Primetime commentator Benny Ricardo gives us the lowdown on Pacquiao vs Bradley, and gives us his thoughts on the keys to victory;

 

Manny Pacquiao has won his last 15 fights in a row since losing to Erik Morales back in March of 2005. He has moved up in weight and has broken the orbital bones of his opponents while launching 474 blows during the Antonio Margarito fight. But did he lose to his counterpunching nemesis Juan Manuel Marquez in his last fight? He did on my card, 8-rounds to 4.

 

Tim Bradley was born in the scorching hot California desert in the Coachella Valley in a city known as Cathedral City. The summers have regular temperatures of 108-(42.6) and the heat is a dry one, very similar to the heat in Las Vegas. The heat makes the men tougher than the skin on a gila monsters that live there too.

 

Boxing since the age of ten, Bradley learned his craft inside the ropes as an amateur fighting in 140 fights. He became a two-time National Champion and fought for the United States in Germany, Tahiti and Frnace. Andre Berto beat Bradley twice, once in the 2003 National Golden Gloves and then at the United States Amateur Championship. Bradley lost to Vanes Martirosyan at the Olympic Trials in 2004 and turned pro right after that.
