Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley Says Teddy Atlas Will Eliminate 'Mortal Sins'

[SUBZER0ED]

They didn't break up cause Joel wasn't helping him, Tim thought he wasn't Joel's main focus also someone was in tims ear most likely his wife

Bradley wants to be the center of attention when it comes to his trainer, and didn't feel like he was with Diaz. Sounds like some feminine shit to me, but hey, the change may do him good.

Teddy Atlas is definitely over rated as a trainer and horrible as a sportscaster. Bradley made a serious mistake by abandoning someone who made him successful.

Terrible decision after terrible decision. Out of all the trainers out there, Teddy Atlas? Was he the only one will to work with Bradley? Or did his wife pick him too?

[SplitSecond]

He has a real chance of losing the Rios fight with whatever trainer he has. Hopefully it doesn't become the usual blame the trainer scenario, but having just changed how could you not think it?

He will have to be disciplined and maybe the trainer change will help him fortify his objectives and fight as intelligently as he possibly can.

I don't understand why he needs a change of trainer to get out of his bad habits. Joel Diaz was constantly screaming at him in the corner, in many fights, to "stay smart" and "not get fuckin' ******". Sounded like he was doing his job.

If there's any mortal sins to be made, it's Bradley's own doing and not that of his trainer. He himself is the one responsible for getting into these slugfests - why would hearing a different voice, namely Atlas, change that bad habit?

I agree, good post..... that made no sense.

Unless Atlas is referring to other technical issues.

Wow so many ATLAS haters I think it could be interesting look at what roach did for cotto

It sounds like Diaz wasn't helping him work on certain things and he made the change to better himself. Either way, Atlas is going to tell him where he is messing up while a guy that you have been with for a while, who maybe got to the point where he knew he'd make that money as long as he never pissed Bradley off, maybe became more of a yes man to make things easier. I'm sure if that did happen that Bradley never complained about it to him because it made him feel like he was bigtime but in the long run, it allowed him to make mistakes that were never addressed.

Bradley realizes he has been taking too much damage and that his trainer maybe never addressed certain issues so he says well he should have worked on those with me but he didn't. When, in reality, he let it get that way and probably knows it inside but it ended up being one of those unspoken things where there is an elephant in the room that no one wants to look at or talk about.

The delusion is real do you not hear Diaz between rounds? Bradley fights like an idiot on his own accord

I get tims your boy but now going on Diaz and saying he was in it for the money? Get real

Boxers are always using trainers as their excuse

I'm pumped to see Atlas back in the limelight he knows this could be fleeting so expect something memorable.
