Comments Thread For: Diaz: Bradley Paid The Price, He Was Hurt in Every Round

[BattleAxePurist]

Ruslan was going to load up with rights @ hooks and you knew Bradley was going to be there to eat them with the subsequent weeble-wobble like a drunk Irish celebrating St.Pattys. Fitting

Can't remember the last fight where a guy got hurt as many times as Bradley did it was actually comical after awhile.

Wouldn't be surprised if Timmy is damaged abit after this encounter he is close to 30 and has 3 fights in 3 years his legs looked that horrible I have little doubt he can take a shot anymore this could be a reoccuring trend.

Bradley also said after the fight that he will never let himself go up 185 again but I think that If he did do that then the damage is definitely done imo. He didn't learn from Ricky Hatton. A fighter should never go up that high in weight at almost 30 and think they will ever be the same, he basically goes on a diet to make weight...

Classic fight Bradley taking punishment like that could shorten his career I think he learned his lesson in a rematch he would easily out box Ruslan

[..WaRSpencE..]

Honestly...I don't believe Bradley ever recovered from that first round..he got caught with a shot that would've put most to sleep..and his legs were out of there from that point on..he looked good in spurts in the beginning of most rounds then his legs would go..

Bradley's heart can not be duplicated..he fought off pure heart and will after that first round last night...I'm proud to be his fan!

Wait, wait, wait!!! Did he really water balloon up to 185 lbs?!!! LOL, these fighters kill me. That **** is so unhealthy, but commonplace nowadays.

I can't believe Tim fought this guy like that. He came in trying to prove to his critics that he was something that he truly is not. He is not a KO artist. He is a technician. He gets hated on because of it but that's what made him a champion. I hope he has got that out of his system and go back to focusing on skill. These dumbass critics and haters will still be around when Tim is long gone. He needs to look at Meldrick Taylor and Terry Norris and the results of them chosing to fight toe to toe unnecessarily. Toe to toe is for guys that lack the ability and skill level of a Bradley. That's the only way those guys can win. Bradley is far too gifted to be fighting in that style. He need to shed some of that muscle. He was far too top heavy. He needs to stay lean and quick, not bulky and trying to get stronger. I don't think he understands that in boxing, speed is power. He just needs to learn to put his punches together better and set up the big shots. I'm starting to think that Diaz is not the guy for him anymore. He has done wonders for Tim, but now its time for Tim to evolve and get a better understanding of the sport. But still, he is a great champion and warrior. He's from the same mold as Holyfield. I just hope this fight didn't do any damage. There are big fights out there for Tim, but it will be a struggle for him if he continues to brawl. Arum probably has a hardon after that fight. He has a new star in Ruslan and Tim definitely won more fans. There are some huge fights Arum can put together now. Can't wait.

That fight alone will earn him bigger paydays, but I hope he never fights like that again. Fights like that causes permanent damage. Tim is too good of a guy to end up like that. But I was proud of how much heart he showed. Only a real twisted person can hate on a guy like that. He is the definition of a true champion.

He fought like that to entice Marquez into a fight. I think it worked. We will see how greedy Marquez is for money by taking that Pac fight or not after he has said all this **** about how he has no interest in a fifth fight.

Bradley's almost 30 years old. He is what he is. He let himself balloon all the way up to 185 and was bench pressing 300+. I would say he should shed the top weight too but then he might just end up like Berto and lose what little pop he has. If he's going to build muscle he should just strengthen his legs more and focus more on technique like he said he was going too...
