i would say that Floyd often looks scared sh*tless at staredowns and on his way to the ring.... however he then goes on to dominate his opponent in ridiculous fashion !!
Go figure
Lol, I suppose you're right.
-Kirby-;10025914']I think Bradley is gonna annihilate him. Devon's laughter and his smile when the staredown was going on gave it away. He's scared shitless.

Bradley punched abregu with everything he had, even cought him flush a couple of times but abregu never went down.
Ones Alexander realises Bradley can't hurt him he wil let bradley swing wild at him while he counters with no risk.
Abregu is much, much bigger than Alexander and he was dropped in that fight, they called it a slip. Abregu was wobbled several times in that fight.....Alexander thinking Bradley can't hurt him is a foolish, foolish mistake.
For some reasos Devon Alexander is the underdog in this fight. I actually see him knocking bradley out.
Anyone with me?
I see two great boxers and athletes going at it tonight. The difference is that one guy has a gritty, warrior mentality and he has faced adversity and walked right on through it to dominate. The other guy seems more of a finesse boxer who has faced slight adversity once in his career and got a gift decision in that fight.
What is Alexander going to do f he gets dropped? How is he going to react? Is he going to rise to the occasion or will he look to his corner for answers? Will he crumble mentally? These are the intangibles that we don't have answers to regarding Alexander....Bradley has been there and done that. This is the biggest fight of both guys careers, that underlying pressure is going to be a huge factor once things stop going as planned for either guy.

im with u and got the betting slip to prove it
i got 8/1 for alexander to win by stoppage
this is such a good even fight with contrast of styles. some days i go with bradley and sometimes i think devon. i just hope its a great fight and the best man wins and the loser comes back better and smarter and not ruined.
I got Alexander as well, but Bradley will be the biggest road block of his career to date.
actually I think khan with his speed and reach advantage would be a tougher fight

if the fight is on the outside bradley will be doing more defense cause like i said tht jab is going to be out there, bradley has head movement but what fighter have u seen him fight tht throws 100 punches in a round n can match his speed? tht southpaw jab will on top of bradley's jab. bradley will be tryin to land tht right hand but devon will stay to his right taking bradley's right hand away, tht is going to make bradley go on the inside n cause him to catch a uppercut (remember me sayin tht). i think bradley is gonna be very reckless in this fight because devon is not gonna let bradley have his way with him n its gonna frustrate him. devon can improve his D but bradley can too, both will get tagged in this fight, but devon has a strong chin n bradley's is not tht strong, plus bradley is not a big puncher, 4 years since a ko n he is in his prime? so devon's chin n bradley's pitty pat punches is not something tht would worry me for alexander. devon on the other hand might fuc around n knock bradley out.
You seriously think Bradley throws pitty pat punches that can't hurt Alexander? Have you seen his last four fights or so? He always has his opponents hurt at some point, he is just a bad finisher.
Also, you're crazy if you think Alexander wins the inside battle against Bradley. Bradley has also been lasted by harder punchers than Alexander and taken it fine.
Bottom line is that Alexander only fights one way, and Bradley can fight a LOT of different ways. Once he finds what works, he will take over and crush Alexander.
Alexander is largely a one handed fighter
he made some slight adjustments in the mid rounds of the urango fight, but he wasnt being given a whole lot to look at
tim bradley is a very well rounded
he makes real adjustments to become more effective with his offense and get away from whatever his opponent is doing.
that being said there's some talk of tim bradley having trouble with the flu.
if he hasn't simply had a cold and he's had a run with the actual flu this close to the fight he could have some serious issues.
if he's under the weather in the ring he could have serious trouble because i dont see the fight being shorter than 12 rounds
I think Alexander has a chance to pull off the knockout.
I hope he does, but Bradley will be at his best on Saturday. He knows this is his biggest fight.
That's fine, as long as you don't have any illusions that Devon will outbox Bradley, like a lot of people for some reason do. Bradley is easily the best all around boxer at 140, so Alexander is going to have to turn this into a slugfest and hope Bradley isn't firing on all cylinders if he wants to win a decision.
knocking out? based on what assessment?
He seems very open for a Devon uppercut when he swing wildly.
but im not really impressed with Bradley or Alexander. Amir Khan would put them both to sleep if they ever fought
bruh, i been sayin this for a year now, devon finna **** bradley up. people keep talking bout devon flaws but bradley is flawed as well imo worst. look at both styles, bradley is fast but is very wild n a lot of times sloppy, he comes in with his head down, PAUSE....he comes in with his head down (uppercut), and he gets reckless when he gets hit, n since devon is more of a boxer than brawler, bradley will be countered.
Bradley only is reckless when he sees good openings. Since Devon has a tight stance, Bradley is gonna be the counter puncher in the fight.
bradleys best fight is on the inside cause he would be eating jabs n hooks all night if he fights on the outside.
I dunno about that....Bradley's got possibly the best head movement in 140 to be eating alot of punches. He only eats punches when he's in the inside.
devon is a southpaw got speed more reach, power and has the better jab, so i can't see devon getting outboxed.
Devon will probably do better against Bradley than he did against Kotelnik because of these said strengths but Devon's defense needs work in my opinion. He relies too much on his high volume which is the biggest disadvantage of a high volume puncher, they're vulnerable against a high timed counter puncher.
but when bradley goes to the body devon is going turn him n throw uppercuts. i can see bradley getting frustrated n throwing wild punches just going for it. devon got this fight.
I don't think Bradley is going to be that reckless going into this fight. Alexander i feel doesn't adjust enough in fights.
