TQBR Radio 4/8: Tim Bradley vs. Manny Pacquiao II Preview, with Scott Christ

Kathy Willens/AP

What does it say about boxing, as a whole, that the first really big, meaningful fight of 2014 is happening about a quarter of the way through the calendar year? Really. That’s not a rhetorical question, and the answer probably won’t be in this post.

Whatever quasi-philosophical approach you take to figuring out how this year’s barren schedule relates to the broader ills in boxing, we have previewing to do. More specifically, James Foley of Bad Left Hook and TQBR’s Patrick Connor take a look at the rematch between Tim Bradley and Manny Pacquiao scheduled for this weekend. We wish there were more about the Pay-Per-View worth mentioning, but unfortunately, there’s… really not. The good news: joining the pair of screwballs this week is Bad Left Hook founder and editor Scott Christ.
