Bradleys concussion: This dude is still slurring his words

Check out this very recent Bradley interview. He started slurring right off the bat and looks like hes still got some bags under his eyes. He talks about his fight with Provodnikov, a possible rematch, his concussion and how he'd love to fight Marquez.

I dont think it would be wise to go straight into a Marquez fight. Even tho it would be in September or October, he took a lot of flush shots to the chin and im not sure he will respond well to Marquez' punches. If Marquez trains like he did for Pacquiao, then he might do some serious damage to Bradley.

 

No offense but bradley's an idiot. Fighters who try to impress the crowd and play to them by slugging it out and shortening your own career are not mentally strong. He shouldnt have collapsed from the pressure of the Pacquiao fight.

At the end of the day the people in the crowd will leave and will eventually forget about you while the damage you sustained will last. Notice how the crowd also booed him, they will never be happy no matter what so dont think about it much.

 

his speech is not slurry by the way. Maybe you have noticed a subtle change i cannot see since i do not analyze his voice. maybe you can show two videos?

 

Quoted for truth:deal

 

There were only a couple words he actually slurred but he also sounds like he has to really try a little harder to formulate his sentences nowadays. Speaking slow at times in other words.

 

I notice it too bro................

but concussions take a while to go away. it doesnt mean he is punch drunk yet....but he is definitely on his way if he continues to brawl!

 

It was dumb of him to do that when he didnt have to but i wouldnt call him an idiot because of it. He did what he thought he had to do. He sounds pleased by it so more power to him.

 

He really does look like a Ninja Turtle.

 

Thats true but the way Marquez is hitting, and how it will have only been.about half a year from what looks like a pretty bad concussion till the time.he stand across the ring from Marquez is a scary thought. He took more damage than Pacquiao going night night. But Mannys damage also may be more pysche than physical damage.

 

big difference in speech compared to this video

Which one :think

 

I hear some slurrage. I thought of Mosley for two seconds, which is not good.

You never know if he's drunk/high/nervous/preoccupied.

 

You know, everyone on HBO was making it out like Diaz was taking some kind of noble stand by threatening to stop the fight, but I truly believe he's going to regret letting Tim take 12 full rounds of that (if he doesn't already).

It was a Pyrrhic victory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrrhic_victory) if there ever was one. Sacrificing a fighter's long-term career and health for one fight isn't the mark of a trainer who's truly looking out for his fighter's best interests.

The worst part is that Bradley didn't really need to have his trainer hang him out like that because he's not a fighter who fights for a $30k purse and is in desperate need of a big payday. A loss doesn't ruin Tim Bradley's life- the man's already a multi-millionaire who could've easily gotten more high six figure and seven figure purses even with a loss. Shortening his career and possibly hurting his quality of life is a much higher price to pay.

 

Pleased by what? I'd rather get booed by a crowd and walk out of the ring with no damage and celebrate rather than having to get sent to the hospital with concussion. He's pleased for the wrong reasons.

 

Not big at all. Looking at both videos, I'd say it's pretty slight. You also have to consider that the video you showed probably has edits to sound nice and stuff.
