EAGLE EYE ROACH HAD CONCERNS OVER BRADLEY'S GLOVES

By Ben Thompson | June 08, 2012

Shortly after the weigh-in, Timothy Bradley and his trainer, Joel Diaz, along with Freddie Roach, who represented Manny Pacquiao, had to pick out and review their respective gloves for Saturday's showdown. While Pacquiao will be using his usual basic red Cleto Reyes gloves, Bradley opted to use a designer black, white and gold gloves made by Grant. As Bradley was still trying out a set of his gloves, Roach raised some concerns over a seam that he felt could be dangerous for his fighter. After Nevada State Athletic Commission Executive Director Keith Kizer noted Roach's objection to the gloves, Joel Diaz calmly replied, "It's no problem. We don't want no excuses," and the issue was quickly resolved when Bradley chose to use a second back-up pair of gloves. Check out what went down behind-the-scenes in this exclusive look!
