Kendal Holt lost It!!! the inactivity the lack of passion/intensity. OMG i HATE inactive fighters like that he has no one to blame but himself his jab was crazy but he wouldnt throw it!! what a wasted opportunity less this be a lesson he is going to kick himself when he sees the tape. actually listening to him in the post fight he already KNOWS what he did wrong.
Holt was comprehensively out boxed. Even after 2 KDs, Bradley worked harder, wanted it more and deserved his win. Holt can only blame himself and his lack of work.
Bradley won fair and square, but Bradley does have weaknesses that Holt could of exploit, none the less Bradley isn't good as some people think he is.
I remember some fans say that Bradley will have a better career than Chad Dawson, yeah right.
nah i cant agree with that Dawson is the real deal

I think we could agree that Holt threw less and landed less though...
yeah definetly thats the risk you run when you only try to counter punch. You can end up getting outworked over the course of the fight
WOw!!!!!!!!!! Great comeback.
Is this a english class or a boxing forum?
Yea thats what I thought, and your getting owned at it.
SO STHU. and talk boxing!!!!!!!!!!
You didn't think anything because you obviously couldn't decipher from this or these so leave it alone mah man. Don't get all bent out of shape cuz people don't see things your way. That's why this is called a "boxing forum" where people comment on their opinions. Remember opinions are like assholes everyone has one. If you can't handle it...step away from the forum.
Showtime does a terrible job presenting fights.
they didnt even present the finally Punch stat numbers.
So we dont know how high Holt percentage was...

oh, ok, now I get it,
because it had nothing to do with Bradley.
Yea, your right.
:slap:
dont get me wrong bradley definetly did what he had to do to win cause obviously he could have just went into a shell after the knock down. he showed alot of heart and i love that. i just didnt see that same heart from kendall. and that is frustrating to watch
ok your opinion is that bradley imposed his will and thats what made holt not use the jab. My opinion is that holt was not committed to using the jab from the beginning. He thought he was going to be able to counter and catch bradley. Bradley was too fast and put in good work to the body since holt just let him in. IF the taller fighter fights tall, has a good jab and power in their favor they should have a easy time. holt had these advatanges and did not use them all the way he should have.

Thats a funny word, "if".
If Bradley had gotten out of the way of that punch, would he have got knocked down?
If Holt had the same tenacity and determination, could he have won the fight?
We won't know until they fight?
Oh wait,
they just did,
and Timothy Bradley just imposed his will on his opponent to take him out of his gameplan.

You are right bradley came in with the mentality that no matter what happens im comming forward i wont stop attacking and im working the body. He get nailed and could have easily let that deter him. but he got up and continued to come forward. if Holt would have came in with that same mentality the fight would have been different hold was taller had a 3 inch reach advantage if holt would have been committed to the jab bradley would not have been able to get to his body. but he wasnt which allowed bradley to get inside and work his body in the first place.

That's all I'm saying. Gallo negro does make a good argument but how hard is it to throw that jab especially when you're catching him every single time you throw it ?
But hey I'm not in the ring so WTF do I know ??
and what type of plan did Tito have other than swing for the fences?
Not a damn thing.
Kendall couldn't throw the jab as much because he was taking punishment to the body
every
single
round.
I don't know how much simpler it can be explained to you.
When a fighter abandons his best weapons, its not because he doesn't want to use them, its because the other fighter is imposing his will in some fashion making it hard for his opponent to employ his tactics.
Or do you really think Kendall thought to himself, "you know what, I'm just going to stop using my jab because I think I'll win the fight anyways since I knocked him down"?
Lets use logic here and not excuses.

Nope, sorry I disagree with you... in Mayweather vs De La Hoya if I recall rightly Mayweather was throwing less and landing more... so he had a higher percentage and higher punch connection. In this fight, Holt threw less and landed less as I recall... so he wasn't scoring any rounds.
That's my opinion anyway...

This fight reminds me of the floyd and oscar fight in this reguard.
Oscar was more busier and had a higher workrate
But Floyd landed the harder and cleaner punches.
and in that fight 1 judge gave the fight to oscar.
and 2 other judges gave it to mayweather.
it just goes to show you, that Some judges score workrate and Some judges score clean and harder punches.
and in this fight the rounds i give to Holt. I gave it to him because he landed the cleaner & Harder punches.
because bradley just like calzaghe will always have a higher workrate, but workrate doesnt mean shit if your punches are not doing any damage.
comparing bradley to calzaghe shame on you. don't dishonor a great champ like timothy. APOLOGIZE!
anyway bradley's "workrate" consists of actually landing punches where as calzaghes "workrate" is him just slapping air.

So you're going to tell me that a boxer can't keep his oponent off him with the jab alone ? I'll five you an example. Wright vs Trinidad. Wright beat him with the jab alone and did not let trinidad come in to score anything.
and what type of plan did Tito have other than swing for the fences?
Not a damn thing.
