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

[torosboxing75]

I feel bad for Tim the fans or lack of fans and probably the death threats and media finally got to him. Different fight for him he took a beating but I have even more respect for him now. He deserves a high profile fight and now that he showed he can be hurt someone else might want to fight him HHHMMMM!

Bradley didn't listen to Diaz, he fought a dumb fight. Sad thing was he didn't even learn after the first 2 rounds.

Had he been in the ring with a prime Pacqiuao or heavy puncher?? Are you ****** man? What is Ruslan? A feather fisted fairy? Ruslan hits twice as hard as Pac. Also Carlos Abregu? Not a heavy puncher either huh? Go troll somewhere else.

Sorry to say Pac was never the puncher people think he was, period. Definitely not at WW where he has 0 KO's, 1 TKO (in the 12th I might add) and what, 5-6 decisions? Please man piss off.

Also Timmy was exposed with no chin? Man are you high or blind? He took shots for 12 rounds that would have KOed a bull and he was standing at the bell. Give me a break dip****.

you gotta give Bradley credit for going toe to toe when he didn't have to

Boxing needs more Bradleys

It always amazes me how some so called fans will never give certain fighters credit no matter what they do. Sure Bradley got a gift against Pacquiao but he damn sure "paid the price" against Ruslan. He got hit with some incredible punches and just kept firing back! I was not much of a Bradley fan before but I sure am now; Bradley showed incredible heart, chin and balls the size of cantaloupes. Plus, here is a guy who fights to provide for his family, not to live like a wanna be pimp. He is respectful in and out of the ring and next time he has a pay per view fight I will buy in to make his paycheck 49.95 higher.

I give them credit for a hell of a heart and determination. So props to Bradley.. But you have to admit he took an awful amount of punishment.

[Fighting_Pride]

the judges in the us are incompetent, they somehow side with more main stream names. bradley was just moving a lot but provodnikov clearly gave out more punishment. another gift decision

[AsianBigfoot]

The Russian should have won if he's not an idiot after 2 rounds of hurting Tim he surprisingly stop punching what an idiot he could finish Bradley off in round 3.

It's true, he fought completely out of character last night and it goes to show why boxing involves more than just trading punches. It was a tremendous action-packed fight of course but a person can only sustain a few encounters taking so much punishment before the damage is permanent.

I'll have to disagree. Bradley has always fought in that manner. He was flatfooted and slower than normal due to his excessive weight. Other than that it was the same dude.

Stop making excuses..this guy's camp is full of f'ing excuses..my ankles, my legs, I changed my fight style..dude when you went back to boxing you still got your shh rocked..he's lucky as hell Ruslan wasn't throwing bomb uppercuts..I counted six times in round 10 Bradley was trying to push away using his head where an uppercut would've had his entire face in its path. Doesn't matter what Bradley did Ruslan hit too hard and with bad intentions..you can only jab and dance so long eventually that jab will get timed and countered and we saw plenty of it last night. Great fight tho..kudos to him for surviving, personally don't think he won but it would be nice to see him end one high profile fight without some excuse.
