Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley: Matthysse Sparring Helped Me Mentally

[RawDawgHasSpokn]

its hard to not like Bradley, even if he's not the most stylistically gifted boxer out there. He comes to fight.

[NearHypnos]

marquez does'nt hit no where near harder than mathysse,but he's a very good counter puncher. all bradley has to do is box and he should win this fight. jmm is a future hall of famer but its time to call it a career. if he defeats or lose to bradley. i really hope he retires for his health and families sake.

Marquez has some amazing combinations that shouldn't be overlooked. Especially since he throws them with authority and can throw a vicious right as well as a deceitfully long left hook (most guys always think they're safe going back and JMM throws a looping left hook that catches guys goin back)


Bradley can box but Marquez has great timing and Bradley might not hit hard enough to keep Marquez from throwing with him too ala Prov/most people who have hurt Bradley. Marquez shouldnt have the legs to chase Bradley aroud if he tries pot shotting all night but Bradley is a warrior if he gets hit he might not retreat and if he lets Marquez get into any sort of rhythm it could turn into a nightmare situation... Marquez is one of the last guys in all of boxing you want to let get into any sort of rhythm...not with his gifted combination punching in tandem with his decent pop, timing, and heart.

you know youre in trouble when youre a titleist and you are proud of yourself

for not getting knocked out in sparring with 16-20 oz gloves and head gear...


wow

Yeah Prov beat him from pillar to post, cracked his chin only for Timmy to be saved by the bell..............

I dont see how people try to spin into a win for Bradley, when they should have been concerned if Prov ruined him

[WarMaidana]

i started to like bradley after the prov fight, and i continue to be a fan of his, dude is a warrior. Good to see two warriors come and work together.

Stylistically both guys are a lot diff. than their respective opponents but at least it will give each other some hard, intense and grueling sparring to prepare them for tough fights ahead

bradleys a warrior he didnt get ruined, he may just fight more cautiously now

Good work for Bradley but, LM sparring Bradley doesnt help Lucas one bit, Bradley is a come forward in fighting brawler first that cant crack a egg, and Garcia is a highly advanced counter puncher with deceptive speed, who could end a fight at any time with either hand. Truthfully LM has never faced one puncher as a pro, he may be in for a rude awakening come fight night........

Cotto would have been a better choice for Matthysse.....

[Rapid8Fire]

I gotta admit with all that hype surrounding Matthysse you would think absolutely no one could survive against him. After hearing this Bradley you just got another fan. Lucas isn't that powerful when you're not scared of what he can do. Danny will be the next fighter to prove that

Stopped reading there.

In Garcia's case its called timing not speed.

LMAO, what happened to "dudes get KO'd in sparring all the time?" I can't tell you how many times I've seen that statement when reports come out regarding a top guy getting dropped in sparring.

Bradley said Matthysse has big power and he wasn't even fazed or rocked by him. This coming less than 8 months after many people were sure Tim was done..."he has brain damage", "he is ruined".........yeah, keep wishing dudes.

Tim is gonna beat Marquez and step all over these other guys on his way to the top of the P4P lists.

Maybe you missed all the rounds where Tim boxed Ruslan up like a Christmas gift, beating his face to a pulp with 5 punch combinations to the point where roach was going to stop the fight?
