Timmothy Bradley somewhat reminds me of a younger Hopkins.

I think a better comparison is with Meldrick Taylor. He doesn't have the defensive IQ of Hopkins even though he is hard to hit with a flush punch more times than not.

Shawn, i don't believe Timmy was using his head "flagrantly". But then again, i'm one of those who has yet to see anyone prove to him that Evander used his head intentionally. I don't think Tim was doing it on purpose but he was definitely initiating it. I believe this is just a case of styles. Tim is used to fighting taller guys than Nate, and vice versa. It might technically be accidental, but when you have the same accident over and over and don't change whats causing the accident, it becomes intentional. In the court of law the term would be gross negligence. Knowing something will cause a problem but not doing anything about it. You can't convince me that Bradley doesn't know what he does with his head is a big factor in his fights.

I understand. By the way, see the rematch? Mercado got his ass whopped. Of course. Hopkins whooped that boy :D

I don't think Tim was doing it on purpose but he was definitely initiating it. I believe this is just a case of styles. Tim is used to fighting taller guys than Nate, and vice versa. It's just that he fights with his head down, while Nate was upright. Bunts happen.

Okay, you are seriously retarded. Otherwise you would know that you don't walk someone down behind the shoulder. Floyd doesn't even walk people down behind the shoulder. He attempted a pseudo shoulder roll when he was on the ropes, it didn't work then he put his guard up. When did I say he used it when he was trying to walk him down in the round opener? The only retard here is you, nate quit last night and reminded us once again that he is a dim-wit. I always knew he wasn't the smartest fighter out there, but I always thought he had heart, but it looks like he is missing that too.

No doubt. I'm just saying, yeah Bradley got dropped twice, but so did Hopkins early in his career. I understand. By the way, see the rematch? Mercado got his ass whopped.

The only comparison that can be made is his flagrant use of headbutts as a weapon. Shawn, i don't believe Timmy was using his head "flagrantly".

Nate's shoulder roll impression was by far the worst I have seen. He couldn't roll shit, and was getting busted up while he tried to do it, hence why he tried to use a high guard after and proceeded to quit. Okay, you are seriously retarded. Otherwise you would know that you don't walk someone down behind the shoulder. Floyd doesn't even walk people down behind the shoulder.

It's funny how scrubs question peoples logic. Go fukk yourself. Well prove your logic to me then. Show me where Nate was getting hit prior to the last flurry in round 3. And you did watch a stream on the net, didn't you? ;)

The only comparison that can be made is his flagrant use of headbutts as a weapon. Flagrant? Nate cut him self from dipping down into Bradley's head after a body shot.

He is no way as crafty, or as good, but some comparisons can be made to a green Hopkins of the earlier 90s. The only comparison that can be made is his flagrant use of headbutts as a weapon.

It just became apparent to me that either A) you don't know a thing about boxing or B) because you watched a choppy stream of the fight on the net, the punches that appeared to you to land, didn't. It's funny how scrubs question peoples logic. Go fukk yourself.

I don't really credit what Mercado did to B-Hop in the 1st fight. Alot wen't on, armed soilders kicking down doors, the altitude and B-Hop felt, had he won, he wouldn't have been able to leave alive. Honestly, you know you won a fight when you get dropped twice, fight in the opponent's backyard and come out with a draw :rofl: No doubt. I'm just saying, yeah Bradley got dropped twice, but so did Hopkins early in his career.

pretty much. other than the knockdowns, i thought he did fine. i would say holt couldn't handle bradley at all, really. Disagree, there was alot more to it. While Bradley clearly won, Holt put in some rounds including the 2 KD's.

Hopkins was dropped 2 times by Mercado and came away with a draw (Although, he clearly won), Bradley was dropped 2 times by Holt and came away with a win... so, yeah. I haven't thought of this comparrison though, I'm gunna re-watch some Bradley fights (If I can get my hands on them) and have a look...

lol if anyone would have reminded you of anyone Saturday night it was how Nate was doing his best James Toney impression. Rolling with shots and working angles. I like Bradley and he seems to be on OK kid, but he still has a lot to learn with his technique. Not to mention the Karma that follows Gary Shaw will soon catch up to him.
