Did Bradleys Fight Help You Like Him More

[Hougigo]

No,and if he keeps fighting ****** he's going to lose a fan in me..I don't tune in to watch him get his brains beat in..I'm all for showing guts when you have to..But Bradley fought a fight he did not have to fight,and took punishment he did not have to take..

I've always been a big Bradley fan,but I like him because he is a thinking mans fighter,as well as tough as hell..

I don't think we'll see him fight that ****** again.
I'm concerned and hope he's alright, but I'll be a fan in the end. So long as he isn't a dumb ass who acts like an ass and eats stripper coochie like it's ice cream, I'm good

I have always been a dislike of Bradley. For whatever reason, his careers, things he said, etc just turned me off.

I don't know why, but after that fight, even though he fought ******, made me gain respect for him.

Nahh,I like Bradley. All he does is win. Fans will come around on Tim especailly if goes to WAR more.

[MindBat]

Big head, big heart. Bradley's the real deal.

Never dislike him just that he needs to get his head out of his as* a bit more, beating Pacquiao doesn't make you Pacquiao.

Yes. The ironic thing is, a lot of people on this site were crying about him getting hated on post-fight. But when has he ever gotten this much love before?

I've always liked him but never passionately, and I've rooted against him before in fights - for Ruslan because it just made for a more dramatic fight. Same thing for the Holt fight. Pacquaio cos I'm a huge Manny fan. Peterson cos I really like Lamont.

He just never engineered passion in me.

But man, his performance against Ruslan - dumb as f-ck, but what courage. At a certain point during the fight, I realised he's cut from the same cloth as JMM - you can hurt him but you ain't putting this guy away.

You can't help but think that he had to take massive punishment and come through it all before people finally started to love him. Is it worth it? I don't know. It doesn't really seem fair and a good trade-off, as fans are so fickle. But it's only in a fight like that that you see that something special in a fighter, the kind of performance that stays with you weeks after. Even now, I think about that fight.

And man, that wonderful quote and gif combo in Hougigo's sig is just a great, great advert for Tim.

You guys know I've been one of the biggest (and one of only a few) die-hard Bradley nuthuggers on here but I always knew he had tremendous heart, that's not why I was a big fan. I respected his ability to adapt and outbox people.

I didn't like the way he fought even though he displayed massive courage. It's like I respect that he did what he did and what he proved, now it's time to go back to fighting smart and not slacking off between fights.

[garfios]

He made a fan out of me...

[-PBP-]

I learned nothing new about Timothy Bradley from his most recent fight.

I always knew his biggest assets were his heart, will and determination.

[PAC-BOY]

speaking as someone who cant stand him...Yes! He displayed a warrior mentality that was something ATGs were made of.
On the other hand. If in his next fight he runs around the ring and looks boring again then...No!
