    bradley has almost no power but lamont does have power, trust me on that one. lamont just cruises in some of his fights but he will be on top of his game for this fight. lamont has amazing timing, especially with the left hook which bradley got put down with against holt. i think lamont is just going to counter bradley all night

        Bradley, high workrate, heart, chin and the more experienced.

        He's incredibly composed for a young fighter, always in incredible shape.

          all that is true but lamont is the far superior boxer overall. and like i said before lamont has a nasty left hook that he has amazing timing with. if he catches bradley with it it wouldnt suprise me if bradley gets put down like he did against holt.

              haha what do you mean no? yea bradley has quick feet and hands but hes not some defensive master or good counter puncher, bradley has alot of holes in his game. lamont would tear him a new ass on the inside.

                Lamont wins this one and brings home the belt. He is a much better counter puncher and his defense is much more tight. Lamont can match Bradley's work rate punch for punch and Lamont is more accurate, look for the double and triple left hooks to the body and head in this one. If the fight stays on the outside, Peterson has the reach advantage and the speed to use it, but I think this will be an inside fight, and that is where Lamont does his best work.

                  I think Peterson is capable of pulling off the upset, but I think Bradley will take a close decision.

                      I would agree that Peterson is the better inside fighter, as he doesn't square himself up like Bradley. Bradley mainly throws a lot of hooks, but Peterson incorporated uppercuts to go along with his left hook.

                      The only thing I don't like about Peterson is that a lot of times he has the really high guard and can't counterpunch as effectively as he is able. I think he also has a tendency to go into an Abraham like shell. If he does that a lot, it'll give the judges and crowd the impression Bradley is winning the round becaude he'll just keep throwing. Also, Peterson has average power, and if the left hook that Holt landed on Bradley couldn't deter him from coming in, what can Peterson hit him with that will?

                      Despite losing, I thought, Holt actually had the right gameplan to beat Bradley, but just wasn't active enough and he threw his right hand in too much of a chopping motion when he tried to counter over Bradley's lazy jab.
