Comments Thread For: Bradley Says Weight Loss Hurt Ability To Take a Punch

[KickAzz]

Bradley is so ******, why not just attribute the close fight to a long lay off? no need to even talk about the weight. the more elaborate the excuse the more it seems like an excuse

[Gypsy John Fury]

Yeah, my guess was that he was around 15 pounds heavy when those photos came out about 2 weeks before the fight. That's what I said too, the weight loss in such a short amount of time was no bueno, he'll be fine from here on out though.

You're always on the money when it comes to weights mate.

Probably the leg injury made him put a lot of weight on.

Probably more the depression and bad taste in his mouth with boxing after his biggest win was taken away from him , in the Ruslan fight you could easily see how bulked Bradley was .

[PunchyPotorff]

He does need to stop being a whiner like Khan seems to love to do. But really, in an interview, I think the guy just doesn't have a clue of how to make an interview go. Some boxers are like that. The rule in any biz is to not say too much. Now, he's opened the door for more criticism when he gets seriously decked and probably KOd his next fight. That huge dome was clocked a bunch of times by Ruslan. A s#$%load. That WILL effect him FNO.

Has Bradley been hanging around with amir khan???

All you hear is excuses an he must of taught him that chicken dance

Good read..Bradley has to stay focus now,I know it was most likely rough after the Pac fight..But he needs to just look at things for what they are..He won the fight..Damn what people say,stay focus on ya career..That last fight Timmy's mentality was all wrong..Not saying that the weight did not play a part,but the his biggest mistake imo was his mentality in that fight...

I liked the interview. I wouldn't consider anything he said to be an (excuse). It's funny to me how hating the guy could magically make everything he says an excuse. He basically told us he wanted to go in there and ko the guy, but instead he ended up almost getting bopped. But losing almost 40lb's after a career long layoff could definitely have a negative effect on any elite athlete.

That's probably the most truthful criticism of him and why he's getting hated on so hard... The dude is too honest and open! Someone needs to teach him how to keep it simple when answering questions. I like him for that though, others... not so much.

I can buy Bradley's theory. Look at what happened to Roy Jones Jr. in his rematch with Tarver. He dropped down 2 weight classes and was never the same. He had a legit chin before that. After the drop, he got put to sleep for the first time ever. Now take Bradley. He went 12 with Pacquiao who is a heavy hitter and he handled his punches well. I'm seriously worried for Bradley though. He took a beating in that fight and I'm sure there is some serious brain damage. Hope he can bounce back but I don't think he'll ever be the same.

Bradley ALWAYS Has An Excuse; "I Guess He Showed Me Who's Boss"...Ya Think!

Bradley saying he thought he would show Prov who the boss was, and Prov ended up showing him who the boss is. SERIOUSLY, who won this fight?!!? I keep sayin Prov got screwed! Bradley whined about being dizzy, had a concussion, had amnesia, hoe chose to take a knee in the last round as opposed to getting stopped, he said....now admissions he sought to show Prov who the boss was, and Prov showed him HE was the boss. This is what happens, when the "FIX" is in, you give a guy a title/belt, who is nothing more than a Top 10 or Top 12 contender. Pacquiao drummed him. Prov nearly killed him... and YET, Bradley is still recognized as the Champion. But when you read all Bradley's statements, he clearly sounds like the loser.... this guy is gonna get stopped in very convincing fashion in probably his very next trip to the ring. Marquez, and everyone else are foaming at the mouth to get Bradley in the ring.
