    Really Impressed with Bradley's Upper Body Movement

    After watching Pacquiao Bradley 2 again, I was really impressed how good bradley's upper body movement is. Even thought Pacquiao is fast and won the fight, Bradley made him miss alot of shots. To dodge most of Pacs fast punches for 12 rounds, for me, is really impressive.

    Aside from Pac and Floyd, I don't think anyone in 147 or 140 beats him.

    Yes he's underrated

    Foot movement is rapid too

    Overall very hard fighter to beat

    And if Chavez tries dirty ****, Bradley will headbutt him and a riot will break out

      he didn't dodge that much, he had his moments though, like the end of the 5th

      after that round i think it was, pacquiao starting landing alot as tim tired from all the crazy movement

      he was "too" amped up

        This is why I think people are underestimating Marquez, I understand he lost to Bradley but no one else possesses that kind of upper body movement besides Mayweather. Kell Brook is too stiff up top.

          Yup. Bradley can do it all, I agree aside from Floyd and Manny (obviously) I don't think anyone at WW beats him.


          But on a side note; do you guys think Bradley over trains?

            Bradley is underrated as **** around here. IDC what anyone says he beat Provo and his only fights he lost were against Pacquiao. If Bradley was a **** fighter like a lot of people around here suggest Pac would have destroyed him.

              I actually think he moves his.upper body too much.

              Uses a lot of energy.

              Better than no movement though obviously

                Bradley's problem is he finds what works and goes away from it. Other versatile guys like Hopkins will find what works and take advantage of it the rest of the fight. Bradley will find what works and then decide to straight up trade with guys or do his best sweet pea impression instead.

                  As Larry Merchant said the upper body movement he was doing was simply to avoid punches. So its not really that impressive. If you're not using that upper body movement to counter its pretty much pointless and u end up wasting a lot of energy.

                    Pac, Algieri and Prov are the only 3 clean fighters that can beat him at 147

                    He beats Floyd easily so I don't get why people bring him up
