Manny Pacquiao vs Timothy Bradley 2 Set for Saturday; TV Schedule, Live Stream, Predictions, PPV Info [Video]
Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley have traded barbs over the past few months, and on Saturday, both fighters will let their first do the talking as they collide in their rematch at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Bradley, who will defend his World Boxing Organization welterweight title, will look to get the credit that he did not receive when he scored an infamous split decision win in their first showdown in June 2012.
Bradley, whose unbeaten record will also be on the line, said that he is treating Saturday's showdown as his best chance to finally prove his doubters wrong and silence his critics.
"Although I am certain I won the first fight, it is now time to once again show the world who Timothy Bradley really is. On April 12 we will settle once and for all the uncertainty of boxing followers and those of the fans," Bradley said. "This is my chance at redemption and I promise I will make the most of it."
While Bradley is looking for vindication, his nemesis, the former pound-for-pound king, wants to prove that he is still one of the best fighters in the world today.
Bradley has gone on record saying that Pacquiao is already a shadow of his old self after showing no hunger and lack of "killer instinct" in his previous fights, particularly in Pacquiao's win against Brandon Rios in November.
Pacquiao said that Bradley's statements have been firing him up, and on Saturday, he is expected to go all out.
"I know what I need to do to win this time round," Pacquiao said. "Bradley has said that I only fight for money and have lost my hunger but he's very wrong if he truly believes that. This fight you're going to see a very aggressive and exciting Manny Pacquiao because I don't want to leave it to the judges' scorecards."
