AUSTRALIAN PROMOTER PETER MANIATIS SAYS BRADLEY'S PLAN TO TARGET PACQUIAO'S SHOULDER IS A BIG MISTAKE

Well known and multi-awarded Australian promoter Peter Maniatis says that Timothy "Desert Storm" Bradley's plan to attack eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao's right shoulder which underwent surgery to repair a tear in his rotator cuff five days after the loss to unbeaten, pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr who has now retired, thinks "it's a big mistake for Bradley and his Team."
Maniatis recalled his own experience when he underwent surgery similar to Pacquiao twelve years ago and in conversations with his own surgeon that "Pacquiao's right shoulder will now be stronger than ever" just like his own shoulder which Maniatis said "is better than ever."
The Australian promoter predicted that he expects "a strong comeback performance from Manny and a late KO over Bradley."
Meantime Maniatis who co-manages WBA light flyweight Interim champion Randy Petalcorin, the talented southpaw from General Santos City with JC Manangquil said "Randy is honored to be given an award from the Elorde family at Annual "Flash" Elorde Awards night on March 29."
He will receive the award after a devastating KO win over SECA boxer Ma Yi Ming last April in Beijing winning in the 1st round when he dropped the Chinese challenger three times to successfully defend his WBA interim World title.
Maniatis told us he is "hoping Randy can defend his interim WBA World title on the April 23rd card featuring WBO super bantamweight champion Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire against Hungary's former Olympian Zsolt Bedak.
He said Petalcorin "is training hard and ready to fight."
