Timothy Bradley: I'm Going To Destroy Devon Alexander!

By Mark Vester

WBO junior welterweight champion Timothy Bradley has vowed to put a beating on his WBC rival, Devon Alexander, when they clash on Saturday at the Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan. Bradley thinks Alexander took this fight too early in his career and he should have waited a little longer. He doesn't feel Alexander is seasoned enough.

“In a sense, I still do think it's too early, and you're going to see why Saturday night, when I destroy Devon Alexander. You're going to see why. It's too early for him. He's 23 years old. He's a great fighter. But I'm seasoned. I'm 27 years old. I'm in my prime. It's my time. It's my destiny,” Bradley said. “

Bradley said he took the fight with Alexander because none of the other top names at 140-pounds were willing to face him. He was rejected by Victor Ortiz, Marcos Maidana and Amir Khan.

“I had really nowhere to turn to. I had no other options out there. The boxing fans and the media, everybody was asking for this fight and I was like 'Hey man, we've got to do it. There's no way out. There's nobody else who wants to face us.' Nobody wanted to face me or Devon,” Bradley said.
