By Chris Williams: Unbeaten Tim Bradley says he’s been working on trying to prevent head-butts in his training camp while getting reach for Saturday’s fight against WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao.

Bradley is going to try his utmost to keep from clashing heads with Pacquiao, but he doesn’t want to hear Pacquiao making more excuses after he kicks his backside on Saturday night.

Bradley told ESPN “We’ve been really focusing on not allowing the heads to clash. We’ve been working on throwing our shots before we step in. I don’t want any damn excuses at the end of the night after I whop that butt.”

True, we don’t need Pacquiao dreaming up excuses about how his family life got in the way of his training and/or concentration in the fight, preventing him from giving it his all. I wish there wasn’t going to be any excuses but I can definitely see a series of excuses coming down the pike with Pacquiao and his trainer Freddie Roach. I just hope it’s something that is reality based and not something seriously out of this world, like Pacquiao had a terrible camp or something.

We’ve already heard Roach announce recently that Pacquiao just had one of his best ever training camps, which is what Roach said last time before Pacquiao’s controversial decision over Juan Manuel Marquez last November. But then after getting what many boxing fans consider a gift decision, Pacquiao’s trainer Raoch started with the excuses about how Pacquiao’s training camp wasn’t good at the very end because of family problems.

This is one of the rare fights in recent years that Pacquiao isn’t fighting either an old guy or someone that had been recently been pounded on. Bradley doesn’t have a lot of mileage on him nor is he as old as the hills. He’s still young and hasn’t been thrashed yet. He’s also not weight drained from one of Pacquiao’s catchweight handicaps.
