Manny Pacquiao: “I Need To Win This Fight.”

April 4, 2014

Manny Pacquiao talks exclusively with Sherdog.com’s TJ De Santis about his April 12 rematch with Timothy Bradley. In short, Pacquiao knows he has a lot to prove.

Pacquiao lost in a very controversial decision to Bradley following their first fight. No doubt Pacman wants a one-sided fight to prevent such a ruling this time around; he wrote in a recent HBO blog post:

“There is something different in this training camp. There are a lot of people who doubt I can fight the same way I fought when I knocked out Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera. I want to prove to them that I am the best. I am inspired. I am the challenger. I know I will need to outbox and outspeed Bradley. And that is what I will do. This is the first time I have challenged for a world title that I lost. Do I want it back? You bet I do; and I want it back from Tim Bradley.”
