For Adrien Broner’s trainer, Kevin Cunningham, his hard to control fighter is already in perfect shape a month away ahead of his January 19 title fight with Filipino World Boxing Association welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao.
Speaking to EsNews, Cunnningham who doesn’t do many interviews, spoke about the fight, saying he has whipped the American into excellent form for the fight, set at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.
Cunningham said h doesn’t allow his flamboyant and extroverted ward get away with any shenanigans in the course his preparation.
Although Pacquiao is favored by many to get the job done easily, if Broner can keep up this motivation under Cunningham and get some high quality sparring in between here and now and ultimately, peak on January 19th, expect a better fight than many are saying.
Broner, meanwhile, was reported not happy with the random drug testing being conducted for the Pacquiao fight.
The lab folks for the random PED testing, according to him, appear to have called round to Broner’s gym and he doesn’t seem to be pleased about it, reports said.
It’s hard to know, though, if Broner is being serious or not sometimes, as he’s one of those guys who seems to enjoy joking around a lot.
Random drug testing is part of most fights of this magnitude these days but here’s what Broner’s had to say about the folks calling around to him before Pacquiao.
So far Pacquiao is leading the way as favorite in the fight but Broner does appear to be training quite hard, so don’t write him off completely.
