  • I love Tim Bradley, the man is so cool and humble and I enjoy him as a commentator…

  • The reason I have to watch ESPN boxing with the sound off: Timothy Bradley’s screeching. If they could get someone smooth like Sergio Mora, I would sub to ESPN+, too.

  • IDK, maybe the covid pandemic has shortened the options, but I think Bradley is not the guy to be alongside Kriegel, Ward, Tesitore and Berardo Ozuna.

  • Bradley is great at analyzing but seeks validation from Andre Ward too much. He rarely makes a comment without looking at Andre. But, Bradley has always been good for Boxing.

    • I wholeheartedly disagree. He is always battling and disagreeing with “dre”.

  • Bradley was a tough son of a gun in the ring, but he has to smooth out his rough presentation edges and posture because it can get irritating to a point of pressing the mute button.

    Ward is an outstanding commentator, and Bradley should try to learn some things from Ward. However, I will keep the door open for Bradley’s development as a smoother, more professional commentator.

  • ugh Bradley acts a little too punchy at times saying off the wall crap and Andre wants to tell him to STFU but has respect for the babbling punching bag he has become the ESPN version of Paulie ” tweaker” Malgnaggi

    • Your characterization is way off. Bradley’s articulation, timing, and logic do not indicate him being “punchy.” Nor was he ever close to being a “punching bag”, stepping stone, or journeyman. He seems to borrow from the Stephen A Smith school of provocative hyperbole. I think he extends himself to be unique in his commentary.. translation is he is intentionally over the top. In no way is he the babbling punching bag that you depict.

  • I liked ESPN fights when Kellerman was around. It is sad that HBO stopped doing boxing since it was a great broadcast team and my favourite station to watch a fight.

  • I have no problem with Bradley. Seems a cool dude and a decent commentator.

    On a side note, he reminds me of The Head Detective from In Living Color. Throw a semi-fro on that dome, and he’d be a spitting image.
