Sparring ni Pacquiao pinulaan ni Diaz

- Ni RCadayona -

MANILA, Philippines - Walang mahahanap si­na Manny Pacquiao at trainer Freddie Roach ng mga sparring partners na ma­­kakagaya sa istilo at ma­kakasukat sa lakas ni Timothy Bradley, Jr.

Para magaya ang 28-anyos na si Bradley, ki­nuha ni Roach sina Rus­sian fighters Ruslan Pro­vodnikov at Rustam Nu­gaev sa tatlong linggong high-altitude training ni Pacquiao sa Baguio City.

Ngunit tinawanan lamang ito ng trainer ni Bradley na si Joel Diaz.

"There’s no such thing as finding a perfect sparring for every individual in the world. You can find something similar or you can have a fighter sort of similar to what the fighter does," wika ni Diaz. "Believe me, there is no way that I would ever have a figh­ter who fights just like Man­ny Pacquiao. They will never find a fighter like Ti­mothy Bradley."

Isang bukol sa ilalim ng kanang mata at sugat sa ilalim ng kaliwang kilay ang nalasap ng light welter­weight contender na si Pro­vodnikov sa kanilang spar­ring ni Pacquiao.

"As far as I’m concer­ned, they got Provodnikov, the Russian. Come on. There’s no similarities between that guy and Timothy Bradley. That guy is just flat-footed, heavy puncher, who comes forward. There’s no similarities with that guy and Tim Bradley," ani Diaz.

Nakatakdang itaya ni Pac­quiao ang kanyang su­ot na World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title laban kay Bradley sa Hunyo 9 sa MGM Grand sa Las Vegas, Nevada.

Mas nauna nang binuksan ni Bradley ang kanyang trai­ning camp sa Indio, Ca­lifornia kumpara sa 33-anyos na Filipino world eight-division champion.

“We’re sparring twenty-six rounds a week. Twenty-six rounds at four minutes,” ani Diaz.
