Technically he has the belt. And not to mention that Bradley is actually a standup guy inside and outside of the ring. He shows courage under fire in the ring, he does nothing special but has good boxing fundamentals and gets by and his sheer heart and work-rate which he maintains for all twelve rounds. He had two injured feet and could have quit on his stool in any round after the second. He fought his way through to the end and was rewarded for his efforts. Whether or not one thinks he won the fight he surely deserves one's respect and admiration for the display of professionalism that he showed inside the ring.
Truly awesome. Tim Desert Slick Bradley. Just like in the movie, he outwitted the clowns known as Pac and Arum. They just have no clue. Bradley swam without getting wet.
