I remember southpaw Bradley winning the ABA lightweight title in 1993 and he represented Scotland in the European championships later that year but trouble was never far away from his door and this news comes as no great surprise.

I saw an interview he did not long back talking about him changing his ways and helping and supporting others.
Shame he couldn't move on or others didn't let him move on. Heard he was a excellent am yes.
RIP

Saw this last night. Met him a couple of times and he always came across a real gent and nice guy. Unfortunately as Bennie says, it's no great surprise. Hopefully the culprit is caught sharpish. Too many murders going unsolved up here recently!

It's a great shame all this mindless killing.
Only ever saw the guy on Trainspotting 2
What's the history of Walsh for someone to murder him?

I've seen a couple of reports describing him as 'reportedly' a former ABA champ.
Quality amateur and a quality pro who didn't push on.

I watched about 10 minutes a few weeks back but got distracted, went back & watched the whole thing just there. It’s just typical Bradley, tells it as he sees it, no bullshit. Quite sad watching it now.
I’ll not get approached, my life’s not interesting enough!

Just make up some nonsense to get yourself some publicity. You've been shot 12 times and your mam made you sleep in the bin shed when you were a boy
