Comments Thread For: Bernstein: Atlas No Better Than Diaz, Bradley Looked The Same

[Combat Talk Radio]

All Diaz did was curse his blasted head off at Bradley.

And threaten to stop the fights. That's NOT a motivational trainer. Atlas is all about "we" this and "we" that. It was the two of them, not just a guy screaming and cussing at their fighter.

Let's see what Diaz can do for Ortiz. If Ortiz still quits you know Diaz was no good.

Having said all that, I don't think Bradley will have quite enough to beat Pac. It will be a good spirited fight though. A lot more action packed than Floydie's final 'fight'.

Let's be fair. MayPac was dull because Pacquiao didn't show up. Evidenced by Mayweather/Berto where Berto brought the fight and it was actually more entertaining than people give it credit for. Berto was outclassed, but he was trying.

That version of Rios Bradley doesnt beat IMO.

Thing is, that version of Rios will show up against fighters that won't fight back. We didn't see that Rios against Manny, either. We saw it against Alvarado recently, but Alvarado was a punching bag.

If Rios faces Victor Ortiz we won't see that Rios, either. Especially not the Ortiz that showed up against Maidana.

That version of Rios shows up when he is motiviated, that version of Rios was against Pacquaio but they had a totaling different gameplan one that Rios have never fought in before, people forget the first 3 rounds where Rios was giving Pacquaio the business and pushing him back.

and LMFAO any version of Rios will stop Ortiz.

while i agree that bradley faced a ****ty version of rios, bum bum rios has always been a bum and no version of rios beats bradley......not even the bradley that fought provodnokov loses to the version of rios that fought alvarado.

cant take you serious calling a former world champion a bum. Rios beats Bradley, Bradley fought a deadman walking and it took him 8 rounds to get to him, a healthy rios he wouldent even register on rios radar.

Ok Bernstein is my fav commentator, that doesn't seem like the usual level headed quote there.

anyway, there was an article here on BS like two weeks ago where Diaz (grudgingly) says himself that Bradley was different in that he was "moving more side-to-side." He didn't specify more than that but I'm guessing he was alluding to some of the action ShoulderRoll describes where he was stepping around Rios in order to keep the body work more continuous.

Rios looked dead the day before so there is that, but i'm just looking at how Bradley was moving. I thought there was a better flow and he didn't really flail that I can remember. I don't care much for the trilogy but it wouldn't change my opinion on that. Made me more interested in Bradley-Cotto than anything else

I agree. The notion that Atlas changed Bradley in such a short space of time is a bit ridiculous. And basing it on the Rios fight is even worse.

we fite da flames!!!!!

Lets be real, bradley has a great resume with diaz in his corner.


We need to see more than a fight against rios.

Let's be clear Atlas is going to correct the things that Bradley does that doesn't help him.
The kid has fast hands and good footwork. Use it!! Diaz just wanted him to outbox and stay on his toes and ambush when he felt he could.
Atlas is having Tim sit on his punches more and throw more meaningful quicker combos and devise a sound gameplan.
The Rios stoppage was impressive but not that impressive when you consider the condition he was in mentally and physically.
The Rios that fought Alvarado in the 3rd fight vs the Bradley against Provodnikov would've been a all time classic. Two guys with iron beards and warriors when it comes to maņo e maņo.
