Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley Nearly Stopped, Sucks It Up To Win a War

[TX_BOXNG]

amazing, this is what boxing is about, is about showing skills but u gotta have heart to do it, im speechless, Bradley did everything he shouldnt of done but still won

[LAFIRPO]

I'm not claiming that he has the stamina to outwork Bradley for the entire fight, but he certainly could have edged out an additional round. The fight was well within his grasp and imo he allowed it to slip away. We're repeating ourselves, so again, we'll have to agree to disagree: I think Garcia could have given him the extra incentive he needed. Roach seemed as unmotivated and discouraged as Ruslan in those middle rounds.

Ultimately, the fighters fight the fight. But again, what you're saying is in hindsight. It's the equivalent of me saying, the Knicks could've won that game if Woodson would've prepared a better play and Anthony would've hit that 3 pointer.

Hey, they came close, but it didn't sink in. And even if Pat Riley would've been coaching, Carmelo Anthony still has to hit the 3 pointer.

Could Garcia make his fighter push harder? Maybe. Maybe not. But I certainly don't think its Roach's fault that Ruslan slowed down after the 6th and wouldn't let his hands go. I am sure Roach wanted to let Ruslan's hands go as much as you did. LOL

The man was exposed bro. .

You keep using that word and I'll cut you off right there. No he wasn't.

It wasn't Bradley's best performance, but you also can't write a guy off because of one performance.

That's a big problem in boxing today; you lose a fight or have a bad performance and people want to write you off.

Do you know how many great fighters have loss fights and have come to win championships?

Well Bradley said he was at his best prior to the fight who should I believe him or you? Unless you are Bradley himself lol. This isn't about "other" Champions, Bradley isn't considered a Great, he doesn't really even have to much skill. He's a good little athletic fighter, nothing more. He showed great Heart tonight but he was still exposed and based on his performance I don't see him beating Marquez who has him on his radar as we speak and will probably be jumping all over him to fight in 5 4 3 2

Ehhh Bradley hasnt looked good since the Devon fight, where he didnt look "good" either

[cupocity303]

He said he was going to get Ruslan out of there, KO HIM! He said that he would show better technique and have a lot more punching power! He said he would dominate. These words came out of Bradley's own mouth and because of those statements that he made that he couldn't back up I think it's safe to say he's been exposed and it cannot be denied because it is a fact. Maybe you should go back and watch a few of Bradley's pre fight interviews.

What he said is irrelevant. It's what type of mindset he came in that matters. You can use what he said to make fun of him for being wrong. But calling it being exposed is just hyperbole.

And you should look up the word fact and it's definition. Basing your opinion off of interviews and then calling it fact is just dimwitted.

best believe if Marquez hurts Bradley he'll go to the body to seal the deal unlike Provo????, what ever his name is.

I'm trying to tell them lol. If Marquez landed that right hand in the 2nd round that Ruslan landed. Which is the same punch that KO'ed the great Pacquiao then Bradley is getting KTFO quick. They'll see..

You know it's a damn good fight when both corners are threatening to stop the fight at one point.

Nobody said he was great. But he won tonight and he has beaten good fighters and was once the king of the 140 pound division.

I am not sure what you mean by exposed. Bradley has been in with some good fighters and beaten them.

You alk about Bradely as if he was some prospect or something. Bradley is bona fide fighter who will give many fighters trouble.

As to who would win those future fights, hell should I know. If I was so sure about who wins what I would take my money and bet it and get rich.
