Comments Thread For: Thomas Hearns Teaches Tim Bradley The Right Hand Bomb

[BesWorldChamp]

I think this is more of Tim paying homage to a legend, rather than him learning something new that he can use on Saturday. Learning how to throw a punch like that, when you have never done it before, takes a lot more practice and polishing before you can use it in a superfight.

Agreed….he’s practicing for his future fight with Khun(t)…”Khun” because that’s the way Roy Jones kept pronouncing during the telecast, and I thought it was hilarious…and the “t” because it just suits him, all that trash-talking, believing his own hype BS when he was barely surviving a tired ass Maidana….

Hearns can show how to throw that punch all he wants Timmy still couldn't hurt a 5 year old girl with it.

I wouldn't be so quick to discount any knowledge Hearns may have given him. If there is one thing that Bradley lacks is power so if he can incorporate that into his game, he may start stopping more guys. And the more KO's you get, the bigger you become (just ask Sergio Martinez, who is now on everyone's radar)...

Who has the better defense?

devon. he's never been on the canvas before

Who's the better counterpuncher?

devon. timmah is a volume puncher

Who has the better footwork?

debatable

Can Bradley fight on the inside better than Alexander? How about outside?

timmah is the better inside fighter. devon is better from the outside.

Does Alexander even know how to cut off the ring, let alone better than Bradley?

cutting off the ring isn't devon's game.

Answer these questions correctly and you will actually learn something (Hint: punching technique isn't the only thing that determines skill level).

what did we learn today kids?

answer: timmah isn't more skilled than devon.

[Pullcounter]

You realize different people teach punching differently, and there are lots of different ways of throwing the same punch?

nah... there is a correct way to throw a punch and there is an incorrect way to throw a punch.

but some guys get away with throwing a punch incorrectly.

Calzaghe didn't shift all his weight through.

cause cokezaghe has no skills. he's a slapper.

Nor does Mayweather.

you just showed your ignorance

Nor did Ali/

once again u showed your ignorance

I don't get what you're saying? Great fighters have to shift their weight through the punch?

you don't have to shift your weight through the punch all the time, but you shouldn't just be learning about it a week before the biggest fight of your career.

devon. he's never been on the canvas before

So instead of basing it on an average of how many punches land clean on them, you base it on KDs? I guess Pascal's defense is better than Hopkins.

devon. timmah is a volume puncher

So Bradley hurting Witter, Cherry, Peterson, and Abregu with counter right hands was a sign of his volume punching?

debatable

Devon really danced beautifully against Kotelnik, he looked just as good as Bradley against Peterson.

timmah is the better inside fighter. devon is better from the outside.

Timmy is better on the inside and outside. He's already proven it in his fights, but it'll be fun once he proves it H2H.

cutting off the ring isn't devon's game.

That's one less skill Devon has and Bradley does.

what did we learn today kids?

That you don't know what you're talking about .

answer: timmah isn't more skilled than devon.

Response in bold. Hilarious post though.

Punching power is is a God Given talent you can only show a fighter so much. Tommy was built like a Knock out puncher Bradley was not.
