Bradley warns Horn: Pacquiao is deceiving

BRISBANE, Australia – With Manny Pacquiao, what you see isn't necessarily what you'll get.

This is the strong message by Timothy Bradley to Jeff Horn, whose camp believes they have carefully studied Pacquiao and already knows the Filipino icon from head to toe.

Speaking at an event called "Boxing Royalty Luncheon" at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre here Friday, the former welterweight champion that he, too, carefully analyzed Pacquiao's fighting style prior to his first bout with the Filipino in 2012.

He found out that clashing Pacquiao in the ring is an entirely different matter.

"At first I watched him (Pacquiao) on film, but then when you actually get in there and fight him, he's actually faster than what you saw on film," Bradley told those in attendance in a short question-and-answer session.

Seated alongside Bradley as the event's "VIPs" were WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker, boxing legends Roberto Duran and Jeff Fenech, renowned ring announcer Michael Buffer, veteran commentator Bob Sheridan and Top Rank Inc. boss Bob Arum.

Again, Bradley warned Horn about the attributes of Pacquiao, who stakes his WBO welterweight title against the Brisbane native on Sunday

"His footwork is a lot quicker. He's a lot smarter than what you saw on film," added Bradley, who knows Pacquiao well, having fought him three times.

"He's very deceiving," he continued.

Bradley then talked about how equally great Pacquiao is outside of the ring, before going back to describing how the fighting senator is as an opponent.

Struggling to find the right word, Bradley went for a long pause, prompting Fenech, the Australian boxing great, to butt in.

"Beatable!" said Fenech, sending the room into frenzy.

Bradley just smiled and sent his regards to the challenger.

"Listen. Jeff Horn, good luck to his camp," he said.

R. Tiglao Exposed LTO Records Showing Aquino Never Bought or Sold a Porsche

Veteran columnist Rigoberto Tiglao exposed the Land Transportation Office (LTO) records of former President Benigno Aquino III showing that he never bought or sold an expensive Porsche car. The LTO records proved that the former President did not sold his Porsche 911 Carrera car which he claimed he bought for P5 million. The controversial Porsche car of the former President made headlines just months into his presidency but he explained that he bought the luxury car with the proceeds he got when he sold his BMW. Because of the furor from such display of opulence, Pres. Aquino claimed to have sold it six months later for exactly the same price. According to Tiglao during that time he asked through his column the LTO to release the car's deed of sale and registration to prove that it was not a gift from a Chinese-Filipino tycoon as rumored by some individuals critical to the President. The only possible way to discover whether the Porsche luxury was indeed sold was through ...

Tesla cloud account hacked to mine cryptocurrency

© Provided by The Hill An unidentified outside hacker infiltrated Tesla's Amazon cloud account and used its systems to quietly mine for cryptocurrencies, a cybersecurity firm announced Tuesday. The hack also potentially exposed the electric car company's data. Researchers for RedLock found that Tesla's credentials on an IT administrative console were not password protected. They made the discovery while trying to track down which organizations had left their Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials openly exposed on the internet last month. The hackers quietly hijacked the console and began running scripts to generate virtual currency like bitcoin, the latest in a series of "cryptojacking" attacks. The researchers also found the hackers used "sophisticated evasion measures" to go undetected. A spokesperson for Tesla said the company learned about the breach in a company-sanctioned bug bounty program that pays outside hackers to discover vulnerabilitie...
