TIMOTHY BRADLEY
Training camp is going well. I feel strong. Ready to go. Ready for a
dominant opponent in Carlos Abregu.
I'm used to fighting big guys. I'm going to feel Abregu's power. In the
beginning, I am sure he will have heavy hands. Then I will take it from
there.
I don't want to get hit by any heavy shots. For me to win this fight it
comes down to fighting smart and not getting over confident.
I trained to go 12 hard rounds. I'm not a knockout puncher but anything
can happen. A KO would be amazing.
Abregu is a dangerous fighter.
I am finally on the big scene now. I worked my way from the backyard to
a bigger audience.
These fights that I am fighting are meant to open up doors. Before it
was hard getting a fight at 140 pounds.
I want to fight the best fighters in the world. I understand that boxing
is a business so I know that I have to fight them all and I am willing.
I'll fight Devon Alexander, I'll fight Amir Khan, I'll fight Marcos
Maidana, I'll fight Victor Ortiz. I'll fight any guys.
Devon Alexander... That's a guy I want. He has made all kinds of false
accusations, saying I “feared him.” I'll go to St. Louis to fight him if
I have to. If it works with the business, let's make it happen.
I’ve got a promotional and management team, they know what's best.
I'd fight Pac Man or Floyd. If I can get into the ring with them I've
accomplished what I needed to in boxing.
Floyd Mayweather is the best fighter in the world and he could drug test
me all he wants. The only thing in me is my GOD-given talent. He can
test me all he wants.
I feel I am ready for a fight with Mayweather or Pacquaio.
Everybody's beatable. Everyone can be touched. Those four corners can
close in on you. Mayweather has big fight experiences as his advantage
and I have my youth.
Pac Man is a monster too. Both these fighters are the best. Pac Man's a
speedster. A fight against him would be fireworks.
They can take me out to the deep water, I'm ready. I’ve got a big will
to win. It's fun to talk about it but it would be a lot more fun to be
in the ring with either one of them.
My team has been pushing me and boosting me into the pound for pound
Top-10.
Bob Arum has excuses. My job is to continue to win. Boxing fans want to
see fights and I know that Pac Man or Mayweather will need dancing
partners and I'm waiting.
I was frustrated when the Maidana fight fell out so I checked with my
manager Cameron Dunkin and he said we would move to the original plan of
fighting Carlos Abregu.
I just want to win, As long as I get a victory, I’ve done my job.
Amir Khan is the most protected fighter at 140 pounds. He's a good
fighter. I don't know what he is afraid of.
For Abregu, I just need to keep my left hand up and stay smart.
Sometimes I let my heart get in the way and I get over aggressive. I
need to stay poised to win the fight. I need to stay smart and not get
reckless.
I have a lot more energy. I don’t feel like I have been training for a
fight. I’m not tired. I'll have even more energy come fight night.
I feel strong at 147 pounds. I feel a little slower but a lot stronger
up at top. I feel like getting on the inside and fighting.
I normally walk around at 160-165 pounds. For fight night I will be at
no more than 150 – 151 pounds.
After focusing on this fight, I’ll see if I can get a good fight at
147...Berto, Maidana, possibly... But for now my focus is on Abregu.
ALFREDO ANGULO
I have kept up my same routine as I would with any fight. I'm working
hard. The only thing that has changed in training camp is I brought in
Daryl Hudson, my strength and conditioning coach.
With Daryl's training I feel great strength in my legs and arms. I'm
also much faster now.
I plan to pressure Alcine in the ring. I'm going to force him to fight.
Alcine runs in the ring but all fighters do.
I have kept up my training since my last fight.
I am able to eat what I would like because I train so hard.
Alcine is a great fighter. He has only one defeat and that was against a
great fighter.
After Alcine, I don't have a preference. I'll fight whoever can give me
a great fight.
Everyday when I am at the gym I try to learn and do something different.
The day a fighter says he knows it all is the day he is in trouble.
