Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley vs Devon Alexander Deal is Getting Close

[Rome-By-Ko]

IDK lil bro. Timmy was wide with his shots way too often to even be in the ring with Floyd. It was the dog in him that enabled him to keep pressing the attack, but he had Abregu hurt a couple of times and couldn't put him away. Also you have to take into consideration the style match ups. Tim didnt have to shoot the same type of angles in the Abregu fight that he had to in the Witter fight, which shows me that he has the skills but only applys whats needed at the moment; whereas Devon has streamlined his shots beater each fight that I've seen. And the most important thing that I saw Devon do was adjust and set traps better. The uppercut that Urango ate was set up. He dropped back to get Urango to come forward and slipped the uppercut in underneath Juan leaning. That was studying the opponent in the ring and making an adjustment. I think Devon's defense could use some work, as he was gettin caught with shots that he shouldn't have. But he's got the same type of dog in him the Tim has and was willing to take one to give one. Thats what I remember seeing from him. But you right Devon has all the questions to answer more so than Timmy does.

He did set traps for Urango but we all know Timmy B is no Urango.

I keep hearing that Bradley is overrated but I've been watching him since he was a prospect and, after reading these boards, I'm beginning to think he's underrated.

I agree with you.People call him a hype job like he is Con or something.Timmy to me has grown alot from beating witter to now.He looks like a more fluid boxer now.He looks like he is learning.I only seen Devon like twice he looks good but I did not see any growth but in all fairness I only seen him twice.I will be watching closely at his next fight.....

Yeah, I definitely think Alexander looks the part but I want to see more. I feel like I have more tape on Bradley and I have to admit, I'm impressed by what I see. I remember the first time he fought on ShoBox. He was so sharp. I haven't even really seen him use those skills again (maybe in the Peterson bout) but I have seen many other dimensions to his game. He is a solid, solid fighter.

You sound crazy bro.Bradley is the most proven Jr WW in the game other then Pac.Im not saying Devon can't win this fight the kid is highly talented and can do his thing.But to discredit Bradley is crazy out of anybody still in the JR WW class Bradley has fought the most top fighters Bradley is not hype he is a proven fighter who has more to prove.And just like every fighter you always have more to prove until you hang umm up.

I never said Bradley wasn't good. I respect his game, but the fact that is using money as an excuse to avoid Alexander is a ***** move. I would understand if he was a big draw, but his not. Alexander has earned his shot, but Bradley is trying to low ball Devon because he knows Devon is hungry and coming to kick his ass. So know Bradley is just looking to cash out cause he knows his ass whooping is just around the corner.

I agree they both look good we just have seen more of Bradley.He has alot of skills(Bradley)so does Devon I say it's really 50/50.But I just favor Bradley from what I seen from both of umm.

But dude Boxing is about Money bottom line.You want to prove your the best but no person in their right mind is not thinking about the money brother.Name me one fighter who is not thinking about the money??

[Shabba Rank$]

I can't wait for this fight to get done!

There's some bad blood between the two.

This is going to be a great fight I think Devon wins he will pressure Bradley all night long back him up keep that Jab in his face maybe a KO win but mostly it will be a 12 rd UD for Alexander

Like I said, if Bradley was a draw then yes I would understand, but his in no position to demand such. I mean HBO is willing to back the fight. What the hell is the hold up. Is Bradley wanting a 90% split? I mean come on his no Floyd or Pac to be making demands and grid locking the division.
