布拉德利:我和克劳福德打了上百回合

2046

蒂姆·布拉德利:“我和特伦斯·克劳福德打了上百回合，曼尼·帕奎奥是个危险的对手。”





每当蒂姆·布拉德利听说特伦斯·克劳福德有可能对上曼尼·帕奎奥时，他都会睁大眼睛。据传，这两家公司在谈判中锁定可能的6月5日摊牌，将在迪拜发生。

在大多数拳击专家看来，克劳福德有明显的优势。目前的WBO 147磅腰带持有者是世界上公认的头号拳击手，想必是在他的黄金时期。另一方面，42岁的帕奎奥自2019年7月对阵基思·瑟曼后就没有踏入拳击场。在大多支持帕奎奥的观众面前，这位前八级世界冠军在第一轮就击倒了瑟曼，然后以微弱优势险胜。

尽管克劳福德在年事已高的时候也取得了成功，但像推广人鲍勃·阿鲁姆(Bob Arum)这样的人相信，克劳福德不仅会决定性地赢得比赛，而且最终会将帕奎奥淘汰出局。

在和这两个人一起打过拳台之后，布拉德利还没准备好走那么远。

“这是一个刻薄的名字，”布拉德利最近在接受ESPN的集体采访时说。“我和那个家伙(帕奎奥)打了36局，和特伦斯·克劳福德打了上百局。那是在特伦斯职业生涯的早期，我知道他从我和他的对打中得到了很多进步，但他的那种倾向仍然没有改变。”

早在克劳福德成为像今天这样的重量级明星之前，布拉德利就在几次对打后对这位内布拉斯加州人的技术赞不绝口。事实上，布拉德利已经公开表示，克劳福德甚至会击败一流的小弗洛伊德·梅威瑟。

尽管布莱德利一直在对克劳福德大加赞赏，但他还是能发现克劳福德在比赛中存在的一些缺陷，而且他很清楚，帕奎奥会在一眨眼的功夫就利用这些缺陷。

“曼尼·帕奎奥喜欢男人的退缩，这是个问题。我们还知道，特伦斯·克劳福德被打得早，而且经常被打得早。曼尼·帕奎奥也是一个快速发车的人，他仍然拥有灼热的左手，拥有巨大的出拳力量。曼尼·帕奎奥是个危险的对手。我更倾向于特伦斯·克劳福德，但这是一场危险的战斗。”

Tim Bradley’s eyes grow wide whenever he hears about the possibility of Terence Crawford taking on Manny Pacquiao. The two have been rumored to be locked in negotiations for a possible June 5th showdown that would take place in Dubai.

In the mind of most boxing pundits, Crawford has the clear edge. The current WBO 147 pound belt holder is the consensus number one boxer in the world and is presumably smack dab in the middle of his prime. Pacquiao, on the other hand, is 42-years-old and hasn’t stepped into the ring since July of 2019 against Keith Thurman. In front of a mostly pro-Pacquiao crowd, the former eight-division world champion floored Thurman in the first round before squeaking a close but clear win.

Despite his success even at his advanced age, names such as promoter Bob Arum believe Crawford would not only win their contest decisively but also that he would ultimately knock Pacquiao out.

Having spent time in the ring with both men, Bradley isn’t ready to go that far.

“That’s a mean name,” said Bradley during a recent group interview on ESPN. “I been in the ring over 36 rounds with that guy (Pacquiao) and I been over a hundred rounds with Terence Crawford. This was earlier in Terence’s career and I understand he’s gotten a lot better from when I sparred him but those tendencies are still the same.”

Long before Crawford became the pound-for-pound star he is today, Bradley raved about the skills of the Nebraska native after several sparring sessions. In fact, Bradley has gone on record stating that Crawford would even defeat a prime Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Still, even with Bradley constantly singing his praises, he can spot several flaws in the game of Crawford and he knows good and well that Pacquiao would exploit them in the blink of an eye.

“Manny Pacquiao loves when guys pull back and that’s a problem. We also know that Terence Crawford gets hit early and he gets hit often early. Manny Pacquiao is a quick starter as well and he still has that blazing left hand that possesses a massive amount of punching power. Manny Pacquiao is a dangerous fight. I would slightly favor Terence Crawford but its a dangerous fight.”
