Tim Bradley behavior of HEADBUTTING played a “CONSTANT” role in his PAST 6 victories!

Tim Bradley behavior of HEADBUTTING played a “CONSTANT” role in his PAST 6 victories! By. Horus Bradley vs. Alexander this past weekend was a revealing look at two fighters who were both undefeated and who were champions. For one fighter, his streak of consecutive wins continued, and for the other his streak ended. For this Article we will focus of the fighter whose winning streak continues to an impressive 27-0. Before this fight, I said that Bradley is not the biggest, not the strongest, not the fastest, not the most technical, and to make it worst he is not even Marketable. But he is a fighter, and he does what fighters do, fights. He is discipline and he doesn’t get tired or quits. So fittingly once again, Saturday night he proved as my assessments of him true. However, one painfully problematic assessment of Bradley I miss was His constant behavior of head butting, and being involved in head butts. I choose the word behavior, because that is the word that perfectly describes what is going with with Bradley and his head butts. To be clear, Behavior: Refers to a person action intentionally or unintentionally. Behavior is what a person does, not what he thinks, feels, or believes. So as a result; Bradley’s behavior and his habit of head butting his opponents has now had him with 6 opponents in a row, and 6 Fights in a row in which he has a head butt’s average of 3 head butts per fight. That’s average total of 18 head butts in the past 6 fights. I know some will argue that his head butts are all an accident and unintentional. Make no mistake about it, this is not a mistake, this not a coincidence, this is not a trend, and this is an not accident. This BEHAVIOR of Tim Bradley has become a dangerous Habit. Meaning this is a part of who he is and what he does. Habit: A recurrent, often unconscious pattern of behavior that is acquired through frequent repetition http://www.gifsoup.com/imager.php?id=1863711 GIFSoup What we can all determine by these facts are that no matter how big or how small of a part it played. Bradley's headbutts played a "CONSTANT" role in his past 6 victories. So what we need to do is STOP BLAMING BRADLEY’S VICTIMS, and Start BLAMING BRADLEY. How more opponents have to get headbutted before we say ENOUGH!

I guess it's supposed to show a "headbutt" but the more telling blows are those two left hooks landed.

The only two who have said a damn thing about it or used it as an excuse are the two who quit because they thought it would work out for them, Nate Campbell and Devon Alexander. They can see spots and scream how much it burns all they want, Bradley didn't dominate them because of headbutts.

If dudes knew how to fight inside they wouldn't get head butted or not as much. You saying he shouldn't be allowed to accidentally headbutt somebody is saying he can't inside fight.

ii'm not sure but i don't remeber ay headbutts in the peterson fight and even if there was i don't know how it could of made that much of a difference bein that tim was the one fighting of the back foot for most of that fight and i don't remeber too much headbutts in the abregu fight

This is really 3 threads combined into 1. But instead of making 3 separate threads I decided to make 1 thread and just combined all the arguments in one post good move and good thread. I agree I think he does it on purpose and I think it really is time that referees start addressing it very early in his fights to remove it from his arsenal. Is it why he has become a top fighter? of course not but I think can be a deciding factor and definitely affected Alexander. Ward is another guy who needs to be disciplined for the use of his head.

A few times Bradley was headbutted by Alexander too. Being a lefty and holding Bradley after he punch or as he punch did contribute to even more butts. IMO they are not intentional. Bradley is a short agrressive boxer that uses his legs to get in and start punching. His head is going to be a factor when he fights. He will rough you up and you have to adjust to his style. In a small way John Brown was similar that a lot of fighters would get headbutted but they were not intentional. Mosley handled Brown the right way Yes most were a result of Alexander holding, I said this right after the fight.

It's just apart of his already dangerous and violent style, it's obviously not intentional. Fighters have had to deal with that style in the past regularly, the only difference is that they were able to handle it and adjusted accordingly. Alexander isn't an elite fighter though he's pretty basic. Tim was going to work him over with and without headbutts.

different shots of the headbutts http://www.gifsoup.com/imager.php?id=1863651 GIFSoup http://www.gifsoup.com/imager.php?id=1863711 GIFSoup

you can clearly see how Alexander was holding. bye what you can clearly see is bradley dipping his head into alexander face. even if he did hold bradley does than mean it is ok for bradley to then to headbutt Alexander? See you later http://www.gifsoup.com/imager.php?id=1863711 GIFSoup

http://www.gifsoup.com/imager.php?id=1863711 GIFSoup Msybe I should post headbutts from his past 6 fights to show how his headbutts played a "CONSTANT" role in those victories. you can clearly see how Alexander was holding. bye

yeah i think it def. has something to do with him winning....i mean how can it not help if he's not being penalized? if they allow it to continue he will keep doing it whether its intentional or not.

Its obvious that he does it on purpose. Hes used to it so it doesnt hurt him. Accidental, Southpaw vs orthodox, whatever excuse you wanna make up doesnt hold up because hes dont this in 6 straight fights, multiple times each fight and against southpaw and orthodox. Hes a below average fighters without headbutts and would get ktfo by Maidana and lose by UD to Khan.

The difference between Ward/Hopkins and Bradley is that when Ward and Hopkins are in close, they like to dig into their opponents with their head down. They lead sometimes with their heads. I dont really feel like Hopkins/Ward do it on purpose either, but there still really has it happen more often. They tuck in their head. Bradley comes in a lot more aggresively, while Ward/Hopkins stays in there willing to smother them. Bradley smothers, but not in the same way.

That's ok in theory. But very often it's the person who retaliates that gets punished by the ref. Think of Holyfield and Tyson. I can't condone what Tyson did to Evander's ear, but in his defence he was being butted to phuck all night. Well Tyson tried to bite his ear a 2nd time, so I don't know if that could be used as an example.

I've said this before, but Bradley has developed a deceptively good defense. When he's not reckless and free swinging (like against Holt in the first round), he use economical head movement, body movement, uses his gloves to pick off shots, and steps out of range. I really don't care about Compubox, but it said Alexander landed 129 punches or something close to that. I thought that seemed a little high and whatever Alexander did land, was limited. His body movement was very good his jab looked pretty improved as well. Alexander only landed a handful of solid shots, what I saw from the fight made me think Bradley has a damn good chance against Khan, though I still favor Khan.

Bradley did his homework on Devons gamec-hanging punch, his defence for it was impeccable. I've said this before, but Bradley has developed a deceptively good defense.

If Alexander felt Bradley was doing him dirty then it's up to him to make it a street fight. That's ok in theory. But very often it's the person who retaliates that gets punished by the ref. Think of Holyfield and Tyson. I can't condone what Tyson did to Evander's ear, but in his defence he was being butted to phuck all night.

To be fair, he tried to uppercut Bradley a few times, but he missed all of them and his right hook wasn't very good, too much of a slap or too wide. TBH, I just don't think he's good at making adjustments and Cunningham didn't help one bit. But I agree with your last sentence. It's kind of funny to think that I watched a fight involving a 19 year old kid fresh out of the amateurs in his third pro fight who knew how to deal with someone coming in with their head, yet the supposed next great thing cannot. Bradley did his homework on Devons game-changing punch, his defence for it was impeccable.
