On Saturday night, HBO debuted their latest Faceoff segment, focusing on the June 9th Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley fight. Pacquiao defends his WBO welterweight title against the undefeated Palm Springs, Calif. fighter inside of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas in one of the year?s biggest events.
Flanked by Freddie Roach, Pacquiao?s trainer, and Joel Diaz, Bradley?s coach since his professional debut, the two sides addressed questions from HBO commentator Max Kellerman, as is the custom with the Faceoff series.
The Faceoff was full of sound bites from both sides, with Bradley and Roach stealing the spotlight for the most part.
Asked whether or not he feels he needs a knockout to defeat Pacquiao, Bradley did admit that he has to inflict some kind of damage come June 9th.
?In order to be a champion you?ve got to take chances in the ring,? said Bradley. ?You?ve got to take chances. I?m here to win. I?m not just here to lay down for a paycheck. I?m here to win. I?ve got to hurt him. Someway, somehow, I?ve got to hurt him.?
