Official Timothy Bradley vs Jessie Vargas fight discussion thread

[Rope_Burns]

Good fight. Bradley kicked Vargas' ass. Had it 118-100 TB. Vargas landed a nice shot and Pat Russell had a major **** up in the 12th but TB was still there and would have survived the last 7 seconds.

**** it, I want to see Pacquiao-Bradley 3.

Tim Bradley proves once again that he's one of the most overrated and lucky boxers in recent history.

Hahahahaha

pat russell had money on distance, lol

Hahahahaha

Why would I be "salty"? Like I thought Vargas was going to win and I'm hurt about it?

Vargas is ***ing terrible yet he had Bradley stumbling round the ring, ready to go and the referee jumps in to stop the fight. That isn't luck?

And once again, Bradley fails to impress even when its basically a showcase fight. The guy is so average yet people rate him in the upper echelons of the P4P ratings. That's not overrated?

I really thought Bradley would put on a complete domination and I'd be able to see a little of what you guys see in this guy. But he didn't, he almost gets KOed by a guy with 9 stoppages

lol For the complete, dumpster-diving, garbage lid skying hobo bum people make out Vargas to be, I thought he did good enough.

pretty far from your original prediction doe. vargas won 2 rounds at best, he is still garbage after tonight.

[punchr]

whoevers booing should spend a few rounds with the krusher kovalev bare knuckle

lol____________

If they do a rematch because of the ending, then Russell actually did Bradley a favor because he has few options right now.

So a 10-2, 9-3 fight to you isn't a complete domination?

He got caught with a good shot. kind of like how Maidana had Floyd wobbly legged, it happens, it's boxing. Yeah, it took Vargas a solid 35:50 to land a shot, he was totally going to land another one in the next 7 seconds, especially when Bradley had him in a clinch.

You're the worst, glad to be able to point that out to you

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree - he's overrated at this point. I figured he'd get a UD, but I was thinking he'd really outclass him to the point of a mercy stoppage. I never thought Vargas was good enough to hang at this level. So I'm wondering if Bradley deserves these lofty accolades. I'd have no problem there in the top 11-20 fighters in the world - and that's fantastic enough.

He has leaky defense - at this point, we have enough evidence to support that his defense is just average at best. He has lapses in Ring IQ that get him in trouble. These are beyond minor flaws.

But hey, he's Floyd's new mandatory - so lets go!

Wasn't impressed with Valdez at all. Just another all flash, one punch at a time guy who looks more impressive to the untrained eye simply due to hand speed. No power, jab nor defense, just speedy arm punches.

Bradley beat Vargas with relative ease but did himself no favors by getting sloppy and lazy at times, but it was a good win nonetheless, which he'll continue to be underrated for.
