Both Devon Alexander/Timothy Bradley Are Confident From Their Fight Camp Notes

According to a press release both Devon Alexander and Timothy Bradley have provided fight camp notes to the media to update everyone on how their fight camps are going in preparation for their upcoming 140lbs championship super fight on January 29th, 2011 at the Pontiac Silver Dome in Detroit.

Devon "The Great" Alexander 21(13)-0  Training Camp Notes:

Camp Location:  I am training in Las Vegas for this fight.  While I have trained
here before when I fought out of the Cory Spinks camp, for my last two fights my
promoter, Don King, allowed me to live in the home where Mike Tyson lived when he
trained in Vegas.  I love it.  It gives me inspiration to know I'm sleeping in the
same bed "Iron" Mike slept in when he trained here.

Training Regimen:  My trainer, Kevin Cunningham, took me up to the mountains outside
Las Vegas last year to a little ski resort at the top of Mt. Charleston to run.
 I call it 'The Monster' and its one of my biggest challenges while training.  I
 have to face and conquer it three times a week, and with snow on the ground now,
it has become much tougher. Every day, we go out for a six-mile run in the morning, and then head to the gym in the afternoon.  My workouts include shadow boxing, mitt work, heavy bag, speed bag, sparring and jumping rope.  I average 30 rounds per day in the gym, Monday through Saturday.  And on the seventh day, I rest.

Diet:  Basically as far as meat, I only eat salmon, tilapia, turkey breast and chicken
breast.  The rest of it is fruits and vegetables.  It's just fuel for me.  I want
to eat what will make me perform best.

Personal sacrifice:  Eating light is not my only sacrifice during this training
camp.  Due to this fight being in January, I've had to give up the holidays with
my friends and family back in St. Louis, which is hard.  My kids will wake up on
Christmas day without dad being there. I was in the gym on Christmas.  Come January
29, that's something else that Tim Bradley is going to have to pay for.  I think
about that every day.

Timothy "Desert Storm" Bradley 26(11)-0 Training Camp Notes

Camp Location:  I am back in Indio, Calif., where all of my camps have taken place.
I have never found the need to go anywhere else as my family is not a distraction
and does not get in the way of how my camp goes. My family is what keeps me strong.
If I had to go somewhere else, I would not be able to focus the way I do because
I would be worrying about them.

Training regiment:  My training is Monday through Saturday and consists of running
45 minutes daily, sparring a few times during the week, strength training twice
a week, and most of all doing my best to execute the plan.

Diet: My diet consists of grains, vegetables and my protein sources come from tofu,
tempeh, beans and nuts.  Turning vegetarian for every training camp is nothing new
for me.  In fact, it is something that has worked for me for the past two years.  Other fighters are even trying this now, so this just puts me ahead of the game.

Personal Sacrifice: This year did not feel much like Christmas because I am so focused
for January 29th.  I don't really consider it a personal sacrifice because this
is my job. I know what I have ahead of me.  But my personality was not in the Christmas
spirit like every other year and know that I had to set mind up for this.  But even
though this was the first Christmas I had to work, the real gift will be coming
on Jan. 29th.

Today was the media conference call with both Alexander and Bradley. Both fighters appeared to be confident and yet respectful of one another.

It is with out a doubt the biggest fight of both Alexander and Bradley's career and they are both anticipating it to be the fight of the year.

Last Friday on ESPN's Friday Night Fights Devon Alexander made an appearance and mentioned he had a master game plan to defeat Bradley but smiled and said he can not disclose any details of that plan. He then said pretty much the same thing again today during the media conference call.

With Alexander being a 3-1 under dog against Bradley and also looking less than impressive in his last bout against Andriy Kotelnik, in a fight that many thought he was awarded a hometown gift decision in, he should indeed have a master plan against the faster, busier fighter Bradley.
