We start with the press conference to announce the fight. Quick clips of Manny ("This fight is going to be a good fight!") and Bradley ("I'm here to win this fight"), and the narration notes the "amiable" nature of the two fighters. Their press conferences were incredibly nice -- they seem to truly, really, genuinely like and respect one another. And there's something about that I'm finding more and more appealing as it goes on.
In part, I find it appealing because it isn't just friendly. Bradley has said repeatedly -- including on the Face Off interview with Max Kellerman -- that he likes and respects Manny Pacquiao. But he has also made it abundantly clear that he's not coming into this fight to be Pacquiao's friend or just to say he fought one of the greats. He's intensely serious about winning, and doesn't care that he's being counted out by many.
