Comments Thread For: The sparring sessions that convinced Tim Bradley that Terence Crawford beats Canelo Alvarez

Tim Bradley always have to put himself way up their as if he'sthe greatest in the HOF. See how he made Pacquiao so great in order to elevate himself, this dude always about self what a prick!

Bradley is a clown. After getting a gift decision vs PAC, instead of answering questions, all he kept repeating was “I won the fight 8-4”.
He then gets beat in the rematch and the third fight AND still repeats that “won the fight 8-4” BS.

He literally ducked glass-jaw Khan. Khan told him to grow a pair. The kicker is, he would have made his biggest payday and probably even won.

All that said, I still think Bradley is good man. He married a woman with two kids and raised them as his own. I can never overlook that.

I'm not sure if bradley is convincing me bud will acfually best Nelo, but I already know bud will likely do well regardless. But what I'm appreciating is how great pac actually is. Pac came from flyweight.
If bud best pac, bud would be beating a great man, but not a great win.. Pac s too small

Pac beat me 3 times so I must be great!

Gabriel rosado is the boxer with the take I agree with most on this fight, he reminded people the difference in actual weight classes and this stuff about Crawford sparring large guys with 16oz gloves will be a lot different than facing canelo with 10oz gloves

I expect it to be a lot like the charlo fight and charlo is a good deal bigger than Crawford and on paper and in photos he looks the same size as canelo but he's used to getting hit by 154 pounders and Crawford's even worse his idea of a big puncher is a welterweight

Once he takes those shots on the arms hes going to revert to safety first. He's not going to survive exchanging with canelo like it's Shawn Porter, people are nuts thinking that

Agreed. I didn’t even bother reading Bradley’s take. It’s gonna be proven wrong come Saturday, whatever it is. At this point I’m actually kind of hoping Canelo smokes Bud, and brings half the people around here back down to earth…if only for a second. Lol

I'm rooting for Bud because he's the under and because Canelo deserves to lose his belts. Canelo by decision still. Bud has too many factors stacked against him. He'll have to mop the absolute floor with Saul (which I do believe he can do with a perfect plan) or KO him to get a win, and I don't see either of those happening. At least not without the stars aligning.

TBud must have whooped Timmeh badly in sparring

fighters overrate whoever got the better of them

Something about Bud looking less than his best at 154 makes me wonder about 168. That was no bad night vs Madrimov, I saw the class, but it was not like before. Bud was hit by a bunch of big right hands and he was out maneuvered by a nobody. Scull made Canelo look bad but Bud isn't Scull. I don't think Bud will settle for a Tom and Jerry.

Madrimov is seriously under-rated. He came on strong vs Ortiz too and we don't know how good Ortiz is yet. Imo Madrimov is a better boxer than Canelo - but maybe not quite as effective if that makes sense. But in any case, styles make fights and Madrimov is nothing like Canelo.

Big Turk is a Crawford fan. He’s treating him loke the A side in this. I’m less concerned about that than any normal Canelo fight.

Its not a casino fight - the vegas casinos must be tight knit with the Nevada Commission - the Nevada Commission pick the judges and let them know who the A side is - who would you least want to p-i-s-s off - Turki or the Casinos?

I'm hoping Bud smokes Canelo. I could care less how deluded people are on here but Canelo is entitlement all over at this stage and has messed up the 168 division for years and also made a mockery of 154 and 160 by fighting at 155 for a couple of years - we need less fighters like him and more like Crawford albeit I'd prefer Bud to be more active.
