Comments Thread For: Joel Diaz: The Door is Completely Shut For Tim Bradley!

[Box-Office]

Joel diaz reminds me of Evangelista Cotto. They got full of **** after their fighter reached succes and started believing their own hype. Both are limited trainers that reached the top because of their fighters.

You can say the same about Roach. How many kids has he taken from scratch, 0 amateur bouts and built in to World Champions?

Very unprofessional.

He left it opened ended in person, and he called BLOCKING HIS NUMBER so Diaz wont pick it up (He didn't call diaz from his regular way, he wanted diaz not to pick up) then now he is blasting Diaz. Unprofessional.

Oh ok, I get it now. It really didn't read like that in the article.

I guess that was shady but like somebody else said, we really don't know what happened between them and can't really say whether it was with merit or not.

Apparently Bradley feels like the change was good for him so it really doesn't matter now.

There's been a lot of talking between the two. Bradley makes it seem as though he learned nothing from Diaz which is a dig. Probably because Diaz is really outspoken about what happened he feels betrayed. Seemed like Bradley wanted to part ways and not get into a war of words with Diaz. So he has just dropped subtle shots at Diaz. Whereas Diaz is being very specific about what happened.

He needs Memo helping him with strength & conditioning to really get the edge.

No matter what Bradley's reasons were for the split and none of you really know, he did go about it the right way. First he saw him in person and talked about it and left it with saying that he would get back to Joel with a decision soon. Well then he did get back to him and Joel didn't answer the call. Bradley did his part in being professional. Joel is just playing sour g****s over losing a big named fighter.

Very unprofessional.

He left it opened ended in person, and he called BLOCKING HIS NUMBER so Diaz wont pick it up (He didn't call diaz from his regular way, he wanted diaz not to pick up) then now he is blasting Diaz. Unprofessional.

Why worry about Bradley his career is coming to an end. If he was in his prime and fired you than be but hurt but if he's on the verge of becoming wash up why worry

[Eff Pandas]

Now Diaz sounding like a ex-gf just like Bradley. "He ain't getting this ***** again". These two both just need to let it go at this point & stfu about each other. Getting embarrassing.

I feel for Diaz, but if the fighter's camp is contentious he has to make changes, if for no other reason than to stay focused. When you get to the point in your career Bradley's at, your coach is just your cheerleader anyway, he's taught you what he knows for years so it's second nature. It isn't like Bradley's going to forget what he learned.

From a loyalty point of view it's a ****ty thing to do but boxing is expansive and a fighter has to consider what's really in their long term best interests....

How can anyone outside of Bradley and Diaz know exactly what happened? Like most conflicts both sides have their version of what happened and the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

Hard to imagine Bradley's wife having input on who trains hims, etc. Bradley and his dad seem pretty close, I'd think he would have more influence than his wife in that area.

People are acting like she's Jin Mosley or something, but you can tell Mosley was a money grubbing hoochie from a mile away. Monica took over his boxing management duties and has gotten his ass paid, who is going to look out more for the family's best interest, her or some rando manager?

Not sure what happened between Diaz and Bradley but Bradley himself is the one speaking out saying that he needed a change, his wife isn't the one making public statements. If his wife was calling the shots like that then Bradley would be saying my manager thought this was the right move, instead he cited some examples of why it didn't work out.

Either way, I can't wait for him to school Rios in November.
