    Expecting a competitive fight this go around, regardless who's training Tim.
    Same fight I saw. Some will say otherwise but the change in Bradley's approach was so drastic, it's hard to argue.

        She & Jinkee should go toe to toe!
        These chicks bout 11, 12 weight divisions apart brother. Maybe we can co headline them at best. Jinkee vs Jin & Monica vs Luis Ortiz's wife.

        Bradley will beat him this time, not because of Atlas.
        While I don't think Bradley wins this fight, I definitely think he's in many ways been unlucky in his career with with his public perception & rep & if he does win he's gonna get that W hijacked by most media people & fans who'll suggest its all Atlas. This cat isn't gonna be appreciated til he's retired for sure.

        And while I think there could be some basis in logic in giving Atlas his just due (since Bradley has taken 2 L's, one unofficially of course) I also think the Rios win is being highly overrated as an Atlas produced outcome when Rios wasn't on Bradley's level ever & its possible Manny just isn't the Manny of old come fight night vs a high level opponent like Bradley. So if Manny comes into Apr. 9 with a broken kickstand for a leg like Sergio Martinez did vs Miguel Cotto or something along those lines I think there would be much less reason to suggest anything Atlas did helped the cause, but the spin will be Atlas won Bradley the fight.

            She has gotten Bradley 3 PPV fights and numerous multi-million dollar paydays. Your wife/girl been able to do that for you?

              Bradley admitted that after he hurt his leg, he knew that if he went the distance in survival mode and didn't score a KO, he'd lose so he went for the KO instead.

              I thought he was whooping Pac up in the first few but his mobility was shot. Under Atlas with renewed confidence and motivation, I think he will fair VERY WELL this time around. Just like JMM got better against Pac in each bout, I see the same thing happening here.

                I was complimenting him. She is sharp! Bradley is a good guy, out or in the ring. Atlas completes the transformation.
