Tim stuck to his gameplan against Prov....beat him while concussed in a FOTY. Tim stuck to his gameplan against Chaves and whooped his ass, got robbed. Tim stuck to his gameplan against JMM, and whooped his ass....Tim stuck to his gameplan against Manny, he just isn't good enough to win TWICE (although he was gifted one)
So whatchu talkin bout willis?
Timmy against Prov - was a great display of heart and determination; but there was no good game plan or evidence of boxing IQ in that fight..he dummy fought/slugged it out to the point he was too far gone to switch...he nearly had his career ended. It's one of the damndest brawls I've ever seen and a FOTY but for all the wrong reasons.
Timmy vs JMM was a fight which he stuck to a game plan and showed a high boxing IQ; best showing ever as a pro boxer
Timmy vs Pacquiao - There's nothing I've said in these fights that was positive for Timmy. He was outboxed clearly in the first fight by an admittedly laid back Pac got the gift; second fight was closer (still lost 8-4) but again showed that lack of boxing iq/game plan when he tried to KO pac and boxing the man on equal terms and gassed out. Pac's footwork also absolute obliterated Timmy's footwork to the point where Timmy got injured both fights.
Timmy vs Chaves - this fight more than anything showed me that Timmy will have issues with bigger fighters at 147 and 154. he outworked Chaves and I thought he won but he didn't look good and barely hurt him. Bradley was really putting everything into those right hands too. He took some punishment from him and got lumped up bad. Chaves is barely a gatekeeper. This is why I say Bradley should not go up any higher than 147. It's not optimal for somebody like him who has an athletic style of fighting but very little in punching power.
