Bouts like this usually do one of two things for a fighter; Most fighters alter their style to be a little more safety-first and they shy away from ever fighting opponents like that, they lose the killer instinct. The alternate is when fighters take grueling matches like this and they're never the same fighter, the win or loss takes whatever they had left in the tank. I'm not sure what will happen to Bradley after a fight like that.
I admire Timothy Bradley for a number of things, but I think if he doesn't learn how to play it smart when he's in dangerous situations like he was last night he'll have a short career. The great thing about having a chin is that it allows you to take some heavy shots and keep on fight....the bad thing about a chin is that once fighters realize they can take those types of shots they rely on it too much, I hope Bradley knows the difference.
No he has had 2 massive beatings in a row, pac man murderd him and got robbed, and this guy gave him a tougher win than most fighters defeats, those styles of fights take years off a guy, and signs of his weakness is being shown one is hes to brave and not technical enough. He will be easy pickings at this rate againist another of the elite guys.
What is everyone talking about of course he will be the same it's not like he took a beating for 12 rounds damn.
no
Timothy Bradley may have edged ruslan provodnikov in winning the fight but one has wonder has the amount of punishment that provodnikov threw Bradley's way done any long term damage to Bradley. Bradley even said after the fight that he may have suffered concussion from the first two rounds and looked to be out on his feet on more than one occasion. So it makes you think did the damage that Bradley took last night have any effect on him for the long run and will he be the same after that hellacious beating.
