Did you guise gain respect for bradley or still the same?

[KaL-EL]

Always had my respect but it increased after the fight. After the fight the reporters wanted to ask him about his calf injury and he said he doesnt wanna talk about it because he didnt want to take anything away from Manny's victory

[Larry the boss]

Why would there be a third fight if the numbers declined?

There will 100 percent be a 3rd fight...Top rank has no one else period....

[Tarl of Bristol]

His behavior after the fight helped, but I lost respect. He talked all that insecure garbage leading up to the fight, and then had a meltdown in the ring.

I think the pre fight talk was just to pump himself up because he may have had some doubts after that first fight.

I like Timothy Bradley, its not his fault the judges gifted him the first fight. The guy comes to fight and he is an overall good person, you have to respect that.

Bradley's biggest problem is he has too much heart. When he get's tagged his natural instinct is to get reckless and trade. This almost cost him in the Ruslan fight but Ruslan didn't have the experience to capitalize on Bradley's mistakes.

Pac made Tim pay last night and showed (2nd time) again that the two are in two different leagues when it comes to who is the better fighter.

[Tarl of Bristol]

It did kind of feel like he was just happy he got the pay day during the post fight. OR, he was glad that the right guy won this time, so he can get that robbery off his back.

I bet a huge weight is lifted off his back now.

I think there is a big relief on Timothy Bradley for all the pressure to be off. Now there is no hate and death threats, etc.......etc........ in regard to the first fight. It's not his fault the judges from the first fight are idiots, Timothy didn't write the scorecards.

If Timothy Bradley goes out there after the first fight and says "yeah the judges robbed Manny and gave me the decision" or words to that effect he basically screws himself out of millions of dollars in the rematch. Also a fighters view and perception of the fight they're actually in is much different than the view and perception of other people watching it.

I thought he lost the first fight but I also think Timothy Bradley gave a good showing of himself in the first fight against Manny Pacquiao. I think he also gave a good showing last night although I didn't think this fight was as close as the first one.

Timothy Bradley neeeds to curtailt hat recklessness because if he gets in to a few more wars like he did against Ruslan Provodnikov, he will be slurring his speech for the rest of his life. He seems like a good guy and i wouldn't want to see that happen to him.

[bojangles1987]

Yes and no. I admired his guts. Frowned on his emotional approach. Bradley showed his characteristic balls but he also showed his characteristic foolishness. Instead of fighting a more calculated tactical fight he let his fear of Pacquiao get the better of him and he fought on adrenaline. This enabled him to show well and do things that would shock and impress the audience but it would also leave him vulnerable less than halfway into the contest. Once that adrenaline wore off he was finished. Pacquiao had him beat before he ever stepped in the ring IMO.

Sure looks that way. Bradley's talk was so uncharacteristic, and then he completely fell apart during the fight. He was trying to convince himself he was good enough, that he won that first fight and could do it again.

[stuff jones]

Not after all his clowning in the ring.

[sugarsmosley]

I think bradleys clowning is being bashed a bit too much, when he was doing it sometimes it was effective, and was able to hit manny with counters

[Hyper Knuckles]

Gutsy performance from Tim, he literally tried to KO Manny. His footwork and head movement were a sight to behold. Nothing but respect from me.. he is an A-Class fighter. Manny and Floyd are just anomalies, the S-Class guys.
