Happens in April 12th, probably. http://www.opposingviews.com/i/spor...o-vs-timothy-bradley-ii-set-april-or-may-2014 http://www.badlefthook.com/2014/1/6/5281370/pacquiao-vs-bradley-rematch-likely-for-april-12-2014 Last fight ended in controversial decision in Bradley's favor Im very excited for this fight, as for other fights in 2014 too. Khan vs Mayweather is pointless, but im still curious to see it What do you think?
Not set yet: Their first fight was mega controversial, with the majority of watchers coming away believing that Manny Pacquiao had beaten Timothy Bradley. But the judges, two out of three, said different. Duane Ford and the egregiously flawed CJ Ross gave Bradley, a California-based boxer who used movement and volume to impress the arbiters, the victory on June 9, 2012 in Las Vegas. Pacquiao, it looks like, will get a chance to scrub that stain, and show fight fans and Bradley that the loss was an aberration, a mistake of monumental proportions, as the Congressman has chosen Bradley as his next foe, in a rematch to be held April 12 in Las Vegas. So says the rumor mill, though official word hasn't come from Team Pacquiao or Pacman's promoter, Top Rank. I reached out to a publicist who does work for Top Rank in the late AM, and that person said that bout wasn't set to his/her knowledge. Pacquiao advisor Michael Koncz, via text, said the bout wasn't official, either. "Cannot confirm that yet," he said. But word has leaked out, and tellingly, I'd say, the lack of a refutation from Top Rank or Team Pacquiao is telling. Bradley's star has grown brighter since that first Pacquiao tangle, as he got a W over rumbler Ruslan Provodnikov last March, and followed that with a masterful effort against Juan Manuel Marquez last October, handling him with relative ease comparing to how Pacquiao has dealt with the Mexican counter-puncher. Bradley is now 31-0, with 12 KOs, and there will be a solid minority of figh****chers who will tab him the favorite against Pacman, with their reasoning being that at 30, he's a bit fresher than the 54-3-2 Pacman, who turned 35 on Dec. 17. Then again, Manny worked all the angles and his hand speed and stamina looked spot on in his last effort, a wide UD12 over Brandon Rios in Macau on Nov. 23. http://www.thesweetscience.com/news...7882-rumors-abound-pacquiao-bradley-ii-is-set
Interesting little piece of an interview with Andre Ward on Bradley: Jenna: Andre have said before that you don’t get enough credit for your wins, and this is something people say about another fighter like yourself, Timothy Bradley. What are your thoughts on him as a fighter? Ward: Timothy Bradley is a friend of mine, and I really respect Tim. I actually fought Tim when I was 14-15 years old, I think at about either140 or 147, and it was one of the toughest fights of my career, amateur or pro, and one intangible that Timothy Bradley has is his desire. You hear a lot of fighters say that, “I’ll die in the ring, I’ll do this and I’ll do that” and I think he is one of those guys that are willing to go to that place to get a victory, so Timothy came up the hard way, nobody ever gives him credit, he’s always the underdog.
