Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley Discusses Strategy To Defeat Miguel Cotto

[mathed]

worst shape he was ever in??? the man got beaten from pillar to post out on his feet for 4 rounds may have gotten brain damage from it and threw 5000 punches during it. how the hell was he in bad shape?? I say he was on something to perform like that

You ever tried to lose 20 pounds in about two weeks time? He had to drain down and he suffered because of it. Had he properly lost the weight for that fight, he would not have even lost a single round. HE has tremendous heart but when he normally rehydrates from 147 to like 152 on fight night and then he rehydrates to 160 in that fight, it shows that he sllacked off. He even says this in the Boxingscene interview below:

I like both fighters alot....smart money on Cotto though

Bradley would school the *** out of Cotto.

I think Tim's movement can give Cotto problems. The question is, how will Tim take Cotto's power? He will get hit eventually.

He took Ruslans power. Cotto beats you up over rounds. Rulan knocks your head lose. Tim took it...Cottos power wont bother him. Tim will box his ears off though.

So who else has been able to beat Pac? Tim lost 20 + pounds in about 2 weeks to make weight for the Provo fight, by far the worst shape he has ever been in during a fight. He still outboxed Provo the majority of the fight. JMM is a HOF boxer who is the only guy that even seem capable of beating PAc and that's after facing him 3 times previous.

Cotto got his title arguably by beating a 40+ year old cripple, so I'm not really sure your argument is all too solid.

Your a funny dude. After Cotto/Martinez fight you were riding Cotto's dlck with respect and aww, but now you hoped on the bandwagon of Sergio being old and crippled because of the haters.

Ruslan 147 power < Cotto 154 power.

Yeah, he walks around at 175 but made a career of fighting at 140. There is a reason he doesn't fight at 160...he'd be fat and slow. This fight should be at 150 to 152 for it to be fair. Otherwise, Bradley will have to bulk up like a mofo to make 155 without being fat.

To make 155? Tim probably rehyrdrates by fight night at around 160 anyways.

Cotto stops Tim, but Tim is a warrior and will go out with a full heart.

ruslan is a 140 fighter. im pretty sure cotto hits harder at 150 +. Also the fact that roach has been able to study bradley before and im pretty sure he will come with a good game plan
