LONDON (6 November)  - World champion Tim Bradley has vowed to dazzle this Saturday night against big punching Brandon Rios under the tutelage of new trainer Teddy Atlas.  The 32-year-old star has claimed he is a much improved fighter since joining forces with Mike Tyson’s one-time cornerman and that he is unfazed at anything the relentless Rios will throw at him.  “I don’t care what Rios is doing in his camp. I am only concerned about what I am going to do on fight night. I am absolutely, totally focused. I am not the same fighter I was before,” said Bradley.  “When Teddy came to camp he challenged me, not what I could do physically but my mental aspect of fighting. When Teddy came to camp he took a book of images of certain rounds I had fought previously.  “There were notes about what I did right and what I did wrong. No trainer of mine has ever prepared for a fight like Teddy has for me against Rios,” he said.  Two-weight champion Br...

HAMMOND READY FOR TOUGHEST TEST ON MUNDINE UNDERCARD   AUSSIE sensation Cameron Hammond says he'll be more than happy if he has to box his way to victory over Sahlan Coral on the undercard of the big Mundine v Hartley bill in Melbourne on November 11.   The 2012 Olympian has shown his devastating power in recent outings, with his last four opponents failing to hear the final bell.   But he's prepared to go the long route to take his record winning run to 15 fights and move a step closer to his dream of winning the Commonwealth welterweight title.   "I've got a good run of knockouts happening at the moment, but I honestly don't go looking for it at all," Hammond, 26, said.   "If it happens, it happens. I've been stopping guys with one shot lately which is exciting, but I'm more than happy going the distance too.   "I don't really know that much about my opponent apart from the fact he's going to be tough. I don't really tend ...

  RICKY HATTON is predicting an explosive ending to Zhanat Zhakiyanov's interim WBA bantamweight title fight with Yonfrez Parejo this weekend.   The teak tough Kazakh challenges for the crown at glitzy Salles des Étoiles venue in Monte Carlo on Saturday night (November 7) and 'The Hitman' believe his charge will put in a show-stopping performance.   "Zhanat is one of those fighters that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end because he's got such raw power," Hatton said.   "I've been training him for about two-and-a-half years now and he's seemed to get stronger and stronger each day since.   "He's knocked his last 12 opponents out and I believe he'll make it 13 on Saturday night.   "Obviously, Parejo is going to be a very tough opponent. He's won the interim belt and scored some good knockouts of his own, but Zhanat is a bit of an animal and I think he's going to be too much for Parejo."   Victo...
