Tim Bradley bows out after 13 years

By Daily Sports on August 7, 2017

Former two division world champion Tim Bradley made his retirement from boxing official on Saturday in a statement letting fans know that he’s hanging up his gloves after 13 years as a pro.

Bradley hasn’t seen the inside of ring for over a year since his 12 round unanimous loss to Manny Pacquiao in fight No.3 on April 9, 2016.

The 34-year-old Bradley wasn’t competitive in losing to Pacquiao by the scores 116-110, 116-110 and 116-110.

This was a predictable move for Bradley after his defeat to Pacquiao last year. That was Bradley’s biggest money opponent. The loss for Bradley closed the door on the rivalry.

Fans will need to wait and see if Bradley’s retirement from boxing is final or just a vacation. This is so because in recent times, fighters frequently make a comeback after a brief period.

In Bradley’s case, he was still fighting at a prominent level last year in his last fight. He showed in his one-sided win over Jessie Vargas in June of 2015 that he still had a lot in the tank.

“There always comes a point in life where we have to make choices that no matter how much we know the right option, it still leaves us filled with mixed emotions,” said Bradley via Fight news.

“I have spent the past couple days trying to find the right words to describe this point in my life and no matter how long I sit and reflect, I still don’t know if these words can do my thoughts justice, but I’m going to do my best to open up my heart and share with all of you during this pivotal time,” said Bradley.
