A riveting one hour special on the third encounter between eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao and Timothy ?Desert Storm? Bradley will be telecast at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, the eve of the showdown at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, over Pinoy Box Office (PBO) on Sky Cable nationwide, with a replay at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday.
The special will include interviews with Pacquiao, Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach, his Filipino assistant Marvin Somodio, strength and conditioning coach Justin Fortune and highlights of Pacquiao?s training at the Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles all done by Crystina Poncher of Top Rank.
It will also feature their first fight which ended in a hugely controversial decision which was bitterly criticized by the media and Bradley?s suffering as a result of the backlash.
Highlights of the rematch which Bradley acknowledged Pacquiao won sets the stage for the trilogy which we believe may be the best of their fights and is likely to be an exciting, explosive showdown.
Pacquiao obviously wants to win handsomely which would enhance his standing in his bid for a seat in the Philippine Senate in the presidential elections in May while a defeat could be disastrous.
Manny realizes this and is determined to win what he hopes will be an exciting, toe-to-toe battle.
Pacquiao says he wants to prove that ?the hunger and aggressiveness is still there? which sets the stage for the Sunday ? Manila Time ? showdown.
Five division world champion Nonito ?The Filipino Flash? Donaire believes that if Pacquiao keeps his focus he should win because he is more skillful, has the speed and the power to beat Bradley whom he effectively beat in their first two meetings although Bradley, under veteran trainer Teddy Atlas is a different fighter now as shown in his 9th round stoppage of Brandon ?Bam Bam? Rios.
