Comments Thread For: Roach: Bradley is No Different With Atlas in The Corner

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach is expecting the "the same" Tim Bradley on April 9th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

On that date, Roach's star pupil Manny Pacquiao will face Bradley for a third time. The first time out in 2012, Bradley won a controversial twelve round split decision. Pacquiao got revenge with a twelve round unanimous decision in the 2014 rematch.

We will see even more, but I saw a difference. Not a huge difference but enough were even more time can improve vastly what already has.

If anything, Atlas makes Bradley even dumber lol. Atlas is just a good motivator, someone who puts a fire under you... and when Bradley is on fire, that dwarf goes wild. Still up to this day, the best Bradley I have seen was the one under Diaz vs Marquez. Almost the perfect version of Tim.

I think Bradley will be better this time and I think people will give due credit to Atlas for that improvement. Freddie is just an insufferable, jealous douche bag. I'm going to call an upset decision for Bradley. If Pac was really injured, which I doubt, he won't be fit enough to fight Bradley hard for 12 rds. Even if he's not, Pac is emotionally retired already, so he won't be his sharpest.

What the hell are you doing Roach? Your not selling the fight with this type of statement. Your suppose to say Bradley looks good under Atlas, this is a new Bradley we are facing, Manny is motivated, Manny has his killer instinct back.. Come on Roach... SMFH

I saw a lot of clear improvements in areas that Tim had trouble with. I think Freddy did too but his responses to the media are predictably contrary. Shame because he seems like an alright guy. He just makes a habit of dismissing the strong points an opponent has and ends up looking foolish for it.

Roach is known for dismissing opponents. Lest we forget his notorious "there shouldn't be any excuses, the better fighter will win, Floyd is slowing down, we're ready for him" interview before the Mayweather fight.

Roach HAS to know Bradley has improved some. He's just doing his typical Roach Routine... but as some here have said he'd be smart to push the fight along better. On fight night though, Bradley will show some more improvement, but he will eventually fall into some of Manny's traps, and that will be his undoing. I doubt Pac KOs him, or drops him for that matter. But then he could get adventurous and go for a stoppage. And wouldn't it be funny if he did. Floydie takes extremely easy last fight, doesn't even try to drop Berto. Pac drops Tim and stops him. This forum would light up like a Christmas tree.

Pac stops Tim: "See, Bradley's a bum who didn't deserve to be there."
Tim stops Pac: "Yeah, but Pac's washed up doe, not impressed"
