    That alone does not equate to being reckless. Was the plan to float around like Ray Leonard for the entire fight? Bradley is what he is.

    You can fight in the pocket while still being defensive. Hell, sometimes the pocket is the safest place to be. When he got hurt, though, is when he became reckless.

    he was in the pocket exchanging punches. The pocket is safe if you're smothering or tying up your opponent which Bradley wasn't doing

    and yes the strategy was to box. They mention that over and over through the fight.
