Comments Thread For: Bradley: Roach is ******ed Comparing Me To Ricky Hatton

[Eaner0919]

I guess we can respectfully agree to disagree...

fair enough

good debate regardless

[Jam Jars]

Oh there's plenty more besides that guy... Idk how anyone can be a fan of Bradley.

Ugly style
Ducker
Headbutter
And no charisma

And I have much less respect for him now after calling Freddie ******ed. You can call ANYONE ******ed but not someone who has problems.

You know he didn't mean it like that so stop pretending you're offended.

he squares up way too much and that fits right into Manny's wheelhouse. Guys who give Manny issues are guys who give him small targets to hit. That's one of the reasons why JMM does so well.

I agree. It is also why Holt almost knocked him out with that left hook in the 1st round.

see

your revising history

Holt was pretty close and had Bradley in dire straits towards the end of this fight to say he was dominating is again letting your bias for him speak more than anything.

the Cherry fight was okay but in all honesty are using Edner Cherry as a benchmark?

Witter- again with revising history and subjecting your own bias into it. I rooted for Timmy and thought it could have gone either way with the KD essentially tipping it his way

the last paragraph is written with more bias but yes I thought both the Holt and Witter fighters were close

I don't remember how I scored it but I think I might not have given Holt a round apart from the kd rounds.

Cherry fight-- doesn't need to be mentioned for reason you say

Witter- I thought Bradley clearly won that fight and it shouldn't have been a SD.

Anyways, your overall point in this thread being that Bradley wasn't looking sensational against these guys is correct.

That Peterson performance was a masterclass though. Bradley's best performance till date.

Btw what do you predict for Pac-Bradley?

Gary Shaw had this man fighting at the doubletree hotel late into his career. ?He was basically an opponent vs Witter in UK, Cherry in Mississippi, and Holt in Canada (of all places), and once back in the US he's fighting at Chumash and Agua Caliente on the regular. 2 hokey casinos during a recession? Then for the biggest fight of his career he books the Pontiac Silverdome near Detroit? Nevermind Alexander is from St Louis and Bradley from SoCal. So what The Silverdome guaranteed 2mil if the gate does 5,000 whats the point?

This guy got to where he is inspite of Gary Shaw. Bradley should have been fighting at Nokia, Staples, Honda, Ontario, HP, Oracle, Vegas, etc etc etc. he should have been on big undercards for years now, not headlining fairgrounds shows. But you know why he wasn't? Because Shaw doesn't have A listers to pair him up with. And how was Shaw going to make it up to Bradley for being loyal and fighting through all those minor league shows? He was going to feed him to Khan and concede everything in the contract to Khan and Golden Boy including the Lion's share of money, venue, ring size, etc etc. Shaw saw the writing on the wall and was trying to cash Out. That's gratitude. Not taking that fight and signing with TR to win the Manny lottery is the smartest thing he did. It's a win win. Lose to Manny? No shame, the world now knows Tim's name. Win? And be right there with Buster Douglas in the annals of championship upsets (in the mainstream media). The world is his oyster.

No losing in this proposition short of pulling a Cheaterson or Plasterito. And Shaw gets zero. It's a win-win-win.

he couldn't sell out Peterson Campbell and Abregu in his own backyard literally 20 minutes from his hometown

No bro, bradley can't even adapat marquez's stance

Normally, most would try to fight in a style they think is best against a certain opponent. That's what they were trained to do in their training camps for a certain amount of time. But when they start getting punched in the real fight, they revert back to their old self or normal style. Frankly, I don't have any idea about the outcome of this fight.

For as good as Timmy is (and he is very good) he has faults that lay right into Manny's hands

1. he squares to throw
2. he's not very hard to hit
3. he is active lending Manny chances to counter

Timmy will do well in spurts but I think he gets caught awful by a punch he doesn't see and gets stopped

I hate saying that because I can see this being a dogfight because the skill sets and athleticism are about as level as we have seen in a Manny fight in some time but I think Manny will connect on something bad on Timmy

[mex602]

Take it to the bank and end up broke. I forsee him giving a post fight interview saying something along the lines of Pacquiao having the most power he'd ever felt blah blah. Sounds similar to what Mosley said and something along the lines of what Cotto said.

Lol yup the same lame excuse

[-MAKAVELLI-]

thread title made me laugh

[MikeRo1972]

I know, you make my point. And I attribute that to bad management and Shaw.

LOL

to me bad management and promotion could explain why no one watches him on TV or comes to bigger venues like say Staples or Home Depot

but your own backyard? with only 2200 seating capacity?

that lays on the fighter sorry I know you either know him or dig him but he's never been a draw
