Comments Thread For: Bradley Focused On Casamayor, Determined To Impress

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

While all involved insist that Tim Bradley’s November 12 fight with Joel Casamayor is not an audition as a future opponent for Manny Pacquiao (who faces Juan Manuel Marquez in the main event, that won’t stop the undefeated pound-for-pound entrant from making a lasting impression on the viewing audience.

casamayor isn't the greatest guy to look spectacular against tho

I'm happy to see Tim with TR but I disagree with him fighting Casamayor. He is not a good opponent for Tim's debut on a TR card.Even if Tim wins,and I think he will, Casamayor has a style that will make him look bad. The only way he looks good in this fight will be to knock him out. I always said that Tim, at this level, needs to get new trainers. I think Tim could be a KO artist with the right trainers. This guy is too compact and too ripped, and too skilled to only have 11 KO's. He loops his punches too much instead of throwing from the shoulder and hip. When he does get a guy in trouble, he gets too excited and start throwing bombs instead of using his jab and setting the KO up. I think without question, Bradley has the tools and the ability, plus the intangibles to get in the ring with Floyd and Manny. He would be competitive against either one. But without punching power, he would have a difficult time earning their respect.I still think he is skilled enough to outbox Manny.But with Floyd, he would have to be the aggresser at times and throw with power.

The key to beating Floyd at this stage is lateral movement with a solid snapping jab. He would have to make Floyd come to him and then counter his counter.Once Floyd start getting more assertive, Tim would need to switch his style and make it a brawl in the middle of the ring using fast combos and ****ing the body.But once he switches styles, which he is capable of doing, he would need to have that power to rock Floyd. If not, Floyd would eventually walk him down.

I think TR and Arum will put Tim on that big stage to shine. It will be up to him whether he gets the job done. But starting out with Casamayor, I just can't see him looking impressive.

And thats exactly why they chose Casa as an opponent, Bradley has made it clear he will chose the path of least resistance from now on until he can cash out with a K.O loss to Pac.

No one wants to see this crap. Bradley should be ashmed fighting a 40 year old has been.

You think that Casa was demanded by Bradley? LOL, that's who Arum wants him to fight....Bradley is an investment.

argee that Casamayor is not a worthy opponent for Bradley -- just a 'showcase' fight for Bradley to put his name out there and generate more $$$$ for a subsequent real fight -- Bradley should be beyond such nonsense at this point in his career

What's next after casamayor ? Tim Bradley vs Stevie Johnston, Great fights Bob.

Casa still sees the final bell
