this is the second fight where I have seen him visibly tired before round 6. Last night and Provodnikov. I don't care about his muscles or how in shape he looks he has **** stamina.
it looked alot like he was playing possum he was flopping around all limp and punch drunk but pac had not landed anything ? i expected he was baiting in pacquiao trying to land the marquez right hand that i seen him throw a few times
what were you watching after round 5 he was noticably fatigued...his punch output, footspeed and body language said it all
i know! i saw it i just believed that after 5 rounds a young visibly in the best shape of his life timothy bradley could be that fatigued when he seemed to do better as the fight went on in the first fight against pac. also worth noting i think up until the 5th round and perhaps overall in he took less punishment in this fight
After round 4 or 5 his corner told him : 'You're not tired, that's Bulls*t'. He hanged against the ropes in the late rounds, he gassed out way too early.
That's what happens when you swing for the fences like Timmeh was doing, and mostly missing. It sapped his energy quickly, and then he looked like he was hoping to just keep Manny off him so he could make it to the end. Bad "power" strategy for Team Timmeh, TBH.
He looks ok stamina-wise against Pac1 and Marquez. He was getting tagged today and he's off balance trying to evade Pac and most of the time, he's exagerrating.
you dont know crap. tim is work horse and has great cardio. provodnikov fight he was on ***** street from the 1st rd till the 12th rd. and his cardio was just fine in his 1st fight with pacman. so you dont know crap right there but i did notice he was tired in this fight after the 6th rd. i was hoping for him to catch his second wind but it never really happen. but other then this fight tim has always looked good going down the stretch out working his man fool. how long you been watching boxing :-(
Bradley emphasized that Pacquiao’s feints could be a huge problem for Rios and that when he fought Pacquiao, all of the feints tired him out. “I came into the Pacquiao fight in the best shape of my life. I trained extremely hard for that fight. I remember it being around the fourth round -- I was exhausted. After four rounds,” Bradley said. “I am in the best shape of my life and I am exhausted. Pacquiao drops so many feints on you and he keeps you so tense. He hits hard with both hands [so] you always have to be alert and it drains you as a fighter.
Bradley looked like he could actually win the first half of the fight. He tired himself out trying to throw power punches and hitting air all night. He never was in good position and was winging punches from all sorts of weird angles. If Bradley would have just tried to out box pacquiao i almost think he could have won more rounds.
Punching a man real hard in the face will degrade his stanima. For example, let me repeatedly punch you in the face and we'll see.
This. I think it started with his calf. He was off balance and lumbering around after round 2. I thought it was the big left he took that round, now I think it was the calf. Either way he wasn't moving well and decided he was going to throw two rounds of haymakers which does take the wind out of you quickly.
