Timothy Bradley – In Search Of a Belt and Respect, Not Necessarily In That Order
By Thomas Gerbasi
 |
Joel Diaz knows a little something about being the odd man out while fighting in hostile territory.
He’s been there when his brother Antonio traveled to Connecticut to fight Micky Ward and New York to take on Shane Mosley. He saw his other brother Julio go to the Big Apple to face Justo Sencion and to Florida to fight Ricky Quiles, and he’s even been in the position of challenger on foreign turf himself when he fought Philip Holiday for the IBF lightweight crown in 1996.
So when Diaz, Timothy Bradley’s head trainer, talks about the things his fighter will likely face in England this...

It's now officially less than eight weeks before Manny Pacquiao faces WBC lightweight champion David Diaz on June 28th at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. But he's nowhere to be found inside Freddie Roach's Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, California.
So just where is the ‘Pac Man'?
"Pacquiao is running and playing basketball right now and he will be here on Sunday," said his trainer, as he fidgeted with a speed bag from behind the front desk of his gym. "We talked about (being here) eight weeks before the fight but it turned out to be seven."
Where's Manny?

It was a little over five years ago when Showtime decided to air a doubleheader tape-delayed from England. In the main event was a rising undefeated junior welterweight named Ricky Hatton, who was looking at his toughest test at the time in facing faded, but still respectable Vince Phillips.
Occupying the co-feature slot was also a familiar name, though perhaps for all of the wrong reasons. For Junior Witter, it was his first appearance back on the network – or any stateside television station, for that matter – since his career-worst performance against Zab Judah three years prior.
