Conditioning is a key element of boxing and should be taken seriously of course but I feel Bradley spends much more time on conditioning than he does on technique. Obviously, I'm not in camp with him and 24/7 is heavily edited and slanted material, but it does give you a little idea of what fighters like to do. Bradley seems to focus on being as fit as possible rather than being as skilled as possible, but boxing is not just about who trains the hardest, it's often about who trains the smartest and who spends more time honing his craft. Conditioning is important but it should take a back seat to skills and strategy.

Quite possibly the most assumptive post, I've seen in a while.

I think ... Garcia would be the most derelict trainer in history if he let Bradley stress physical conditioning disproportionately over boxing technique. It is obvious that Bradley works out heavily but also obvious that he does put in the work training as boxer's should.

It can be stated, that his physical conditioning routine reflects more when looking at appearance, but by no means can it be stated that he has poor boxing technique. As many know, it takes years to develop a proper boxing technique and it is also understood, that it takes longer to develop than a physical exercise routine.

There is no PX90 or Insanity routine for boxing because it takes time and proper training to develop the correct punching and movement technique. While at the same time one can develop a good physique in 90 days and maintain it with proper exercise.

Bradley is a very good boxer, evident in his previous fights -- sure he has faults, but so does every boxer on the planet. But I think it is off-base for one looking from the outside, to state that he doesn't exalt his boxing training over his physical conditioning.

you should youtube some videos of him training for the fight. There are several out there that show him working on slipping Pac's left hand, shooting after Pac finishes his combos with uppercuts and rights before slipping back out again, and him focusing on the right shoulder of Pac. He is going to disrupt Pac's rhythm by punching Pac's right shoulder, as the fight progresses Pac will not have any kind of a jab at all and add in Bradley's left hook to the body, Pac's right arm will be very low allowing Tim to land flush left hooks to the face.

He has been working on allowing Pac to lead while he backs out of danger and off to the side positioning himself to land the counter right hand....Pac drops his hands after throwing his combos, Bradley is going to try and counter Pac after he finishes throwing his combos.

Tim has been working on many things for this fight....many things that aren't coming forward and brawling like Roach thinks he will do.

You're ****ing crazy. Conditioning is the key to fighting Floyd or Pacman. 99% of the guys they've fought fell apart because they weren't conditioned. The blow that dropped Bradley against Holt would have ended a lesser conditioned fighter.

[MRBOOMER]

That's part of his technique. Out working other fighters an for this fight I think that's a part of his game plan to out work PAC and out fight him on the inside which you need lots of stamina and conditioning

He has to first catch PAC to get to the inside take his big shots deal with his speed and put his own game plan into effect with all those things he has to be in top form because if he's not he can kiss that W goodbye.

This isn't a fight of skill it's a fight of will

[Bushbaby]

Bradley got this.

Top Rank owned Gamboa who was ******.

Gamboa asked for 70k in advance, he is broke because he is ******.

[al-Xander]

I'm not surprised. He probably regrets ducking Rios, which I believe is tailor made for his style.

Is this a serious thread? There is no such thing as too much conditioning. You can lose to much weight, or dehydrate yourself too much before a fight, or even exhaust yourself too much before a fight, but you can never be too conditioned. If you don't have the conditioning to work at a certain rate the distance, the skills, talent, and strategy mean nothing.

When you are just too tired, any opponent can overwhelm you, it's happened to me in sparring several times.


Conditioning is absolutely critical, and a great majority of the key to victory in any fight.

Too much emphasis on conditioning? What a joke.

[any craic lad?]

Good was the only way Gamboa would come out well was to return
