Bradley did well for someone trained by his father (a kickboxer) up until 2001

    I give him credit for how much he's achieved, even though he hasn't been tutored in the art of boxing thoroughly. He's got loads of faults, but due to his true grit and willpower, has succeeded where a lot of other people have failed.

    He came up short over the weekend, won a gift - but if he keeps working hard, and learning the art of boxing particularly, he has a good future ahead of himself.

    I don't know how Bradley's career is going to end up. If Arum really did fix the fight to make Bradley his future star, it has backfired quite badly -- the reaction from most boxing writers, fans, etc has been bewilderment, anger and annoyance. Bradley is now more of a 'name', but only in connection to corruption or ineptness in the sport. Even he looked sheepish in the post-fight interview. It's a shame.

    I agree, it tells that he was trained by an inexperianced man for so long too, makes very basic faults often but still found a way to unify a division twice and nick a couple rounds off one of the best fighters in the game, props.
