Manny Pacquiao is going to make Tim Bradley fight every 2nd of every round when they square off next week in Las Vegas, the Filipino star’s chief trainer declared yesterday from Los Angeles.“Manny will not take his foot off the gas pedal this time and he will accept nothing short of an unconditional surrender,” asserted Roach as quoted by publicist Fred Sternburg after presiding over another intense workout at the Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood.PACQUIAORoach asserted the 35-year-old Pacquiao has realized in that he has to shed off his Mr. Nice Guy image in this rematch set for April 12 at the MGM Grand.“As Leo Durocher used to say, ‘Nice Guys Finish Last.’ And when Manny enters the ring on April 12, he will not be the Mr. Nice Guy he was the 1st time he fought Tim Bradley. Bradley has-been preaching a lot of revisionism when asked about their 1st fight against each other,” asserted Roach, referencing to the former Major Leaguer’s famous line.
