Do you know why fighters do that? It's because they get bad advice.
Before, Bradley wanted respect. He considered suicide when he didn't get respect for beating Manny and got threats from casuals.
Fighting the way Diaz was telling him to fight would not have won him the Provod fight, and he knew that. So he went to war.
He had a good chance of losing against Marquez when he almost did the same.
All Diaz would do every fight is threaten to stop fights instead of trusting his fighter's instinct in the ring. That's demoralizing.
Atlas is 100% motivating. As a fighter that's what Bradley needs. Someone to motivate him, not threaten him. When he's motivated, he fights smart. When he's demoralized, he fights ******.
Bradley won 4 rounds from that second fight against Manny and didn't start losing until he changed strategy. Again. His injury was caused by his clumsiness and being put in the wrong position to evade Manny's shots.
All Atlas has to do is ensure Bradley's on the right foot, at the right distance, with the right strategy as taught by Floyd Mayweather, and Bradley's got a very good chance at winning clean this time.
