    Yes. If the only other option is you behave like a 5 year old child, then ignore me.

    imo it was a disgraceful performance by bradley saunders, to lose his rag and get dq'd by headbutting a guy is terrible. imo that might be the way bradleys carrer might go if he decides to continue because imo he looks like a typical bully/on top fighter that cant handle the pressure when its up against him.

    when he turned pro i really thought he was a top prospect but in the last 18 + months he has went backwards and imo it all ties in with him training in marbella as well as his dodgy hands.

    hopefully he gets them fixed and proves me wrong because he is a nice guy and think it would be a waste if he couldnt at least fight for the british title but who can he beat at super lightweight just now? dave ryan, john wayne hibbert, tyrone nurse, chris jenkins or willie limond? imo they all beat him at the minute

    I thought the same. His footwork and movement is awful.

    i've also thought similar things when watching Quigg tbh.

    Bradley's footwork is fine he stands with a wide stance because he is a natural counter puncher

    Do you worry for Bradley now mate? I have seen his hands up close after amateur fights and he needed to ice them for hours after a 3 round bout and that was 5 years + ago!! Really nice guy and I hope it works out for him because on his day he is a handful for anybody at the weight and if his hands hold up could beat ant domestic Light Welter.

    Nah, he's a bit spastic with his fawn like crawl.

    Not really a "counter-puncher" thing. Marquez doesn't move like that.

    Yes. He jerks and flails and gives the appearance of pitching a fit. Not a smooth watch.

    I trained Bradley for one fight and I know exactly how good he is or could be.
    I thought he'd win minimum euro back then, the truth is if his hand have been giving him grief for so long the won't get any better unfortunately

    I didn't know you had actually trained him for a while! I really rated him amateur and thought he would do well but I was always worried about his hands tbh.

    Billy do you not think hands aside he is very much like Alex Arthur? You have obviously seen both close up. His whole demeanor in the ring and his bullying style is so similar? I think the problem with that style is you need to be matched well.

    Great points in that first paragraph. Think he has a serious ego, concerning his power anyway. I was looking forward to Jack Catterall getting hold of him to be honest...
