bradley to appear at cathedral city's celebration
while timothy bradley will be honored in the coachella valley this weekend, his controversial victory prompted comment from a prominent politician in washington on tuesday.
Cathedral city will honor the wbo welterweight champion with a celebration saturday. The rally will take place from 7 to 8 p.m. In the town square in front of city hall.
Bradley, a cathedral city resident and graduate of cathedral city high school, will address fans at the event, which is free for the public to attend.
Bradley posted a message on twitter and facebook on tuesday to thank fans for their support in his split-decision victory over manny pacquiao on saturday in las vegas.
“i would like to thank all my friends, family, and supporters,” bradley wrote on facebook. “i finally had a chance to watch the fight last night and after watching it i felt just like i did the night of the fight ... I won the fight! Pacquiao is a great man and a great fighter and he will have a chance to get his title back and at the same time i will be able to get a more definitive win.”
on monday, bradley had an mri on his injured left foot, which he injured in the second round saturday. The mri didn't reveal any fractures in the foot, but there are some pulled ligaments, manager cameron dunkin said.
Bradley will be off his feet, which includes a twisted right ankle, for eight weeks.
Dunkin said the fighter has had a difficult time ignoring the media backlash from the decision.
“he's trying,” he said. “it's hard, though. He's a nice kid, and he takes a whole lot of this personal, and they're pretty vicious out there. It's been pretty hard on him.”
the outcry continued tuesday. Senate majority leader harry reid (d-nev.) supported calls for an investigation into the judging of saturday's fight, although he said he believed nothing “untoward” occurred.
Bob arum, the ceo of top rank promotions, formally requested monday that nevada attorney general catherine cortez masto look into the outcome.
“remember this fight involved hundreds of millions of dollars,” reid told reporters in washington. “as i said, i am confident there was nothing untoward. I think people just make bad decisions in a lot of things they do — including judging fights — but it doesn't hurt to clear the air and take a look at this.”
in 2010, pacquiao endorsed reid at a rally four days before the senator won re-election over ********** challenger sharron angle. Reid and arum also are close friends.
