    Absolutely sick of the garbage being posted about Bradley

    Absolutely sick of the repeated garbage being posted about Bradley by a lot of people, who seem to have the mentality of a vicious, spoiled 8 year old & the boxing knowledge to match...

    Timothy Bradley thrashed Lamont Peterson, a genuine elite fighter;
    thrashed Miguel Vazquez, another top fighter (no matter how boring he is);
    won basically every round against Devon Alexander up until the cut stoppage;
    beat Junior Witter, sent Joel Casamayor into retirement;
    dominated solid contenders Edner Cherry & Luis Carlos Abregu (who goes on to stop top prospect Dulorme);

    He might of got 'lucky' against Pacquaio, but he also gave him a tough, difficult fight & made Pacquaio look one dimensional for much of the fight - flatly outboxing him for large stretches in the bout.

    A bit of ****ing respect is in order.


    I'm not even much of a fan, & thought their was a solid argument either way in tonight's bout against Provodnikov, but the guy is clearly a hell of a fighter & has earned a hell of a lot more respect than he's getting.

    Kendall Holt was another great win, arguably in his prime & got up from a punch a lot of boxers would've not got up from.

    The guy won his first world title, traveling to his opponents country.

    A lot of people on here are pathetic.

      I have been very critical of Bradly in the past, but as a boxing fan I want to be entertained. He has bored me to tears in the past, but he provided huge value last night.

        Agreed. Not a huge fan but a little respect wouldn't go a miss.

        Guy fought his damn heart out last night! Most of the punks of today would of damn quit after the first round.

        I think Ruslan deserves props too. He needs to work on his defense and not take rounds off but I could really see him giving a lot of guys big problems at welterweight. He looked strong as an ox & I think hes better than he gets credit for, initially he looks limited but he does a lot of subtle things.

        Great fight and one I feel both guys deserve nothing but respect for.

          Bradley has NEVER been boring. That label only got put on him after the Alexander fight, but Bradley was not the boring fighter in that fight.

          He's always been a guy who throws back when hit, not a runner. He's never run in the ring. And he's always had a ton of heart.

            I couldn't have said it better. Unfortunately, there are a lot of boxing fans with **** for brains.

                  They are clearly biased and ignorant as to what they want out of the sport.

                    Ruslan provided value. Had bradley never been buzzed there wouldn't have been a fight. And the number of times he hit his bike full speed... there wouldn't have been a fight if his opponent didn't go after him.

                    Ruslan provided value.
