That was it,&quot; said Bradley. &quot;There was really nothing else to it.&quot;&quot;Avoid the left hand, hit him with a right hand,&quot; he added.Diaz and Bradley&#x27;s long partnership ended last year, after which the boxer proceeded to hire Atlas, who previously worked with fighters like Michael Moorer.With Atlas in his corner, the game plan for the third Pacquiao fight has &quot;a little more in detail,&quot; according to Bradley.&quot;There are a lot of things that Manny Pacquiao does that I can take advantage of,&quot; he said. &quot;There are a lot of things that I didn&#x27;t see before in watching film and breaking film down that Teddy has brought to my attention.&quot;&quot;So I feel that this going to be a completely different fight than the first two,&quot; he added.The key, of course, is for Bradley to execute the game plan to perfection -- the way he did against Bradon Rios in what was his first fight with Atlas in his corner.&quot;If I execute the game plan, I should have no problem beating Manny Pacquiao, just like I was able to beat Rios with the game plan,&quot; he said.For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/" target="_blank">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.
