Eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao has promised an action-packed fight when he meets Timothy ?Desert Storm? Bradley for the third time at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on April 9.
There was pandemonium when Pacquiao and his entourage arrived in Los Angeles as a hoard of photographers, reporters and fans tried to get closer to the charismatic Filipino who has announced that the fight against Bradley will be his farewell appearance.
Pacquiao said he had ?a very good training camp? in his hometown of General Santos City and had sparred ten rounds before leaving for Los Angeles with trainer Freddie Roach and will resume training at the Wild Card Gym on Monday.
Pacquiao told Crystina Poncher of Top Rank that ?there is going to be a lot of action? in the Bradley fight and he will ?answer the questions in everybody?s mind? about his abilities at the age of 37.
Roach told the Top Rank live streaming of the arrival that they had ?a very good training camp in the Philippines? and Manny sparred ten rounds with Ghislain Maduma and Lydell Rhodes before leaving which Roach described as ?a very good day.?
Roach will bring in two additional sparring partners when Pacquiao resumes sparring at the Wild Card Gym including undefeated welterweight Frankie Gomez who has a record of 20-0 with 13 knockouts.
The Hall of Fame trainer predicted an ?exciting fight in which Manny will look for a knockout.?
