i rooted for pacquiao, halfway through the fight, i cheered for tim bradley.
dude's classy, works hard, never talked ****, no excuses.
not sure why there's so much hate out there, other than for his claim of 8-4 in pac brad 1.
but in the end, it was the judges that gave it to him, he didnt do that himself. im sure he would rather take a loss than be degraded like he was XD.
i felt so bad for bradley. this was more like his chance to "revenge" than pac. he "won" the first fight, but NOBODY agrees. more like bradley wanting rematch :p.
Nice . I would rather he fight true champions in his division porter/thurman , brook/vargas , danny garcias punk ass . The winner of brook/vargas is my number one choice because brook beat porter and vargas has a grudge after the first fight.
Hmm, dont know why I haven't thought of him facing Danny Garcia at all. I'd like that fight and I think Tim would take it by a close dec. Dont know why this fight hadn't crossed my mind at all
Tim has a heart of a lion, thats for sure. His recovery is great and he has skills too.
Here is a Highlight video I made some time ago about him if someone is interested

I really would like to see Bradley against Cotto or Khan more than anyone else. To be honest, I didn't want to see Pac vs him the third time, but oh well. He has a great resume and officially only has losses to Pacquaio. Showcased unbelievable heart against Provodnikov and looked real good against Rios (although Rios didn't seem to be very interested about boxing at all)
I hope we can see him fight for few more years and I really hope that we will see him against Khan or Cotto in some point

Tim is a great guy , no doubt in my mind he will be a champion again.
/Signed -- My relationship with Timothy has gone from yawn, to rage, to grudging respect, to repect. He has many good years left, and I'll cheer for him.

:LOL:
I think it was clear Bradley did his homework and trained hard for the fight, and put his heart and mind to give most of us a great performance. The fight was mostly tactical that's why we did not see a KD/KO, both fighters must have reviewed tapes a lot and avoided previous mistakes, for example, Manny was not moving his head to the right/left after he throws a punch to avoid a counter since Bradley was swinging wide to catch Manny's head, and Manny anticipated what Bradley would do. It was not a one sided fight or a blow out.
Most people think Manny has slowed down, but I don't think so, Manny performed that way because of Bradley's preparations. I think Bradley will be in the HOF too in the future and in some ways he fought like the old Marvin Hagler.
I have greater respect for Bradley now. He deserves all the money he made for this fight and deserves a higher purse for his future fights. Warrior boxing styles than overly defensive styles are attractive and most people like humility in victory and defeat. Thanks Timmy for a good show.

It's good to see that Bradley is finally getting some love and his long over due appreciation among Pac fans. I thought the backlash he received from them, in the first Manny fight was totally unjustified and undeserved. After all, he wasn't the one wrote his name into the record books against Pac but the judges who scored the fight and were certified and licensed by the state of Nevada did.
^ you troll >__>..
tim brad showed a lot of heart and he showed he could brawl or box if he chose to again provod
Yeah he chose to get repeatedly punched in the head. He chose permanent brain damage.
i disliked Bradley after the first Pac fight, but after the Provod fight he showed he has character and a true fighting spirit, he's now one of my faves
