Comments Thread For: Diaz Still Shocked With Bradley Split, Points To His Wife

[niceyboo3]

I was shocked that Bradley wifed up Chris Areola's sister... I mean it looks like Bradley didn't think he was going to ever make it as a star in boxing and just wifed up the first tubby that came along

What is wrong with some people going after a mans family? Probably half of the people attacking her should be thanking Tim. 2 to 3 Saturday nights of freedom from the monsters they wake up to....

A trainer needs to have his fighter's ear, if he doesn't then they should not be working together. There is more then one reason why a fighter stops listening to his corner, not just money, or disloyalty. Something wasn't working anymore with this partnership, and Bradley's wife probably pulled the cord for Bradley, as opposed to her talking him into it.

What wasn't working is this Bradley wants to change his styles to a more brawling style not a boxer-puncher like before. Problem is Bradley doesn't have the power for that style, Diaz knew this and has been trying to tell Bradley to go back to how he use to be before the Provo fight. Tim doesn't want too because he never mentally from the Pac win and he wants people to like him. It's sad really.

According to trainer Joel Diaz, he was "more surprised that anybody else" when two division world champion Timothy Bradley pulled the plug on their very long relationship.

Diaz had trained Bradley since he turned professional in 2004. Along the way Bradley picked up five world titles in two divisions and had several high profile fights including wins over Devon Alexander, Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez.

Probably shouldn't comment on this, considering the facts are not clear.....

But boxers who have a manager for a wife tend to have unusual problems.

Crazy really.

Perhaps " naively amateur " is a better description.

Not into the wife/manager model.

His main motivation seemed to come from the widespread criticism he received following the first Pacquiao fight.

Besides, Tim is right, just listen to the way casual fans talk on this site.

They confuse fan-friendly with good, and that is a massive conflict of interest to any trainer.

I actually believe that some fans rate Provo/Rios/Matthyse ahead of him.

Tim was right, he just didn't need to go full ****** in order to develop a more fan-friendly style.

Sitting in with Provo was not the way to go.

Tim letting his wife take over his career is a joke.

Hahaha too funny

You see, even marrying a vulnerable, single parent, fat divorcee has it's own issues. He's going to get screwed over like how Mosley did with his ex-wife Jinn.

Dudes ain't learn from Mosley.
