Comments Thread For: Arum: Bradley's Value Went Up By Choosing To Brawl

[turnedup]

I had bradley beating provo,rounds 1-2 went to provo 3-5 went to bradley for outboxing provo, 6 was debateable,7-11, bradley outboxed, and landed more punches....i mean freddy roach was saying he was gonna stop the fight cause provo was taking to many punches, look at provos face to see...12 i gave it to provo 10-8..so if i give him the 6th round its only 4 rounds with the extra point in the 12, so i had it 115-112, for bradley...so i respectfully disagree with your opiniion....bradley is the type of fighter who just wont get any credit...it is what it is i guess.

I'm very confused by your math because unless you scored rounds 10-9 when there were knock downs I don't know how by your rounds etc you have bradley with a 3 point advantage....even if you gave bradley 8 rounds the knock downs alone would've had bradley down 5 points in two of the twelve rounds combined due to the knock downs.

I agree that's what they were after and it almost worked..almost..the difference here is had Pacquaio gone into this fight fighting the same way he fought Marquez in the fourth fight he would've likely gotten dropped. Bradley was putting everything into those punches bro. He made great adjustments. Hell I like this version of Pacquaio more than I enjoyed the world ender Pacquaio. He's showing he can actually adjust which is something that has been under question regarding him. I like Tim alot, I do think he does a horrible job at trash talking but the guy is a class act with a whole lot of talent and a great future ahead of him the problem is he's fighting a decorated fighter who is actually fighting smarter thus making him even better.

I couldnt agree more, it was a hell of a fight, bradley showed his heart and determination last night and even rocked pac a few times!! They put on a sensational fight that the fans should be happy about..!

lol bob arum is a dumbass

I believe the leg issue, but it's worse than a cramp, or just the calf. Bradley's been wobbled a lot lately and he's laying on the ropes more and more. He can complain about one pain at a time, his ankles, his calf, but it's the wheels. He brawls more now because he can't avoid it.

Agreed...the undercards were Meh...but I did end up liking that Usamee dude that fought beltran lol..dude makes for an interesting fight and I like the vazquez kid too but could've lived without them. The main event was intense, it's what main events are all about..intense back and forth action.

Though you think the knockdowns were kd's in the early rounds its up to the ref to score it that way before you mark it down 10-8,10-7 ect.. on your card....the ref said it was a slip my job at home scoring is to score it 10-9 for provo, rather then 10-8...

Somebody needs to take this old crippled dawg out back and shoot him

Oh i'm not referring to the slip bro, I didn't count the slip. I do think one of those rounds was a definite 10-7 round it was a completely dominate round that included a knockdown, one guy in survival mode and literally out on his feet. To this day I think the fight could've and would've been stopped by just about any ref, tim showed a lot suriving that and coming back from it but personally I think letting that fight go on took a fk load out of him. I do hope he returns to boxing and setting up his combos because I don't know if he's suited for those heavy exchanges after that fight.

I agree with Arum about Bradley value going up. I thought he was going to box Manny. Use his legs but he stood his ground and fought his hard out and pleased the crowd at the arena and at home watching this fight on PPV with this performance.

Idk i just wish there was a way to watch fights with fans on here, that way i can see wut you're looking at when scoring fights, and you can see wut iam looking at when iam scoring fights, cuz bradley only go knocked down once in the twelfth round...the ref scored everything else slips, and bradley was fighting back when he was hurt which i feel would warrant a 10-9 round....if bradley had not thrown back and just took punishment i would have no problem with a 10-8 round for provo....again i have to score it the way a ref says, iam not gonna give extra points to provo,if the ref doesnt say its a kd, it would be unfair to bradley...
