Did Bradleys Fight Help You Like Him More

[Rome-By-Ko]

Nah, Bradley admitted Provodnikov was forcing him to fight by closing the gap. He was honest. Don't let any of these fighters fool you into thinking otherwise when they claim they "fought ******" or other excuses.

Prov was able to close the gap on Bradley,only after Bradley fought ****** in the first rd..Bradley said the right thing,but anyone who has seen Bradley fight before should know he also fought dumb..Bradley could have made things easier on himself with smarter tactic,but once hurt he was in a dog fight he could not get outta of..

[Rome-By-Ko]

Bradley had a lot of things going against him heading into this fight, I feel he has vindicated those demons and is ready to move on. He really only lost 4 rounds tops and was hurt because of the weight he had to lose.

With no weight issues during training and a focusd mind, he would certainly nearly whitewash in a rematch. Ruslan is a very good boxer but Tim slept on him and made the fight much, much harder than it had to be.

I agree with this..But tbh I want Marquez for Bradley next,that fight makes to much sense not to happen imo..

Still don't get how having his brains scrabbled made him more likeable, he has already shown plenty of heart in his fights so I never doubted that about him, all you have to do is watch his fights with Witter, Holt etc... It was his arrogance after 'beating' Pac that turn people off him, he seems to think he was now Pac because of that fight (Market value was still the same), instead of keeping himself active he was turning fights down thinking he should be getting Pac type money etc but am glad he has now being humble and brought back down to planet earth.

I like his heart.

However, no, the decision done nothing to help. I feel he has lost his last 2 fights and been handed the decision...I don't like that.

How do you figure he thought he was Pac or should be getting Pac kinda money??I have not seen anything to suggest this,he fought Prov for less then he could have made to fight Peterson..To not cheat the fans..So I really don't get how he thought he was some big shot(money/market wise)..

I do believe he felt he won the Pac fight(with good reason the fight was close)there was nothing wrong with him being vocal about this..Esp because Pac did not fight a rematch against Bradley..

What fights did Bradley turn down??Gamboa(Guerrero was not a realistic fight tbh)Peterson??They could not come to terms,no harm no foul imo..Bradley just did 1.4 mill views on HBO..To think Bradley is in the same place he was before the Pac fight is ridicules..Bradley may not be the star Pac is,which I don't believe anybody felt he would be..But his name is more known,and he does bring a level of legitimacy to any fight he'd be in..

He turn down the Pederson fight that we know of, he thought beating Pac makes him Pac.. Well nope and what happen in the end? He had to eat humble pie and got his brains shaken for a lot less against a fighter coming up from 140 with limited abilities.

I already liked bradley never got the hate people gave him, even before the pacquaio scandal people were hating on dude. He a good fighter and I always enjoyed his fight.

people are just haters, like he's the one who paid the judges or what not, and like if he was supposed to say, Yeah I lost the fight LMFAO GTFOH with that shit.

Basically said everything I was going to say. good post!

He turned down more money to not fight a fighter he already beat in clear fashion..Oh and btw would be coming up from 140lb..You've not proved that Bradley thought he was PAC...

I think he are humble pie for underestimating Prov tho..

[BoxingFollower]

I actually use to like him, but all he did is expose some MAJOR flaws in himself now.

He will probably lose before the next few years, more than likely by KO.

He turned down Pederson thinking he would get a big name fighter with more money, thing to prove there it's blatant and had to eat humble pie in the end by settling for less money against a lesser known fighter who end up shaking his brains. No point in arguing my point it's right there in front of anyone with brains, beating Pac doesn't not make you Pac.
