Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley: I Really Tried, I Wanted That Knockout!

[SN!PER]

Bradley tried to pull a Marquez. Wasted the fight trying to emulate Marquez's KO when he should've just stayed true to his usual style.

Bradley should fight like Bradley, not anyone else.

In the 24/7, they showed Bradley looking exhausted with the kids. I wonder if Bradley overtrained. He completely gassed out by the middle of the fight. In round 12, Pac was still loose. He looked like he was on the 17th mile of a Marathon.. just cruisin along.

He was injured.

Man, to quote Mugatu, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

He complained after the 5th he was hurt. Diaz was constantly telling him to fight through it, there's no quitters etc. He said it hurt going back. His calf had gone.

Anybody who has pulled a calf knows it destroys your mobility. You could see how Bradley couldn't balance.

Why is nobody on this forum recognizing this? Everybody is just dissing Bradley who was doing well rounds 1-6 (I had it 3-3 after 6).

a guy with 12 KOs is gonna KO pac man huh? come on bradley after 4 or 5 rounds you fought the worst gamplan/fight you could... and u looked tired as hell maybe you overtrained... mybe the calf was really messed up...if you learn to straighten your punches your counters will land more good luck bro

bradley's garbage... you can see from both pac fights he ducked khan because he cant deal with speed.. khan would have beaten him even easier than pac did cos of style match up.. no wonder that guy ran from khan like a b*tch

if hes garbage that would mean me or you could beat him, hes just good not great

Bradley was up going into the 7th round, then for some reason that totally escapes me, he started clowning around -- In a major fight!!! Against Pac-man!!! WTF is wrong with Bradley?!?!?!

I think that was tactical. I think he was either really gassed, or hurt, or messed up, and decided he had to lure Pac in for all or nothing type shot. I didn't like it, but I'll give him a pass on it for that reason.

what fight were you watching? you can't be serious.
is this another dorky kid who didnt watch the fight and just wants to bs.

You should perhaps read his post for context. The way it reads, indicates that it is what he thought would happen, not what actually happened.

That being said, I had Bradley winning the fight. However my opinion has changed, now that the whiskey and adrenaline has subsided. Have Pacquiao winning 8-4 on my second watch; I still feel that it was a close fight, but Pacquiao, ironically, outboxed Bradley.

I feel that Bradley shot himself in the foot. I wouldn't go so far as to say victory would have been certain if he tried boxing Pacquiao ( as he never looked dominant in the rare occasions that he tried), but he robbed himself of any chance of victory by approaching the fight the way that he did.

I re watched the fight no change 8-4 Pacquiao early rounds Bradley was aggressive good body work rounds 6-12 Bradley was fatigued he didn't get his second wind Pacquiao finished strong

Two fights in a row, Pacquiao used his footwork and angles to cause limb problems for Timmeh. No coincidence.

Idiots

Pac dogged Bradley just like the first fight. Bradley lost both fights easily to Pac. He took a beatdown to Provo. He wins on points to a drug free, smaller slower 40 year old counter puncher. So lower your expectations of Bradley. Who is Bradley going to fight next, Paulie Mags who hits softer than Tim himself???
