No need for Bradley to fight like that...

He had a far away look in his eyes, and he wasn't looking at the round card girls.

He was ****ed.

 

This is what I've been saying since the fight ended. Bradley did all that to please the fans and nearly got knocked the **** out. Look how he was during the post fight interview. His family had to watch that. There nothing cool about taking punishment if you don't have to. Bradley should have boxed this guy and moved on to the next opponent. Instead fighting like this will shorten his career but may get him a few more fans.

I hope it was worth it timmie

 

Sad that fans in the arena were booing and folks on here are trolling after he gave us such a spectacular fight.

Boxing fans can be the cruelest sometimes.

 

Especially when the guy saying it is way too much of a warrior for his own good. Scary post fight interview.

 

There's a lot of people here because they're haters, pure and simple. Not fans of the sport in any way.

 

Imagine if Mayweather listened to the fans. In a way I understand WHY Bradley had to fight that way. He doesn't have many fans. At one point Holyfield was in the similar position UNTIL that Bowe fight. This was Bradley's Bowe fight. This fight will be played on TV again and again, getting him a legit fanbase.

He just picked the wrong fighter to have a war with. The style is okay when you're up against guys who you can hurt, and who aren't big punchers, it's even a good style to go against a guy like Pacquiao who can't KO you with one punch, but the Russian guy could KO you with one punch so it's not wise to brawl against that kind of puncher.

 

styles make fight, Ruslan is a graet inside fighter with a lot power.... hard fighter to run away all night, Bradley had to fight! he couldn't box the whole 12 because he is not that fighter... he can't be on his toes for all 12

 

Holyfield did the same thing. Sometimes in order to win fans you have to fight in a fan pleasing style.

 

bradley could have boxed easily to a ud but choose to slug it out and got booed at the end lmfaoo that was just sad

 

Yeah.

 

he needs to know when to clinch.

 

Christ, the people he was trying to please and prove something to
werent even his fans before or after the fight. It was a war, but I
had my eyes squinted the entire fight for Tim. Dammit just box. He took
about 3 years off his career with this one.

 

Watch the Lamont Peterson fight. He was slugging inside with him, got hurt by Peterson, then spent the rest of the fight on his back foot outclassing Lamont. He can do it, but he tried to prove something.

 

Bradley always fight like that. He goes to war , that's the way he is can't change him.

 

Gave his mom & spouse an incredible amount of anxiety too I'm sure since they bounced pretty early.
