good showing. 25 yrs old. lots of talent. still a bit green, but overall i was very impressed, and i now expect very big things from this kid. just what boxing needs. bravo kid!
lmao @ malinaggi trying to look like an MTV rapper with his blin blin.... i dont know why hes frontin, prettendin to be like eminem.. jCC jr have more money than him :lol1:
This fight was awesome. I like Tim Bradley. He's exciting and pretty vicious too. I always appreciate a hungry fighter. The straight right he clocked cherry with was a thing of beauty. It looked huge.
Do you think Paulie can handle Bradley though?
That's the million dollar question.
I don't think so. Paulies's lack of power is going to be his downfall whenever he faces the elite fighters. He's going to catch hell trying to keep Hatton off of him and I see a loss for him in that one alone.
His James Toney-like counter overhand right is a beautiful punch. KD'd Witter and Cherry. He doesn't have a ton of power, but enough to produce knockdowns and respect from opponents. Good speed, looks to have a strong body, and can slip punches well. Chin is still unproven. I look forward to seeing if he can develop fast enough to unify some titles.
Why would he fight an up and comer in Peterson when he already beat the WBC Champ WITTER.
He needs to fight Holt then not some up and comer.
even with the W over Witter it's not like Bradley's a household name yet.
then again 140 as a division isn't exactly star studded.
yeah prob unlikely that Peterson would get the fight, or want it even.
would like to see Holt/Bradley as Super Lightweight needs some unifications/big fights to get some shine back on the division.
The Real Deal?
Would beat Hatton?
Will unify the 140lbs division?
This not a case of some of you Yanks over-hyping your fighters again?
He looked decent last night, but against nobody really. Good defense, strong all-round game, dont know where you saw the power, cos he never seemed to me to have Cherry particularly hurt, even with the knockdown.
He looks a good prospect with solid fundamentals, but lets not start pushing to guy too far. He's going to have tougher title defenses than that he'll need to take care of before looking anywhere near the P4P list.
hey im an American and im saying give the kid some more time before we anoint him anything.
like making this topic after a victory over Edner Cherry? I mean it's good for Bradley that he got the win and all, but I'll reserve final judgment when he steps up in class vs the Elite of the division or another belt holder even.
yes I've seen him fight before and I'd like him to up his competition next fight or two. maybe Bradley vs Lamont Peterson by Middle of 09?
It was only after that fight he became Mr Hug'n'Hold and walked into punches.
I think he he thought he can still win fights without moving his head.Maybe hes Incorporated that more nowa days cause he knows how much stronger he is over his opponent !?
Anyhow i dont outwardly like him fighting that way !:sad2:
Thats when i enjoyed watching him the best !
I hate this smash then grab style he uses nowa days !

He dominated Witter apparently the most feared/most ducked!!!! jww out there, with ease!
He showed great composure ignoring all of Witters snake hands and that bollocks, and exposed the myth.I dont know ,i thought it was a close fight but the difference was the knockdown IMO !
Wasnt it a SD ???
If there was no knockdown whitter might of won!
But like i said i am so glad Bradley won !
Fucking hate the shitter whitter!
