Obviously, Bradley is one of the top guys out there and any trainer would have welcomed him with open arms, Teddy was an unusual choice in that he hasn't been a trainer for a very long time. Makes it look like Bardley had some very specific reason for going with him. Has he said anywhere why he chose Teddy?
<br /> <br /> So that he can begin stopping fighters where ever he sees them. In grocery stores, fighter meets, church,hospitals,charity functions and elsewhere. Atlas and Bradley are part of the Palm Springs Fire department and they take the heat and stop it.
:yep So who's top and who's bottom? :huh I can't see either man submitting. Neither is a beta like Yusaf Mack. Perhaps they just sit around giving each other 'a hand'? ...and the "firemen" thing comes full circle (for anyone that's ever heard the urban legends of what goes on in the station late at night...)
What really happened between Tim and Joel? In this interview, Tim almost seems angry at Joel. Tim said he was the one in the ring taking punches, not Joel. You would think Joel stole money from him or something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmfFA2xKFT8
My guess is it started in the rematch with Pacquiao. From what I can tell I don't think Diaz did a good job preparing Bradley for Pacquiao in the rematch. First off Diaz shouldn't have entertain the idea of Bradley knocking out Pacquiao which was shown in 24/7. And Diaz wasn't advising Bradley to change strategy when he started to fight flat-footed and be a puncher. The last three fights under Diaz, Bradley was fighting very undisciplined and some of that blame goes to Diaz. I think the change in corners was good.
Bradley said during the fight promo that Atlas told him he was set up for the punch he took from Vargas and Bradley did not believe him and then I guess Atlas showed him how and explained how he can teach him to fight smarter, when to throw punches and from what position etc.
In an interview with Atlas in the build up to the Rios fight, Atlas said that he asked Tim (after the Vargas fight) why he thought he was getting hit a lot more lately. Tim didn't have an answer for this. Atlas didn't go into anymore detail, but i assume he gave Tim a few reasons on why he believed Bradley was more hittable and Bradley was impressed so decided to go with him.
