    Tim Bradley: "after the pac fight i ballooned up to 185lbs. the inactivity killed me. i believe the reason i couldnt take a punch is because i had to lose 20 pounds 2 weeks before the provodnikov fight. on fight nite, i was up to 160. i never weigh more than 150 on fight nite"

    on the other site

    he practically blames his punch resistance to losing a lot of weight

    I like Timmeh, but he would have got his bell rung the same way if he stayed in shape.

    No he gained the weight to take a WW punch, although fat as **** for a WW he was in tremendous shape, had excellent stamina and didnt look drained one bit, Timmy needs to stop with the excuses, he needs to be lucky he got the ass whipping of his life saved by the bell and all and walk away with a W


    Pacquiao lost to this bum:patsch

    I do think weight loss effects punch resistance but I thought this guys was a vegan and stayed in shape ..Must have not been training after Manny fight ..I know the fight got too him with all the backlash ..Still though what a warrior .

    If anybody who actually watched Bradley before would know that he was hindered by the weight. Teddy Atlas even mentioned it a week ago in an interview citing that it did him harm in the fight

    only a vegan during training camp

    thats his fault

    if your going to be a fatass there is nobody else to blame but yourself. Bradley at 185 must have looked like one chubby mother ****er.

    I believe him, he didn't fight the same way and dropping weight quickly is terrible for punch resistance.

    I'm believing that he will be back to old form once he gets his weight back down to the usual.
