Why are you posting Roberto Duran gifs?

Agree with bernstein here but the first two quotes made it seem like if he has something against atlas

[////]

his formative years are way behind him different trainers won't change much now

[trainhard_187]

In short what Bernstein is trying to say is "This fight is pointless, don't buy it, its garbage, we don't need a 3rd fight".....

[ButtScratcher^^]

In technique, probably yes, but most important thing is bradley is with a camp which motivates him, which he believes and makes him happy, renewed him mentally and emotionally. I think that's the major change that atlas is bringing. But we'll see in the actual fight if they can develop a better technique for bradley to bring down the aging pacquiao.

[turnedup]

He's better because he has someone good at trash talking and that helps sell the fight. Bradley has never been good at selling a fight via trash talking so that's one less thing he has to do. Generally Bradley is in a new environment with a madman who gets his adrenaline rolling, in the long run it can be good or bad depending on how crazy bradley tries to get in the ring.

That version of Rios Bradley doesnt beat IMO.

[ShoulderRoll]

Was there anything you wouldn't think Bradley could accomplish vs a weaker competition, less versatile guy like Rios? I mean its not like Rios is the most complicated guy to fight. I think you could argue Rios was one of Bradley's easiest, less complicated, predictable foes since maybe Edner Cherry or someone back around that time before Bradley got on the bigger stage.

Granted Rios gots a name so it sounds like it could be a bigger deal than it is, but Rios is arguable the most limited big names in the sport nowadays. You'd expect Bradley to look good vs Rios.

Rios looked horrible in that fight. I won't deny that.

But he has always been known for having a good chin and never being knocked out. The supposedly feather fisted Bradley managed to stop him, he made Rios lose his will to get up and fight on. In my opinion a lot of that had to do with frustration at how Tim was constantly stepping around him then busting him up with shots to the head and body. As I see it that is the Atlas influence.

If Bradley had just been moving in, hitting, then moving back out like he did against Marquez then Rios would have been able to last the distance.

So with Diaz he brawled when shouldn't didn't use ring the same didn't have same d and jab and combos angles discipline and atlas has nothing to do with it? Bernstein bleach your yellow teeth

[Boxing Goat]

No, that's not true at all. If Bradley looked the same, he wouldn't have stopped Rios. Tim looked extremely motivated and besides the revised technique, he sat down on his shots a lot more. No way can one see that fight and Tim's previous fights and think he looked the same while being honest.
Bernstein must have an axe to grind with Teddy is my feeling on it.
