Timothy Bradley says he's already right around the 147-pound limit for his June 9 fight with Manny Pacquiao, and that he's planning to come in a bit light for his big stage shot at glory:

"I've been training for three months now. I'm on weight. I left the gym at 147-pounds today. I'll probably be coming a little light on the day of the weigh-in, 145 or 144. I'm just eating a little bit more. I feel great, I feel comfortable and I'm ready to deliver."

Bradley (28-0, 12 KO) will be looking to pick up Pacquiao's WBO welterweight title, but of course the title belt isn't really the prize here, it's the chance to face one of boxing's two biggest moneymakers and make himself a superstar if he can pull off the upset.

Jhonny Gonzalez will defend his WBC featherweight title against Daniel Ponce De Leon on September 15 in Las Vegas, part of the pay-per-view undercard for the Canelo Alvarez vs Paul Williams show.

Gonzalez and Ponce De Leon are both multiple-time, multiple-weight titleholders, and both currently reside in the 126-pound division top ten. What makes it even better is that good action is to be expected, and this could be a show-stealing fight that makes the PPV fee look better.

Gonzalez (52-7, 45 KO) won the WBC belt in April 2011, defeating Hozumi Hasegawa in Japan by fourth round stoppage. He followed that up with a series of fairly easy defenses over journeymen Tomas Villa, Rogers Mtagwa, and Roinet Caballero, before facing and defeating ex-titlist Elio Rojas in April.

South Korean slugger Ji-Hoon Kim may not throw the gigantic right hand that he used to, but subtle improvements defensively and a more workrate-based offensive attack got him the win tonight over Ali Rahimov, handing the former amateur standout from Uzbekistan his first loss as a pro.

As you can see above, Kim (24-7-1, 18 KO) threw an absurd amount of punches over the 10 rounds, leading him to winning scores of 96-94, 97-93, and 98-92. Rahimov (23-1, 12 KO) was effective in the fight, but just could not always handle the crazy activity of the fearless and improved Kim, who deserved the W and got it.

Ryan Bivins returns to Bad Left Hook this afternoon with a special look at the June 2 fight between Peter Quillin and Winky Wright.

* * * * *

On June 2, Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillin will attempt to advance his 26-0 undefeated streak against future Hall of Famer Ronald "Winky" Wright in a middleweight contest scheduled for 10 rounds. This is a change of pace for Winky, whose previous 23 fights over the last 16 years, have been scheduled for 12 rounds. Wright, who hasn't won a fight in over five and a half years, is now in his 40s and is widely considered a huge underdog. Nonetheless Wright presents a step up in opposition for the 28 year old Quillin.

This fight is a crossroads in both fighters' careers. Quillin hopes to earn his first world title shot while Wright wants to see if he has one last title run left in him. Ironically when I first interviewed Peter over a year ago, he named Felix "Tito" Trinidad as the boxing idol he most identified with. Consequently a win over Wright will mean more to Quillin than just business. It will be a little personal too.

Peter Quillin, an African American of Cuban heritage, donned the name Kid Chocolate in tribute to the former world featherweight and junior lightweight champion of the same name. The original Kid Chocolate, also called the "Cuban Bon Bon", was born Eligio Sardinias Montalvo. As Montalyo was the first Cuban to win a world title (back in 1931), Quillin hopes to be the next. But right now Winky Wright stands in his way. They say every great fighter has at least one great performance left in him. Wright's last great performance came against none other than Quillin's idol Tito. Winky hopes history will repeat itself while Kid Chocolate looks for retribution. But who wants it more? Who needs it more? Hunger could very well decide the fight.

Depending on the angle of perception, the A52 running through Derby to Nottingham is merely a functional grey road accommodating dull metal heaps chuffing back and forth. An irreversible gateway for industrial caverns, its pylons married to a rusting sky: one great inevitable sprawl between inorganic conurbations. From one metropolis to another, the A52 rolls itself on, a cog in the engine, one part of a ceaseless network of mournful roads plodding into the vague distance.

Yet take a different perspective, and the A52 is transformed. The potholes imbued with meaning; the tarmac, a narrative. Take up a different angle, and this long, winding road becomes a vital sign of a glorious past, a physical monument soon to be worn down by the gradual persistence of man and nature; yet enshrined with a history that shall remain impervious to malleable time. From another perspective, this is the Brian Clough Way.

On Saturday, Carl Froch shall make his way to the Capital FM Arena knowing the significance of what that road stands for: the legacy it preserves, the greatness it remembers. An unromantic symbol of a bygone era.

Timothy Bradley faces Manny Pacquiao on June 9 in Las Vegas, live on HBO pay-per-view, in the biggest fight of the 28-year-old American's career to date. In the weeks leading up to the fight, we'll have Q&A sessions with the fighters, courtesy HBO. Here's Pacquiao's third entry. See Also: Pacquiao's Concerns About Bradley's Headbutts and Problems With Marquez, Danger in Bradley.

At this point, what is keeping you and Floyd Mayweather Jr. from climbing into the ring together? Will the fight ever happen? How Important is to you being considered one of the best of all times when you career is over? What's that your goal when you started fighting 8 divisions below?

"The only thing preventing a fight between Floyd Mayweather and me is Floyd Mayweather. He no longer wants to split the pay-per-view revenue with me equally, something he agreed to in our first negotiation. Will the fight ever happen? It's up to Floyd. I hope it does. I'm a competitor and I enjoy a challenge. I know the fans want to see us fight. I think it would be good for boxing. As long as I continue fighting I will remain hopeful that the fight will take place.
