WBO junior welterweight champion Timothy Bradley is scheduled for a junior welterweight unification with WBC king Devon Alexander on January 29. The WBA champion, Amir Khan, returns on December 11 against mandatory challenger Marcos Maidana. HBO is going to televise both fights. The network is going to push for the winners to face each other in a fight to establish the best boxer at 140-pounds.
Bradley is anticipating a win over Alexander, and he expects Maidana to beat Khan. He gives Khan the edge in skill, but believes the power and solid chin of the Argentine boxer is going to pull him through. After Maidana beats Khan, Bradley plans to challenge him.
"Maidana is a big puncher with a good chin, and that's it. Skill-wise? Maidana has no skills. Zero. He's a straight-forward fighter," said Bradley. "But after Maidana gets through with Khan -- who is going to knock his a** out -- and after I'm done whipping up on Devon Alexander, I'm going to show Khan how to beat Maidana. I really think that Maidana is going to beat him. Khan has a glass jaw."
