Timothy Bradley claims that not wearing any socks and a spongy mat are to blame for his ankles rolling and falling all over himself in his first fight with Manny Pacquiao. http://www.badlefthook.com/2014/3/2...-spongy-canvas-mgm-grand-april-12-boxing-news
I can see how that could happen. It didn't sound like he was making any excuses just stating what he thought was the cause of his ankle problems in the fight.
Tim is a straight shooter. I have never heard him dodge or avoid a question. He didn't wear socks and it didn't help him. But the more important factor is that Tim bounces back and forth a lot and when you keep doing that, you increase your chances of rolling an ankle. It's part of his defense. He jumps back and tries to roll with punches and sometimes that puts him in awkward positions. It happened several times where it looked like Pac hurt Tim but watch the tape again and you can see Tim rolling with the punches, even though to the naked eye, in live view, it looks like Tim is hut and retreating.
