Bradley/Prov. rematch: Who wins?

As great as this fight was... I don't wish a rematch on either guy.

 

Bradley. UD. He'd have learned from that fight more than Provodnikov did.

 

You have to imagine Joel Diaz is going to hammer all his points home into Bradley's thick skull during camp and video watching sessions long before they set foot in the ring.

Whether anything he throws at that wall manages to stick... :conf

If Bradley tries again the same way, his luck might run out.

 

Anyone suggest Timmy look into changing corners?
Diaz gave great movement advice but where was the clinching...

 

Joel Diaz has been his coach for at least eight years to my knowledge, maybe longer.

That is a big step...

The chief second needs to have their x's and o's down but also be a voice of calming authority. Diaz has the former and on the surface seems to have the latter - but Tim just wouldn't ****ing listen. It wasn't that Diaz was unfocused, or wishy-washy, or lacking firmness in his tone attempting to get Bradley's attention, nor was he going too far in the opposite extreme direction and pulling a "Teddy Atlas" or berating/talking down to Bradley...I think it's more an issue with Tim himself. He needs to get his big head out from his narrow behind and listen to his corner rather than assume he can shovel himself out from any hole that his bravado lands him in.

 

Bradley's manager would be stupid for even considering instant rematch.

..I can't believe the recovery skills of Tim! Legendary stuff.

 

Bradley wouldn´t make the same mistakes......

 

You would like to think so...but there is precedent for Bradley lapsing into stupid mode. :yep

 

In quite a few rounds, yes he did.

There were however those in which he denied Provodnikov the chance to do so by making adjustments.

The question in the rematch is whether Bradley can be smart the whole time.

 

Bradley 9-3 or 8-4
Provodkinov could still win rounds but wont have Bradley out on his feet

 

Is he going to have the flu?

 

:huh

 

Ruslan, man. His power is going to be the same. Bradley is still going to feel it at times, even if he tightens up the ship on his D. He is never that slick that he never gets touched; that isn't his game.

I see no reason to expect Tim won't get hurt again in a rematch no matter what game plan tweaks he and Diaz make. He'll just soldier through it again, most like.

 

vargas recovered very well during the tito fight as well.

and then he never recovered again.

there is a chance that bradley is damaged goods at this point.
