Abuse after Pacquiao fight nearly drove me to suicide, says Bradley ahead of rematch

[Sweet Pea 50]

Light speed said that, but yes Timmeh can be dumb and reckless sometimes.

Well dumb and reckless can also be interpreted as fighting spirit as well, I guess.

I do believe that Timmy was going through a tough time mentally after the Pac fight. No doubt about it.

Anyways, what I'm hoping for is a balls to the wall, great fight Saturday night, and a clear victor is found, without controversy.

Your words: but he is emotionally unstable meaning he will sometimes get reckless and act dumb, like in the Provodnikov fight.

That said..

Timmeh talks tough, but to consider suicide when your loaded with money and love from family and friends and you still contemplate on suicidal thoughts. Shows he can't handle pressure.

Well, to be fair, he did have the whole outside world saying:
"You lost.",
"You cheated and you're a loser.",
"You lost.",
"You're a boring pillow fisted fighter.",
more "You lost.",
and worse...

All of this right after the crowning moment of your undefeated career. Much of this from his peers. Months of that would **** a lot of people up. Yeah, buck up, get a sports physiologist (or shrink), unplug, and get out of town for a bit... but I can understand doubling down on the position that you thought you won when your fundamental self worth was under that kind of assault, or not handling the Provo fight in the smartest way possible.

Great points.

Bradley even said himself on the 24/7 that his mindset going in to the Provo fight, due to all the flack he had received from the Pac decision, was that he was going to try to run straight through him, or something to that effect.

What happened was a FOTY candidate.

He hears all that and still thinks it's 8-4 lol yup he needs a shrink fast. His in a different reality up until now. He will wake-up only when Michael Buffer announces Pac the winner this time around.

Delusional is a word I rarely use, but this word fits the bill hehe!
