Why Bradley beats Devon

[bojangles1987]

There is no debate that Bradley is more skilled than Alexander, and Bradley has beaten fighters more skilled than Alexander.

No matter how someone fights, Bradley has shown he can adjust, find something that works, and beat you down. Alexander has great talent and is fast, that is no where near enough to even threaten Bradley, his only chance is a KO punch.

Bradley vs Alexander is going to be a classical fight. But when the smoke clears, it will be Bradley still standing. He is the better boxer, he has just as much heart and speed as Devon.If that kid last night could touch Devon that often, then Timothy is going to make him think he was being attacked by a bee hive. Honestley, Alexander might not be as good as Peterson. I can't wait for this fight to happen.

Call me crazy, but I really wonder if Alexander is as good as Peterson. People just write off Peterson because Bradley beat him so convincingly, but Peterson has more skills than Alexander has shown me.

if I was a ******** man I would put all my Money on Bradley myself because he is more seasoned and battle tested but at the same time I would not be shocked one bit if we see a totally different Alexander against Bradley and Alexander beats him, Alexander has the talent and the skills to beat Bradley, it is just all about him putting it together

big fan of both fighters and I think it would be a CLASSIC match up, as a Alexander fan I think he should fight Kotelnik again first before fighting Bradley

AGREE! Peterson is being passed over and overlooked JUST because he lost to Bradley, I still think Peterson beats most of the guys in his division if given the chance

Devon didnt know how to adjust yesterday. He jept using the same combo throughout the whole fight....jab, jab, left cross and was extremely robotic and predictable

He gets outboxed by both Bradley and Khan

i agree, and in many points in the fight was just very predictable.

it seemed like he just wanted to land the punches that clearly were not landing.

hope the kid bounces back

TBH I think Peterson was one of Bradley hardest fight other then Holt.Peterson was a monster on the inside and made Bradley fight when he did not want to.I would love to see Peterson fight Khan or Devon cause I think he has what it takes to beat either one of umm.

Peterson showed some grit Sat..I knew he could do it if giving the chance..

I remember watching Bradley as an up and coming prospect and - particularly his fight against Manuel Garnica - and thinking...who the **** is this guy? That's next pound for pound king. I don't know if he'll reach those lofty heights but I'm surprised how underrated he is on these boards. Maybe I was the only one impressed by his performance against Abregu but I was. Aside from his habit of leaving his chin up in the air, he excels at every part of the sport and I'd pick him to beat the other top fighters at junior welter and most of the welters as well.

Don't know why people act like he didn't look good against Abregu. He totally outclassed a rough fighter in his first fight at welterweight. How is that not impressive?

Not sure he is physically talented enough to be a top 2 or 3 p4per, but he will beat anyone at 140 easily IMO. Once he is ready for welterweight full time, maybe he'll get more recognition.

Quality post - agree with everything you said. His physical limitations are what hinder him a bit but he's damn good. Can't wait until January because I do think Alexander will pose some problems.
