Abuse after Pacquiao fight nearly drove me to suicide, says Bradley ahead of rematch

God he's soft. Just shut up already and fight

Well, to be fair, he did have the whole outside world saying: "You lost.", "You cheated and you're a loser.", "You lost.", "You're a boring pillow fisted fighter.", more "You lost.", and worse... All of this right after the crowning moment of your undefeated career. Much of this from his peers. Months of that would f*ck a lot of people up. Yeah, buck up, get a sports physiologist (or shrink), unplug, and get out of town for a bit... but I can understand doubling down on the position that you thought you won when your fundamental self worth was under that kind of assault, or not handling the Provo fight in the smartest way possible. He hears all that and still thinks it's 8-4 lol yup he needs a shrink fast. His in a different reality up until now. He will wake-up only when Michael Buffer announces Pac the winner this time around. :lol1: Delusional is a word I rarely use, but this word fits the bill hehe!

Great points. Bradley even said himself on the 24/7 that his mindset going in to the Provo fight, due to all the flack he had received from the Pac decision, was that he was going to try to run straight through him, or something to that effect. What happened was a FOTY candidate.

Your words: but he is emotionally unstable meaning he will sometimes get reckless and act dumb, like in the Provodnikov fight. That said.. Timmeh talks tough, but to consider suicide when your loaded with money and love from family and friends and you still contemplate on suicidal thoughts. Shows he can't handle pressure.

Light speed said that, but yes Timmeh can be dumb and reckless sometimes. :lol1: Well dumb and reckless can also be interpreted as fighting spirit as well, I guess.:lol1: I do believe that Timmy was going through a tough time mentally after the Pac fight. No doubt about it. Anyways, what I'm hoping for is a balls to the wall, great fight Saturday night, and a clear victor is found, without controversy.

The example you just gave can be considered a weak minded fighter. He didn't stick to the game plan. That's temperance. Hence unstable, he can easily lose focus on a fight. A strong minded fighter can overcome adversities and adjust as the fight goes on he will still remain focused. Yes he did continue fighting with a bad ankle, tough yes but that doesn't make him strong minded coz as you mentioned he doesn't stick to the gameplay. He gets reckless and dumb. http://i.imgur.com/Iczu9E7.png http://jaypinho.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/boxing.gif

If you think having all these things is enough to never feel depressed, then you don't understand much about psychology. Are you even strong minded enough to go through one of his training sessions? Training for a war is different in facing real adversity when your in it. As you said he sometimes forgets the gameplan and do stupid things. That in itself is lack of focus. Your words: but he is emotionally unstable meaning he will sometimes get reckless and act dumb, like in the Provodnikov fight. That said.. Timmeh talks tough, but to consider suicide when your loaded with money and love from family and friends and you still contemplate on suicidal thoughts. Shows he can't handle pressure. A fighter needs temperance and to handle pressure head on without flinching. I thought he was at first, but upon hearing this news. I guess he ain't what most of us thought he would be. He's a glass canon. Tough in the outside and frail in the inside.

And a weak minded individual is an individual who has a family, money (in millions) and friends and contemplates on suiciding. I say that's a weak minded fighter.

I'd say a weak-minded individual is someone who thinks suicide / suicidal thoughts is something to laugh about.

A weak minded individual wouldn't have fought on with two injured ankles. Bradley is the type of guy who will try to fight with two broken legs, but he is emotionally unstable meaning he will sometimes get reckless and act dumb, like in the Provodnikov fight.

Review the first fight live comments: Max was seeing "crunching lefts" that never landed... Max would have scored it 12 to 0... go watch kellerman's in depth analysis of that fight on youtube. if you think max hasnt rewatched that fight at least 5 more times before the face off, you're kidding yourself. its april 2014 and max thinks its ridiculous that bradley thinks he won 8-4.

Emotionally unstable is considered weak minded. His unstable he can go off anytime. Hence weak minded people are not balanced in the head lol A weak minded individual wouldn't have fought on with two injured ankles.

"you won 8 to 4?! Pacquaio Bradley 1 ? YOU were Bradley? and you won?!" - Max Kellerman Review the first fight live comments: Max was seeing "crunching lefts" that never landed... Max would have scored it 12 to 0...

**** off. You don't know anything about mental illness. Just keep your moth nshut please. Affected much :lol1:

"you won 8 to 4?! Pacquaio Bradley 1 ? YOU were Bradley? and you won?!" - Max Kellerman

or maybe he really felt he won. ... while in the ring, and fighting, one feels totally different as compared to what people watching the fight feel... It's evident... ... and that fight wasn't a "shutout" fight...

Yup and he is getting another big pay day courtesy of his opponent that he should have lost to in the first place. He shouldn't even deserve a 2nd fight with Pac if the judges scored it right. because of the judges blunder he gets millions of dollars in his bank account again. He should give this judges some love. That in itself shouldn't draw him to suicide. Yup his to melodramatic. Drama queen lol **** off. You don't know anything about mental illness. Just keep your moth nshut please.
