Comments Thread For: Insider Notebook: Bradley's Head a Hot Topic in Big Fight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Robert Morales - There is no truth to the rumor that Timothy Bradley attended the Evander Holyfield School of Head-Butting. Yet his reputation as a fighter who leads with his head was a hot topic when Bradley and Manny Pacquiao played host to a news conference in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, expressed concern about this even before the June 9 welterweight title fight between Pacquiao and Bradley slated for the MGM Grand in Las Vegas (on HBO pay-per-view) was a done deal.

I'm stoked for this fight! The 2nd best fight for pac after mayweather actually happened for once. And I like bradley as fighter, he brings it and gives it his all in the ring so I'm happy for him that he finally has his opportunity.

Once Bradley tastes Pac's power he will be running the rest of the fight. Im not too worried about his big ol head

This should be a good fight, but I hope it doesn't end early. Sounds like Timmy's mouth is watering at the thought of lining up that big dome of his with the cut suffered in the Marquez fight

"I don't want to get in the ring and get humiliated in front of millions of fans and my family," Bradley said.

The most overated headbutts

I know Bradly has been involved in a lot of head butts, and every body is so quick to judge and try to make it seem like he takes steroid injections on his head, but I do know one thing, I have never seen Bradly throw an intentional head butt.

Bradley knows he has a lethal weapon and he's ready to use it as soon as he's in trouble. Believe me.
