I'm not surprised after what he took last night. I hope he's okay. The man went up a great deal in my estimation after that fight.
he did not win. with the knockdown that was missed it was an official draw. lets not mention no 10-8 rounds where there was clearly a couple. the fact that he got held up by the ropes multiple times which were uncalled knockdowns and one judge gave him the 11th which is ridic. He fought his heart out, earned everyones respect but he got battered from pillar to post all night.
This is actually a legit argument. The look in Bradley's eyes was real bad late in the fight, and at the end he was looking Meldrick Taylor-ish. They stopped Mikey Garcia's fight a few weeks ago because he had a broken nose. But Tim had a concussion and continued to take a severe beating. And no doctor or ref or corner said a word.
In winning he get much respect but may have lost the war -and worse he may have lost his health.He was severely damaged goods by the end of the fight.His trainer is already damaged goods from his past fights and he ought to have known better.
I wouldn't be surprised if Tim retires after this. That is the kind of fight that ****s you up long term. He's a good guy, hopefully he made some money... but it's better to get KTFO than that... he was hurt bad in early.. then in the middle.. then the end. That's about the worst ****ing thing you can have happen in a fight.
Timmy seemed able to speak clearly without slurring when he got into the ambulance. You could see the concern on all of his peoples faces on his walk to the ambulance. They all felt bad for him because of that beating he took.
Jeez his face look mad swollen and was walking like he was in some serious pain. I hope all the tests comes up OK and nothing serious is reported. Same for Ruslan he took a lot of damage himself. And people have the nerve to hate on Bradley, man he was willing to die in there just to give us all the most exciting fight.
You cannot compare the Mikey Garcia fight to this one. Salido head butted Garcia causing his nose to break. It was an illegal shot, the doc stopped the fight due to the broken nose. No one knew Bradley had a concussion either, if they would of stopped it he would of lost no going to the cards. When did Ruslan hit Bradley with an Illegal shot? Come on man wrong comparison.
I had a concussion before too. It takes 6 months to go away. I had a headache in the same spot on my head for six months. If I would shake my head it would give me an intense headache. Eventually it went away. It's what happens in the sport of boxing and many other sports and it probably has shortened (not ended) Bradley's career.
Provodnikov won the fight, Bradley's referee did not call the obvious knockdown in round one, not to mention others he could have called a knockdown since the ropes were the only thing holding Bradley up. If Provodnikov had started a little earlier in the 12th round Bradley would have been knocked out. Also read that Bradley might have a broken jaw..............Bradley will not be able to take punches again in the future, he was damaged very badly.
