    On one of these polls, perhaps years from now, I'll remember to make the fucking thing public.

    Looked fine to me, in all honestly, he was moving around OK even in the championship rounds. If it was sprained, it was a minor sprain.

    Injury seems legit to me unless this is what his feet normally look like:

    Interesting. I'm a believer. Bradley is tough.

    Unless Arum got a special effects team in :stir:

    I hadn't seen the foot close up before, what did they say the injury was, did they say fracture? I've had a sprained ankle twice, and it swells up a LOT, and that evening or the next day, you can hardly walk on it. Looks like a nasty sprain to me.

    Bradley is tough, it obviously didn't bother him much in the fight, but something to note if it is a bad sprain as I suspect, it takes a while for it to kick in.

    It happened to me in training, an ankle twist, bit of pain, then you continue as normal. It's not for another hour or two you realise it's injured and it starts to swell and hurt a lot.

    Not sure if it's the adrenaline or what, but you don't feel it much at the time.

    So you're saying you don't give Bradley additional credit for beating Manny with two bad ankles?

    If he wasn't springing around the ring like a track star and actually fought like a man his ankle would be fine.

    I thought he was well on his way to knocking Manny out before he hurt his ankles. It prevented him from putting extra mustard on his shots.

    Manny should consider himself lucky.

    :cheer:

    Bradley couldn't punch his way out of a wet paper bag.

    A sprain sometimes hurts worse than a break, believe it or not

    He definitely did something to his ankle, I thought so watching the fight... and unless he has utterly bizarre feet, the picture would seem to support that he did something to it

    I thought he was a come forward kind of fighter, he was really out of character in the Pac fight. He's never moved that much.

    I didn't think he really ran, I was just joking about that, but he sure moved a whole lot.

    He sure moved a lot for a guy with a supposedly broken ankle, that's for sure.

    it was obvious that was the strategy he would use and have the most success with going into the pacquiao fight.
