Bradley: "I injured my feet In the first fight because I wasn't wearing socks"

Doesn't Bradley stick to strictly wearing nike products?
I guess that means the infamous nike socks will be worn on April 12.

What a bs excuse. Bradley got 5 million for that fight so he could easily afford the best socks money could buy. Why did he chose not to wear socks? If not having socks on was troubling him he could have had socks brought to him in a few minutes or he could have borrowed socks from any member of his team. Socks are not some rare, hard to get, item. Bradley has always made an excuse of his feet being badly injured from the start of the fight and his footwork looked as good as ever. I never saw him limp even once during the fight.

When was he supposed to put them on? There's only a minute between rounds. Should he have asked the ref for time out to put on socks?

Merchant asked Pacquiao if he believed not using his favorite gloves had an effect on the fight, and he answered yes. It looked like a head butt did in fact impact Pacquiao's right eye. It didn't sound like a wealth of excuses to me. Your comments on Morales being drained to make weight for the rematch, and team Pacquiao taking advantage does seem like excuses though. Morales didn't have to take the rematch if he thought making weight would drain him. When Manny was interviewed about being KO'd by Marquez, he didn't make excuses then either. He just said he went after him, got careless and got caught with a good shot.

He was getting lit up? i guess Manny must have been feather fisted in that fight then cause Bradley had no facial damage worth mentioning

Facial damage like scars or abrasions are less noticeable on guys with a dark skin tone. If you do a quick search on the post fight pics you can clearly see the lumps and bruises on his face.

So not only does he not shower the week before a fight but he doesn't wear socks? I would not want to be in the same room as him when he took his shoes off after the Pacquiao fight..

Kinda funny though, especially with all of the Floyd fans constantly riding Pacquiao for his "socks" excuse but they'll say nothing about this.

If this is really true and Bradley was not wearing socks........lol. I hate to admit it, but it probably saved him from getting knocked out. Just think how this fight would have ended if Bradley wasn't wearing iceskates. He would have had more exchanges with Pacquiao and that could have led to a UD for Pac or a stoppage. Have you guys ever seen a dog running on a tile floor? That's what Bradley looked like. Socks or no socks he hurt his ankles trying to avoid Manny like a swarm of bees was after him.

lol thats exactly what this reminded me about, when Morales beat the dog shit out of Pacquaio.
