TIM BRADLEY: "BUENAS NOCHES JESSIE VARGAS!" (MEDIA DAY PHOTOS) PhilBoxing.com Sun, 07 Jun 2015  PALM SPRINGS, CALIF. (June 6, 2015) -- Former two-division world champion and highly-rated pound for pound fighter TIMOTHY "Desert Storm" BRADLEY JR., deep in training for his upcoming clash with undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) super lightweight world champion JESSIE VARGAS (26-0, 9 KOs), from Las Vegas, NV, for the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight world title, hosted a workout today that was open to hundreds of fans who packed Bradley's Gym. Bradley (31-1-1, 12 KOs), from Palm Springs, Calif., has held a world title every year since 2008. He will be looking to extend that streak when he tries to regain the title he first won off Manny Pacquiao in 2012. Here is what Bradley and his trainer Joel Diaz had to say: TIMOTHY BRADLEY "I want to be strong and get a decisive win over Vargas - like knock him out and put him to sleep. I know he's going to have a will to win but I am generating more power in camp. I've gone back to my roots in training, doing things which got me to this high level. "I am not on a vegan diet for this training camp. I am eating fish, chicken and once a week, steak, to help build up my strength and power. "I have more big fight experience than Vargas, more speed, more power and I am the better athlete. Vargas knows in his heart I am going to bring it. In the ring I will tell Vargas, 'this in my time, not yours.' "I want my title belt back too. That motivates me. I don't care if Vargas is training in the mountains with his new trainer Erik Morales. The StubHub Center is my War Ground as Vargas is about to find out." 
JOEL DIAZ "We went back to old school training -- sledgehammers, medicine balls, swimming. This is a hard camp but we are facing a fighter who hungers to win. But Tim has too much power and more experience than Vargas." **************************************** The Bradley vs. Vargas world welterweight title fight will take place Saturday, June 27, under the stars at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif., and will be televised live on HBO World Championship Boxing?, beginning at 9:45 p.m. ET/PT.
