    I liked this video thanks

    I thought it was very foolish when posters here were saying they noticed no changes

    I think what Atlas did was he fixed the small stuff which in turn can lead to big stuff. Bradley was already a very good fighter but he had these flaws and problems that held him back a little

    To point 1 the feet and balance notice how Bradley gets his head far out in front and gets his feet wide apart and it makes him stumble. I can bet that that is what caused the injuries in both Pacquiao fights and I think without those injuries he could have won both fights.

    I know Rios retired after and had a big overnight weight gain leading many to believe that maybe this win isnt as impressive as it should be I will say I wish Bradley and Atlas would have taken a fight in between Pacquiao or anyother big time name.

    I dont know if its enough to win this fight I feel they may have been better suited to have one more fight together

    One thing that I think has been important for Bradley with Atlas is that his shots are more compact and he turns them over more so we may see him score more knockouts. I dont think he is going to turn into Hearns but I think when he gets leverage he can hurt guys I mean he did wobble Manny a little in fight 2. So I would say imagine if he landed that punch about 10 more times he could really up his chance of scoring a KO or TKO

    All in all the little things like where to stand where to have the hands and where to put the head will all lead to Bradley landing more and getting hit less

    Thanks! I think people confuse valuing a win vs. valuing a performance. But things like form and movement, those things can change with just a punching bag in front of you. So even if the opponent isn't hot ****, the details still matter. Cotto lost to Canelo but so many people were dismissing his chances because of his opposition and he made it VERY competitive using the tactics Roach equipped him with in those other fights.

    Spot on about Bradley's movement. I'm not sure he'd beat Pac without the injuries but I think his lack of balance was a part of it. He didn't take a single step without a purpose in this fight.

    I think Bradley with Atlas would trash Provodnikov Chaves and Vargas no problem fighting the way he did

    I agree. I especially like he has corrected his balance when throwing hooks he was all over the place earlier in his career. If Bradley can resist the urge to be lured into a brawl and box he can probably beat Pac.

    Pacquiao looked helpless when Bradley clinched him. Now Bradley's inside game has improved.

    Yeah Pac's lack of inside is there to be exploited.

    I think this version of Bradley's best bet against Pacquiao is to use JMM 3 as a template. Tight circling (instead of wide circling), a snappy jab, sharp right hand counters, angles side to side, and quick combinations.

    Agreed. With Atlas I don't think he'll fight down to his level of opposition anymore.

    Pac beats Bradley whenever they meet. It doesn't matter who is training Bradley now.

    You forgot #5. Fight a human punching bag so everyone thinks you are good. Honestly I'd be really worried if Bradley didn't beat Rios by a landslide...
