Manny Pacquiao's Lifestyle Change Will Be Difference Maker Against Tim Bradley

Manny Pacquiao has made some alterations to his lifestyle outside of the ring that will help him defeat Timothy Bradley inside the ropes during their bout on June 9.

According to Leighton Ginn of The Desert Sun, Pac-Man confessed that problems in his personal life impacted the way he prepared for Juan Manuel Marquez, which led to his subpar performance and controversial decision over his opponent last November.

Pacquiao has since made proper adjustments to improve his overall well-being and it should pay dividends against Bradley.

Trainer Freddie Roach explained:

"

“We had a great training camp going into the fight, then everything fell apart that week,” Roach said on a conference call. “It showed with Manny during the fight, but I don't think it will happen again. Manny eliminated the distractions around him and he's more focused for this one.”

"

The world famous trainer stated that Pac is no longer going out and living it up at night; he now prefers to engage in biblical studies.

When Pacquiao was asked about it, he seemed to believe this switch is helping his personality and will not hinder his ability as a great boxer.

“When I commit to my life to the lord, it helped my life,” Pacquiao said. “It will not affect my job.”

Bob Arum, the promoter who said his client seemed distracted less than 10 days ago, seems to have changed his tune.

"

“The difference in Manny's face is so apparent,” Arum said. “He's not as tired as he was, not as worn as he was. There's a glow in his face. I think this religious awakening has been all good. I'm a bit prejudice because I'm a religious person myself. But I believe when young athletes find religion, they only enhance their careers.”

"

Without distractions, Pacquiao is one of the two greatest active boxers in the world right now. The only way for him to lose against Bradley is if he beats himself.

Don’t expect Pac-Man to do that now that he is focused and mentally prepared for the fight.
