Does Bradley injures his legs/feet in every fight or only against Pacquiao?

I think pacquiao is definitely a "bad" match up for Bradley. While Bradley is very quick and athletic, Pacquiao's awkward in and out movement I think puts Bradley off balance. I think this is why you see him moving awkwardly and then perhaps injuring himself. He did look very off balance during the fight at times. It's interesting because he didn't look like this in the marquez fight at all.

 

Its because pac makes him use lateral movement far more than he is accustomed to doing. For marquez though that quality is staple of his style.

 

Bradley's balance isn't that good and when he fights Pac he has to move and turn Pac around the ring than his usual opponent. As he is moving and turning, he must put a lot of strain on his ankles and calves, more than he is normally used to.
Plus since Pac likes to turn 4-10 punch combinations Bradley does a lot of bending at the waist and pivoting and when he tries to counter from these awkward positions probably twists and turns his ankles alot.

 

Bradley tries to keep up with Pacquiao's feet when Pac has the superior and faster feet. I think this resulted in injury in both fights. Bradley shouldn't try to keep up with Pac, he should try to time him. Mayweather would beat Pac by timing Pac, not by trying to compete with his footwork.

 

Didn't Mosley suffer major foot blisters after the Pacquiao fight also?

 

Dam wonder if there this many odd injuries with all time greats like Robinson , LaMotta etc

 

the injuries are directly related to Pacman though so really the injuries dont diminish pac's two clear wins over bradley, who himself is a great fighter

 

good analysis, timmy is forced to move a lot to evade pac's flurry of punches.

 

Good analysis! :good

 

bradley is so muscular i can easily see him pulling muscles in fights were he's using his legs a lot. half through the fight he said to joel that his leg was bothering him. when he was doing good headed into the 5th rd he was not as busy and uncharacteristically tired. he never got his 2nd wind and pacman took over from there till bout the 11th.

 

Only when he loses...LMAO

 

Yea, Pac seems to make him move in odd, unfluid manners, which could be why he injures himself when he fights Pac.

 

It appears that Bradley only gets injuries whenever he fights Pac............does not seem on the level...............
