Timothy Bradley: “Kendall Holt Needs to Respect Me”

[mathed]

I have never seen Bradley fight before, but he looks like a beast. Holt is ok though his chin looks suspect to me. I saw Bradley either KO's him or wins by wide UD. Holt will underestimate him and pay for it.

It looks like Bradley has a lot of decision victories...I will go with the UD win here as well.

this is a decent scrap. The winner definitely will be top contender to Hatton's crown should he beat Pacquiao. There is some real talent finally bubbling up in this division and when the "Big Boy" (Hatton) is gone (I don't see Manny staying at 140 if he beats Hatton) there will be a handful of credible and tested contenders to stake their claim to the 140lb crown.

i agree with everything u say, except that manny willl likely stay at 140 if he beats hatton, although neither holt nor bradley will get a shot at manny. manny will fight jmm and then retire if floyd does not come back.

if hatton wins, he will call out floyd and if he doesnt get him, i think hatton might fight jmm and then retire.

regardless, the winner of bradley/holt should be able to fill the void in the division.

I think Bradleys knockout percentage doesnt give any account of the punching power he really possesses.

If I had to make a ranking, Bradley would be my number one. The Witter fight was close, but I think Witter is a really good fighter, too, and it was not a controversial decision. Actually I predict the exact same thing Bradley does He will come forward, Holt will try to counterpunch and sooner or later Bradley will catch and probably stop him.

For sure, its a great matchup and I cant wait to see it. Maybe Ortiz will fight Kotelnik or Urango pretty soon and maybe the other one can fight the winner of this fight for 3 belts. That would be great.

Is the Witter-Alexander eliminator going to happen by the way?

There's nothing not to like about Kendall Holt...He's strong and has a genuine mean streak...I like that in a fighter, but I think Bradley has just enough movement to get away from Holt's big shots. Kendall looked the best he ever did against D-Hop, but I noticed he firmly plants before he throws every punch - something Bradley MUST exploit if he's gonna win this one.

Bradley called it himself. He's too nice to talk smack. Just fight.

I can't wait for this fight. Finally some unification!

Bradley sounds like a top bloke, so I hope he manages to add a bit to his slightly sparse KO record and floor this guy. Then he should go after Urango and Kotelnik.

this is gonna be a war!! The winner should fight the winner of Pacquaio-Hatton for undisptued champ but we know thats not gonna happen. Hopefully the winner fights Uranguo then the winner of Pacquaio-Hatton would have to fight them. Cant wait!! I got Bradley all day.

This is goin to be a good fight! I doubt its a shoot out though! They may talk trash but they respect each other tremendously. So we will see a methodical technical bout til someone gets clipped and has to fight!

This is definitely going to be a good fight. I think this may even be a shootout but I think Holt has more power than Bradley. I like both fighters very much, but I have to give the slight edge to Holt since he is my age, and I am from Jersey (close to Patterson) my self, so I have to ride with home team on this one. And Holt is quite a bit taller than Bradley as well. It is extremely obvious in the stare-down pictures. I think that gives Holt another advantage and the fact that he has faced better opposition. Still can go either way though, but I am riding with HOLT!
