Comments Thread For: Bradley's Calf Injury More Serious Than Initially Thought

[TheFlashKnows]

Another excuse to add to the list... I thought team Bradley wasn't going to make excuses... this mofugga is starting to get annoying. Bradley should be 29-3 with two losses to Pac and one to Provodnikov. We all saw him do the stank leg in round 1 with Ruslan, who didn't get credit for the knockdown. Then he's held up by the ropes in round 2 - no knockdown. 29-3 with a close points victory over old man Marquez! He's 1-3 in his last 4 fights. Time to retire "injury" prone Timmy!!!

Anyone with eyes could see that the whole fight changed during the middle rounds and it wasn't from anything that Manny did. Bradley was showing signs of an injury around the 5th round. That is around the time he started slugging more. His lateral movement and aggression was gone and he resorted to loading up trying to counter Manny. In the process he was dead tired from loading up and missing. His punches got wider and wilder. I've never seen that from him. Manny did what he had to do to win the fight. It shows more of the heart of Bradley to be able to make it through the 12 rounds on his feet against a future hall of famer. The sad thing is, he may never get the opportunity again to fight Manny. Hopefully, resigning with TR has set him financially for life. But TR doesn't have the roster for Tim to really show his greatness. If he had signed with GB, he would of had the fighters at 147 to display his talent on the highest level. Now he is only left with Provodnikov, Rios, and Alvarado.

Funny he didn't suffer those injuries fighting other opponents like Provo and Marquez. Pac is just lucky.

I clicked the article and expecting to see a picture of a doctor's note but it's only according to Diaz

Where's the medical report?

Anyway if what his trainer is saying is true, why does Bradley always get injured when he's fighting Pacquiao? Marquez or Provodnikov didn't give him any leg problems. I think they need to look at their training regimen when preparing for Pacquiao to prevent another injury. It would be regrettable for a boxer with Tim's skills to keep on getting these kinds of injuries.

Bradley doesnt even get passed Rios.

Bradley went full tard loading up and Manny's awkard movement with Bradley's not so good balance, props to Bradley though for fighting on. I guess we'll get Pac vs Brad 3 :S

Scam

After the fight Bradley said he tore his calf in the first round check the tape. Now it is the middle rounds. He punched himself out winging bombs from round one . could he of strained a calf from missing a exhausted bomb in middle rounds yes or from dodging the 10 punch combos he was getting attacked with on the ropes . Manny could have had calf cramps Also but that's why it's a fight you get hurt it's up to you to man up adapt.

Nice source there, the trainer of the fighter who got whooped.

Fraud

last fight Bradley comes to post fight press conference in a wheel chair this fight torn calf muscle. Never a MRI to back it up amazing. In the toughest sport guys always have worst excuses with no proof.

Always funny to read posts by people making statements like they know what they are talking about, when in FACT they have absolutely no idea at all. I know for a FACT Tim hurt himself. Tim doesn't/wouldn't lie about that. He is a freaking warrior with more balls than all of you posers/posters talking out your necks combined.
