Comments Thread For: Bradley vs Maidana is a Done Deal For June 19

[pistol whip]

I doubt Bradley has the pop to stop Maidana, but as long as he doesnt get drawn into an inside slugfest then it should be an easy UD for Bradley. Even the horribly flawed Cayo was doing ok against Maidana until he let Maidana get inside...............

Until he let Maidana get inside? Yeah I'm sure Marcos had nothing to do with getting on the inside.


Plus when did Bradley become a slickster boxer? He's gonna trade with Marcos somwhere in the fight thats for sure.

you dont get it.
a bradley/alexander fight next wouldnt generate enough money to be worth the risk for EITHER fighter. whereas in the future it could maybe end up on PPV if they both take care of their business as expected.

mate it would take at least 2 years to get these guys into PPV level, with them having some big wins/exposure on the way, they can make themselves stars by fighting each other, they can always fight again at a later date if they become PPV stars, i say get it on at the end of the year or early 2011

Because of styles. Bradley will keep it an outside fight and pot shot Maidana, who is tough, but not Margarito tough. Ortiz showed that he can be hurt and possibly broken with the right style.

It'll be a great fight though. Competitive and exciting on the inside. In between that though I see Bradley controlling the fight from the outside.

you cant pot shot a much bigger and stronger man than you are...

Bradley by UD

Yes! I've been waiting for this for a while now.

Yeah i dont see this as a particularly tough fight for Bradley, maidana can hit but hes not really that good at anything. He'll try to work Bradleys body but he'll get hit far too often coming in and it wont be competitive by the end. V. wide points decision to bradley, who'll surely fight the winner of khan/paulie next because of the timing of the fights

great news. Timothy should win with dicipline but I have learned to respect Maidana and I enjoy watching him fight. He will no doubt test Bradley.

Holt put him on his ass twice, and Maidana is a big puncher who won't give up. I expect Bradley to hit the canvas at least once.

...exactly. I'm surprised everyone is practically overlooking Maidana. He's easily the most aggressive fighter in the division, he sure as hell can hit, and he has some speed to him. I don't think the light-hitting Bradley (5'6") can hold off the hyper-aggressive KO machine Maidana (5'9") for a complete 12 rounds. I can't see it happening.
