pacquiao says age will not be factor when he faces World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Timothy Bradley in a trilogy fight on April 9th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Pacquiao turned 37 last month, he will enter the ring with a near one-year layoff and he's coming back from a surgery on his right shoulder. The injury was suffered during last May's twelve round decision loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach is not impressed, at least not yet, with the recent pairing of Timothy Bradley (33-1-1, 13 KOs) and Teddy Atlas. Bradley hired Atlas in September after parting ways with career trainer Joel Diaz and hired Atlas.
The trainer who steered Manny Pacquiao to his first world title – the WBC flyweight championship when he knocked out Thailand’s Chatchai Sasakul in the 8th in December 1998, says he doesn’t believe Pacquiao’s third bout with Timothy “Desert Storm” Bradley will be an easy fight. The showdown is set for the MGM Grand Garden Arena on April 9, some eleven months after Pacquiao dropped a unanimous twelve round decision to Floyd Mayweather Jr in the “Fight of the Century” last May 2, 2015.
