hes a qualty fighter hes the type of fighter who doesn't have a single championship attribute and doesn't have a single good punch. instead he scores very well on all the cards, hes no floyd but hes got enough speed to beat you with the jab all night, hes no cotto but has enough pop to keep you off him and hes not got hatton's hyper agression or the slickness of paulie but hes equally adept at fighting off the front and back foot.
imo if he beats holt he needs a big fight against a big name opponent. that isn't hard considering the quality of fighters that are in the division. judah, nate campbell, hatton, pacman, malignaggi maybe even JMM.
right now i think a fight with nate campbell would be a good opportunity for bradley, nate is getting on now and will jump at the chance of getting a belt. you could argue that hes going to be going for hatton/pacman but honestly i think they are out of his league. judah is another winnable fight, one that would show us just how good his chin really is.
bradley imo will unify the WBO and WBC against holt, and hopefully after the defence against nate will be able to take on hatton/pacman.Comment

Tim Bradley really showed great determination against Holt. That left hook that Holt caught him with was crucial, and it did not deter Bradley one bit or even really hurt him badly. He also did some great body work and was able to get inside of Holt at will (although Holt let it happean somewhat). Bradley has an interesting style though.
A couple things I did not like was how Bradley left himself wide open to often (mostly because he was throwing a ton of punches, sometimes crazy wild ones). Also he really does not sit down on his shots (although when he goes to the body those punches seem to have more juice on them).
He is a very exciting to watch aslong as you can deal with the akwardness and rough housing.Comment

bradley is a strong guy, but he could use some work. he needs a real trainer to polish up his game. as of right now bradley is just running off his excellent conditioning, determination and natural abilities.
I think bradley just willed himself to win against holt.Comment

He is not a sound technical boxer that is for sure, he has fast hand and does some nice things on defense so he does not hit at will, but he throws some wild shots and leaves himself very open to be hit.
Now really I do not know who can hit him better with one shot in the 140 pound division than the left hand that Holt caught Bradley with. At 140 he will be pretty hard to beat I think, although Victor Ortiz with some more seasoning would be an interesting fight.Comment
