3 Keys to Victory for Timothy Bradley

Timothy Bradley never gets the credit he deserves. He boasts 33 wins, which included victories over some of the world’s best fighters, and only one defeat.
That singular loss was to Manny Pacquiao, which Bradley himself admitted was a loss to one of the greatest fighters in the world. Prior to that defeat, he had already beat Pacquiao once before by a highly-controversial split decision.
Once again, Bradley needs to make a significant statement in the final episode of the Bradley-Pacquiao trilogy.
Pacquiao is at the end of his career, though Bradley is still young and has much more time in the sport. He put on an impressive performance last fall against Brandon Rios, thanks in part to his new, yet old-school trainer, Teddy Atlas.
There’s a bit of uncertainty whether or not Bradley can put on another great performance with Atlas in his corner, having only worked together for a short amount of time.
They say that a tiger can’t change its stripes but then again, Bradley isn’t a tiger–he’s a fireman.
