Timothy Bradley confident of beating Manny Pacquiao

Timothy Bradley, the current WBO light welterweight champion, is fully geared up ahead of the biggest fight of his career with the eight-division world champion and the current WBO welterweight champion, Manny Pacquiao, because he knows upsetting the Filipino star could completely change his life.

The 28-year-old undefeated American pugilist, Bradley, who holds a record of winning all of his 29 professional fights (1 no contest), with 12 of his wins coming by the way of a knockout, will meet Pacquiao on June 9 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada and he has said that he will enter the ring a pretty aggressive approach.

Bradley in his exclusive interview with Boxingscene.com insisted that he will not take Pacquiao’s pressure on the fight night.

“It doesn’t matter,” Bradley said. “Manny Pacquiao is the biggest name in boxing, next to Floyd Mayweather. But it’s a name. He’s a fighter. He’s a human being. He has skill; I have skill. I’m not like in awe when I see Manny Pacquiao. It’s another fight to me. Take away all the cameras, all the attention, the media, put us in the ring and it’s a fight. It’s a fight to me.”

“I know what I’m capable of doing because I have been pushed to that edge, to that limit,” Bradley said. “I know what I’m capable of doing. I know that I can compete with this guy. I think that he’s going to bring the best out of me.”

Well, all said and done, Pacquiao, who carries a record of winning 54 of his 59 professional fights (2 Draws), with 38 of his wins coming by the way of a knockout, will enter the ring as a red-hot favorite as a result to which all the pressure will be on him and this thing can certainly benefit Bradley.

However, let’s see if Bradley can really beat a man, who is regarded as the best fighter on the planet.
