Wouldn't be surprised if a boxer eventually runs up on Bradley, I don't even remember him talking like this as an active fighter
Is he lying though? :sas2:

I can see why the way he talks can be irritating but it’s funny when some fans are more angry at Bradley for talking shyt than at Tank for the fukked up shyt he engages in outside the ring time-to-time.

He absolutely is lying when it comes to Crawford/Spence, I know devil advocacy is your thing but miss me with that shyt

Right. I think Bradley would hate Tank even without the domestic violence stuff. But with him throwing that in there as the reason you end up looking like a weirdo going to bat for a dude with multiple DV allegations and a court case for hit and run of a pregnant woman

all the Tank and Bradley shyt is goofy to me...however when you have Tank and his stans trying to shyt on Bradley's career thats when the shyt jumps the shark and is comical. I've said it before and will say it again, Tank hasn't got the scalps or wins to date that Bradley has...not even close..anyone who thinks otherwise is just dikkriding HARD!!! :heh:..and i say this as a guy who was not a fan of Timmy when he was fighting

I believe he does rematches based on his personal views of the fight, not the official scorecard.

Let's be honest, the Oscar fight wasn't really close despite the scorecards. Oscar had some success with the jab early in the fight but wasn't able to sustain it. Mayweather/Canelo was a Majority Decision and we both know that wasn't a close fight.

To turn down an Oscar fight is crazy though. That clearly illustrated that he does not do rematches based on money.
I thought him turning down an Oscar rematch was due to feeling like Oscar took advantage money wise on the initial fight. He didn't want to do the rematch unless terms were flipped in his favor the way they were in Oscar's favor the first fight.

This definitely falls into the “random” part of the thread title. I was watching A Football Life’s episode of Bruce Smith and they said he was from Norfolk.

I googled Pernell Whitaker and Bruce Smith. Turns out they were the same age, longtime friends. and went to the same high school. It was when they were filming this episode on Bruce when Whitaker died. He was very upset but still went through with filming the episode.

That’s a lot of athletic talent in one high school class, 2 of the all-time greats in different sports.

I know this is “basic” stuff but i love watching how boxers feet move. Amazing

Basic boxing footwork and angles is so hard. I remember doing drills to cut off the ring on a more experienced boxer and it was just a nightmare. Constantly out of position.

World class boxers make these difficult things look so easy.

Funny thing. A lot of seasoned guys in your average gym are really bad at cutting off the ring too because they dont have to because they have length, quick, or whatever reason. Its why even at the pro level ull see great fighters be bad at it since it would take a cat with perfect footwork and movement to even have them have to cut the ring off well. Most recent wxample I can think of was that teofimo fight.

My trainer is a shorter guy for his weight class so hes very very good at cutting off the ring and he was teaching me and that is hard as you have to have some good ass footwork and instincts cuz punches coming too and u need to maintain the ability counter and shyt as well as moving them where they need to be.

Its not shocking in ufc those dudes be looking super lost against an elusivs guy half the time
