    Timothy for my money. He's just soo rounded a fighter its remarkable. He manages to be an agressive inside volume puncher while a slick speedster, plus he takes risks. Easily one of the most exciting fighters out there and he fights everybody....the fact that most folks on these forums would rather give hype to guys like Maidana and Valero etc. is mindboggling.......but thats an entirely seperate issue..


    Anyways Devon is really impressive, great jab, but he does have holes in his defense and he does get caught quite a bit. But other than Witter and his usual antics I've never seen Timothy in there with a lefty. Its a great fight man, a GREAT GREAT fight. In fact the prospects of this matchup are just as exciting (if not moreso) than the one I've got in my avi.

    My take is that the fight needs to be built up a little bit more. Its a shame that two young champions with speed, skills, heart and exciting styles could be potentially fighting and all the forums care about is Khan and Maidana and Ortiz and all of the other cowards at 140 who turned down fights with both of these men.

      I think its a 50-50 fight but I slightly give Bradley the edge to get a very close decision.

        Good post, Golden Boy seem to have hijacked the attention at LWW. The two real fighters in the division are Bradley and Alexander and Bradley is not getting the media attention he deserves.Ortiz,Khan and Maidana are not on his level and IMO never will be.

          Definitely think it's a lot closer than before. I think Bradley would have a lot of problems with Devon's size and length, but I think Bradley can get inside and tire him out. We will see. It's definitely one of those fights than can be huge in 2011 if they want to build it up.

            That is VERY possible. But Bradley is good man. I wanted this fight next. But the more I sit back and look and everything, it will probably be best for them to let it build more and more. Sort of like the JuanMa-Gamboa fight. I just hope that neither one of them ends up losing before meeting each other.
