    is there really benefit for bradley swapping Diaz for atlas?

    I mean what really is teddy gonna do for timmy to improve his chances against manny, what can he show him? I get it teddy's a big talker in the corner and helps motivate. but after rewatching manny bradley 1 and 2, I realized that Diaz was a big factor in getting bradley UP for the rounds....Diaz would get in bradley ass during the fight to catch his 2nd wind and keep on trying. to me the combo of Diaz and bradley father are just as uplifting in the corner as atlas can be...... I'm just expecting a good fight. because these both fighters are warriors and they give good competitive scraps when to go at it .....that said manny wins again..

    Maybe a little bit for Bradley psychologically if he actually does believe Atlas is a better trainer and whatnot.

    That can have some imact I'm sure.

    Whether or not he actually believes that though is anyone's guess.

    I thought DIAZ was great with Bradley as he knew Bradley better than anyone aside from his father... That was another problem doe as his dad would be speaking over DIAZ instructions a lot of times.

    Maybe Atlas can fix that issue and let his dad know it is great for him to work with tin one on one during camp and what have you but on fight night he needs to take a back seat and at most tell Atlas what he sees and feels between rounds rather than shouting during the fight and shouting over Atlas in between rounds

      Rambled a bit but almost certainly there is no benefit at all.

      It is rare when a fighter leaves his life long trainer for a new trainer after a loss or dissaointing performances for that trainer to actually improve the fighter.

        I think if there's improvements it's just all within Bradley. I don't think the trainer would matter much. He changed trainers because he wanted something new, fresh and wanted to reinvent himself, that's a man with a purpose. He might have the extra focus to pull it out this time. Then we can pretend he won the first fight for real and the second could have been a draw.

            there's going to be a slight difference on how bradley approaches this fight. but once the bell ring and he eats a few left, its game on and everything atlas taught him will go out the window.

            the only reason why bradley went with atlas is because bradley needed a stronger voice in his corner but once he realize atlas words is not helping, he's gonna go back to doing him.

            the same **** when he was with diaz. bradley fought great in the early rounds, got tag a few and started going into this rage. diaz tried to talk bradley out of it but wasnt strong enough to do so.

            atlas on the otherhand, this dude be yelling, screaming at times. I think this is what bradley wanted.

              the problem is, timmy doesn't have that much power behind his punches. that's the game changer. manny out works Tim most of the time but Tim counters him with some big shots here and there. if he had real power he could get manny out of there

                IMO no, it had to do more with drama between timmy,his wife,and joel. timmy is ungrateful and so is joel's sister(timmy's wife). diaz loved him like a brother and took him where he is today,now timmy is bashing his ex-trainer. Atlas is only there for moral support and to call him a fire man.

                  this is not true. tim just havent landed that one punch yet. u think manny is this weak dude that be getting dropped left and right?? marquez was the only one to knock manny down and out in over 10+ years, marquez wasnt able to do it in the first 3 meetings and u expect tim to just knock pac's head off?
