Comments Thread For: Timothy Bradley: Standing There and Trading Was Idiotic

[Bushbaby]

Yes it was Bradley,any fool can stand and throw punches,it was exciting but dumb and you may have lost some years off of your career by doing it.See Hopkins learned a long time ago not to enter the ring trying to satisfy fans who will love you one day and hate you the next.You let a few bitter busters get under your skin and made you fight a ******ed fight..but props to you for showing mad heart and fortitude but you got to much talent to fight like that man

Excellent post.

Sure is easy to sit back and say beforehand that Tim might have needed a fight like that for his career but I'm not the one taking the brutality.. that went waaay overboard. He was so gone even in one of the rounds where he only got hit a couple of times. Hopefully he and Ruslan heal up well. I hope that Tim's effort won't go overlooked....I know people like underdogs so Ruslan will always get love for his role but man Tim left it all out there.

"A lot of things that happened, I don't even remember."

That's some scary ****.

That's actually normal. I've had 8 AM fights and after every fight I don't remember much of what happened in the ring. In one fight I knocked this guy down and I did not remember what I hit him with lol.

yes standing and trading was idiotic and gave you a possible concussion but it gained respect from me. Still dont think hes an elite fighter but his heart is. Hopefully hes cool now. Baseball and football players always have lingering effects from concussions and who knows when he got it and how many times he got hit in the head after. Seems like a good guy so hope for the best

He knows why he did it. He just doesn't want to deal with the criticism, which I can understand.

Anyone that doubted Bradley's heart and dedication should've taken note. He doesn't need to do it again.

Let's see if he starts to speak like James Toney in his next interview, then we know for sure..

He was trying to make up for the Pacauiao fight that's why he did it.

It is nothing wrong with it though, Bradley was landing some excellent combos at times but you have to know when to pull back, he would pull back to late and Prov would catch him, usually bring moves that big head around a lot more and duck underneath a lot of punches but for this fight his reflexes look kinda OFF

But standing in there will likely get him another big payday so doing that probably was worth it

There is when you have fluffy fists like Bradley.

You've heard of "suicide by cop", some no-hoper stands up to the police, begging them to take him out and eliminate the pain of his life. I thought, at first, Bradley was trying to commit "suicide by Ruslan." He's felt all the emotional pain of being the "winner" of the fight with Pacquiao but the loser in the aftermath and experiencing so much depression.

So I thought he was standing there trying to get knocked out, and say goodbye cruel world. But his internal competitor wouldn't let him go out like that. That was definitely one of the most exciting fights I have ever seen. Floyd's fight won't be half as good and cost $70.00 more, I'm not buying it. Go Tim, you have definitely gained a lot of respect from me and a lot of others.
