    Default So it looks like Tim Bradley is for real.

    He goes into Witter's backyard and whips his ass. That could have been a fluke, a one shot deal. Last night, he did what a top class fighter is supposed to do with Edner Cherry. He wins a decisive victory, leave no doubt, and puts on a good show. I would say he handled him just as easily, if not more so, than Paulie did.

    Looking at the two fight, it seems like belongs with the top 4 or 5 LWW's and would be capable of making an entertaining fight with Ricky, Paulie or anybody else in the division. Agree?

    I didn't see the Cherry fight, although I had it on I was precoccupied with other things.

    I heard the commentary though and it seems he won a pretty clear victory.

    I did like Cherry's trainer launching into a tirade late on the fight. 'You got to fucking work, think of your fucking family, your fucking wasting this fucking opportunity you fucking useless fuck, now fucking get out there and do some fucking work and lets try and get back into this fucking fight for fucks sake!'

    Or something like that

    I was more impressed with him than when he beat Witter - hardly surprising considering Witter's awkward style.

    I agree he would be a tough fight for Hatton.

    He's good, not great but real solid. I think I'd pick him to beat Hatton at this point.

    I would still pick Hatton, at this point, but I can see him giving Ricky some problems. Bradley bangs pretty good to the body, and Ricky doesn't like that too much. It's certainly a fight I would want to see, but I doubt Ricky would take it at this point. Maybe. I wouldn't mind seeing him in against Paulie. I would give him a shot in that one.

    I would say he is a decent solid fighter with a decent chin, decent power, along with decent boxing skills but do you notice something about my wording ? *Decent* and thats all i see in him nothing stands out about him but i wish him luck he sounds like a nice guy but i honestly don't see anything elite in him.

    Bradley does appear to be a decent fighter, the division is weak though.

    He could be a top fighter in the division in a few years.

    At the moment he still appears to be a bit green to me still.

    I would rate his handspeed a bit better than decent. His jab, both crispness and timing, appear to be B+/A- especially considering he is young and not tall. It's not that common to see a fighter with that build develop that kind of jab and commit to it the way he does. He also times the right hand very well.

    We know his chin is decent, but it could be great, we just won't know until he's in with a bigger hitter. Cherry is an OK puncher, but he's not a true hard hitting LWW, so until I see him take one flush from Hatton or Torres, I can't rate him with a great chin.

    I don't see this guy being a GOAT, but considering he had stones to go to England, to Witter's backyard, when he's not a KO puncher, probably for short money, says something to me. If Witter, Froch and whol bunch of others who claim that nobody will fight them had enough confidence to take that kind of risk and go on the road, they wouldn't be crying about getting getting ducked. This only matters because sometimes a fighter who is "decent" across the board can become a step above based on intangibles. Bradley seems to have some of these.

    He has earned respect.A solid work horse with nice hand speed,good movement ,gives seemingly everything he has in the ring ,a humble professional attitude and he does not suffer from Illusions af grandture....I like him and he can fight, he has room to grow and mature also.

    I wouldn't mind seeing Bradley face Kotelnik. That's a good match up IMO

    Nice fighter, but the fight didn't entertain me.

    He's a good worker and very strong, seems he's got a good chin too.

    Time will tell with Tim, but for now he gets my respect for his willingness to travel, and his top workrate.

    I do not rate him, he a physique but not a big puncher, he is a good boxer but not very fast, Hatton would beat him.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    When cherry came out without the red "cherry bomb" socks i knew he was done. Still not sure how good bradley is but he is definatly much better than i gave him credit for, uses that head like a pro as well.

    Yeah it wasnt exciting but Cherry is a tough nut to look good against and K.O . ( he beat up Floyd Mayweather apparently )

    Bradley did deck him though and his handspeed was exceptional . I saw raw talent and this kid is still improving . I think with time we are looking a potential top 10 p4per if he is guided correctly . I was impressed even if I wasnt excited by his performance on Saturday .
