Former two division world champion Timothy Bradley (32-1-1, 12KOs) is eager to start knocking opponents out.
Bradley shook his head last fall when he fought Diego Chaves to a twelve round split draw in a fight where many felt Bradley did more than enough to win. He also fought to a split decision with Juan Manuel Marquez in 2013, in a fight where most at ringside had Bradley winning comfortably.
He was back in the ring last week, when he won a twelve round unanimous decision over Jessie Vargas. The ironic thing about the fight, is that Vargas was moving up in weight and had only 9 knockouts on his ledger but managed to have Bradley in serious trouble in the twelfth and final round.
Bradley will continue to work in the gym to boost his power, boost his stamina, and create early endings. His last victory by knockout came in 2012 when he stopped a way past his best Joel Casamayor in eight rounds.
"I learned years ago that you can’t control what other people do, the only thing you can control is what you actually have control over. I learned to just let those things go, and let it be. There ain’t much I can do about it, I can’t cry about," Bradley told On The Ropes Boxing Radio.
"I just have to go on and somehow get better in order to keep it out of the judges hands, I got to start getting these guys up and out of there. That’s the way I feel, so I have been working hard just trying to increase my punching power and my stamina, so I have a better chance of knocking these guys out."
