Bradley was very defensive of Lamont Peterson. He said what Peterson took (testosterone pellets) are not on the banned list, and they are not a banned substance. He then said, but because his levels were high everyone will brand him a cheater, except of Bradley.

Bradley doesn’t believe him to be a cheater and he honestly thought that the pellets were a natural substance, and he only tried to help his body. He thinks Peterson should be cleared.

When he finally did start talking about himself and his training he wasn’t short on praise. He said that he started to peak already and he is starting to slow down his training with weeks to go. He said he wants to be fresh and not feel over trained come fight night.

But slowing down already may hurt him in the long run. He is currently at 152 pounds with the fight taking place at 147.

He said that his game plan that he and his team have worked on will help him dominate Pacquiao. He did call Freddie Roach a “retard” for comparing him to Ricky Hatton. And he said they will be shocked and he will expose Pacquiao.

He then talked about his biggest foe, Amir Khan. Saying that Khan tried to act like a big man. He claimed that Khan muttered “you need to grow some balls” to Bradley as Bradley walked off the stage at the Pacquiao-Marquez weight in.

He went on to say that he considered slapping Khan but was a good sport and walked away.

He did say that every dog has his day and Amir would get his shot. He also predicted he will take Khan out, either at 140 or 147 pounds.

Who will win? Pacquiao or Bradley? And if it does happen, Khan or Bradley? Tell me on Twitter @dallan09
