[calemanregreso]

Manny v Bradley (cherrypick gone wrong)

bradley a cherrypick? WHAT?

[QballLobo]

The first Ortiz vs Berto fight.
Ortiz was damaged goods and thought to be a stepping stone to set up a Berto/Floyd fight.
Ortiz came out on fire and dropped Berto early then it was a great back and forth fight with Ortiz getting the decision.

[Roadblock]

bradley a cherrypick? WHAT?

Not a cherry but there were reasons,

Tims first fight at 147.

Tims best win was a a nearly done Casamayor a LW.

Tim was really a B+ A- level guy and a small one.

[Ritz Kola]

bradley a cherrypick? WHAT?

Yes. A cherrypick. What else would a 140lb feather fisted fighter be who had never fought at Welter before and wasn't the best at the 140 division before moving up to fight Manny be considered as?

The odds were 5-1 in favor of Manny.
Just because Manny struggled and loss to him doesn't mean Tim wasn't a cherrypick. It means Manny isn't an unbeatable fighter that he's marketed to be and mistakenly taken for..

[SilverMiles]

Manny wasn’t Bradley’s first fight at 147lbs.
