Bradley: "i was shocked when the result was announced"

I've felt I lost fights that I ended up getting the decision in before. I was like...Hm.. Then even my opponent's dad told my dad I'd won the fight. it was a weird thing

 

You come across like a real winner. :huh <-- Sarcasm.

Timothy Bradley was all confidence before the fight and leading up to the fight.
Incase you forgot, Bradley had pulled the rematch ticket stunt at a press conference just to cap off his bubbling confidence.

Prior to getting in the ring with Pacman he was anything but timid,shy or intimidated. He was confident, cool and expecting to win.
Then when the fight is over 'he needs to watch the tape'
he is 'shocked at the result when it was announced' etc etc..
Pac is asked "Do you think that you won?" Answer : "Absolutely yes.."
Bradley "you know..I gotta go back home..review the tape and see..if I really won the fight or not.."
0 about Bradley in the ring after the bout said he thought he won.

"Well, Imma see if I won the fight or not..you know..I was in here..I thought it was a close match..Lemme see, lemme go back and watch the tape and see if I won the fight..thats pretty much it" ~ Bradley in the ring after the bout HBO Max Kellerman interview.

 

But that was last Saturday night. He has viewed the tape and now firmly believes he won. A lot of people who watched the fight without sound actually changed their mind. Bradley convincingly won one round. There are about 5, maybe 6 rounds which were close and could have gone either way. This means anyone can reasonably give Tim these 5 or 6 rounds. Add that to his decisive win (rd 10) and you have either a draw or a win for Tim.

 

In this case Tim was right because 98% of the crowd also had him losing. 97% of the Boxing writers had him losing.. Teddy Atlas, DLH, Roger M... Floyd Sr. Etc... Had him losing!

 

Pac easily won but tim being shocked at getting a decision in a fight vs Pac doesn't mean he thought he lost!!! I'd be shocked to get a decision vs Pac even if I thought I won 9 rounds after the Marquez fight........

 

Now Couple that with the fact that you had one broke foot, and the other heavily sprained and still beat the p4p#2 fighter in the world.

I can also sense the shock and amazement that he felt.

**** I'm still in shock and awe about it.

 

Well, you're coming across as an armchair psychologist. I could be mistaken about that assumption, in much the same manner that you could be mistaken about the manner in which my previous post came across. Or maybe we're both correct to feel the way we do. I'm certain we'll both live either way.

All pleasantries aside...All I'm saying is the fact that Bradley stated he was shocked about hearing that he had been given the decision should not automatically indicate that he personally feels that he lost the fight. SSM wore a look of shock on his face after the decision was announced against DLH the second time, yet went on to claim that it was simply due to the fact that DLH was the house fighter, and he felt that he wasn't going to be given the nod in what he felt was a close fight. We could be looking at the same mentality here.

 

Exactly. Personally, I don't think Bradley did enough to win the fight (called in 7-5 Pac) but that we both expressed shock when the decision was announced doesn't mean that he feels the same way that I do about the validity of the result that I do.

 

i had cotto/pbf at 7-5, 8-4 at the most for a very solid mayweather win.

pac/bradley had more rounds that could have gone either way.

i thought pac/jmm 3 was a solid win for jmm. 8-4 possibly even 10-2 for jmm.

 

Both of them need a rematch to settle this once and for all. Even then, who would bother watching it when everyone knows Pac is the real champ.

 

eh hem...!

You can`t fault Bradley for the scores, and he did fight with all he had in the fight. This decsision goes beyond the usually bad decisions we continue to be exposed to though.This one stinks as in crooked work afoot. I had it 9-3 in rds the best i could come up with would be 8-4. Pac landed the much harder shots and cleaner ones too. Bradley`s wild flails aren`t legit scoring punches especially when they land on Pac`s raised arms and elbows. Sure looks like by the fight coming down this way, Mayweather stays out of the picture and Pac gets his rematch and beats Bradley(who gets a great payday as well. Is it coincidence that the man who profits all the way around, owns both fighters ??? This **** embarrases our sport. When they started announcing the scorecards, and they said 115-113 Pac, all of us watching started looking at each other like ???

 

Bradley also told sorry to Bob Arum, cause he can't beat Pacquiao, but he tried his best

 

Your trying too hard loser.

 

Stop inventing things, don't put words in Bradley's mouth..
