How the hell can people hate on Tim Bradley??

[TRTboy]

I just watched the fight and all I can say is WOW. What a ****in fight. I still don't get why bradley gets too much hate. The dude works and fights his ass off everytime. How he made it thru the 2nd round I have no ****ing clue. He was out on his feet and was ****in swinging with a pitbull. My respect for tim just went up even higher because I think he could have easily outboxed ruslan but he chose to brawl becayse he wanted to get the fans on his side again after the pacquiao mess which wass not his fault anyway. BTW I'm a pac fan but I feel that bradley was unfairly treated for something he didn't have anything to do with.

Bradley is a ****in beast you have to kill the guy to beat him. Can't wait to see him back in action!

Whats really killin me is that no one recognized that he did this also with pacquiao. Pacquiao would have him hurt and he stood there and swang back,except it didnt looks soo good because of pacquiaos awkwardness. Point is, this not new for bradley. The man has always been a warrior, jus overshadowed by controversy

[Check_hooks]

He actually thinks he beat Pacquiao

He actually thinks he beat Pacquiao

lol I think he knows deep down he didn't but doesn't want to look bad for his own fans

We must have now had about 4 threads asking this same question over the last 24 hours alone.

He did, he got the W and Pacquiao took the L.

Most boxing fans don't hate Bradley, but you can't get away from the fact that he was seriously over-rated for a long time. He's a good fighter, but he isn't a great one on the level of Martinez, Pacquaio, Marquez, Ward, and Mayweather.

Yea he fought dumb to please fans who sent him death threats,amazing

I don't think it was a matter of fighting dumb. I think he was hurt bad in round 1 and never recovered. It's hard to keep a guy like Ruslan off you for 12 rounds and the fact Bradley only went down once is amazing. (well he should have been given a knockdown round 1)

I think it was a matter of styles, Ruslan comes forward with a great chin and inside is a really good fighter.

Been a Bradley fan for some years now. He absolutely IS a great fighter. The thing that plagues him is his lack of power. Unfortunately he actually showed some power in this last fight, its just that it was against a gut with an iron jaw. Provodniklov is a tough out for anyone. He's going to make some serious noise at 147. He reminds me of Katsidas, just much, much tougher. He's gonna stop some guyts in the top 3 or 4 of the division. That will be the measuring stick for which we measure Bradley. Bradley beat this tough guy that KO'd some guys in the top 3 or 4.

Trouble is nobody wants any parts of provodnikiv now. he did himself a disservice by beaing too good.

Bradley should gain more from almost getting KTFO'd then he did by winning fights with his style. Bradley has a very nice resume for a 29 year old JR WW/WW Champ,period. Alexander quit vs him. He whooped Abregu. He has the ..ahhem..win over Pacman.He beat Vasquez easily and Whitter in England.He beat Peterson easily too.He got off the deck to beat Holt and Provodnikov too.He may not have any power but he has balls.He should face Pacman again in 2013...it's coming now. Arum saw his vulnerability and a Pacman KO over him is step #1 in the "Manny Restoration Project" since JMM is going to fight Rios.That is assuming Rios beats Mile High Mike again,big assumption.
