Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley Says: "Devon Alexander Was Exposed!"

[THE REED]

Kotelnik is clearly the better boxer between him and Urango. Kotelnik has the better timing jab and the better defense. Alexander just never was as good as advertised the Urango fight was close up until the stoppage and it wasnt the great performance it was made out to be. The kid is a young talented guy who will still have a solid career but he is nothing special period.

People really overlook the way the Urango fight was starting to turn before the stoppage...

Most people do if the fight ends in a stoppage.

It's like... it doesn't matter how the fight was going because he stopped him.

Well for that fight it may not matter anymore, but he still showed some probems that maybe Urango didn't have enough time to really expose, but future fighters are going too... like Sat night.

He was getting hit with those jabs even before the cut.

Lets just be honest here.

The lack of head movement is one of his biggest problems.

Offensively, he is wonderful... But he needs to use his footwork more to get in range closer so his punches mean more.

Punch THROUGH the guard, not at the guard.

And he needs to be slipping ducking and countering punches, not leaning straight back, or not at all.

Watch how much he moves his head while being across from Kotelnik as he fires... his head doesn't move.

There was very very litle head movement. The thing is the few times he did move his head while he was along the ropes, he did it very well, and made Kotelnik miss, but then what would he do?.. Throw a flurry at Kotalniks guard and move back in a line insead of cirling and get hit with a 1-2 flush in the mouth.

I agree 100% i dont get why people act like the Urango fight was some kind of special performance when it really wasnt. The uppercut that landed was a nice one but before that the fight was close and Alexander showed flaws. Im not trying to say that he is a bum but the hype was clearly unwarranted and i have been saying that for months.

He was a lot faster than Kotelnik but he wasn't landing anything and he was eating a lot of jabs.

lol at that idiot ledderman giving him all the rounds

That's not really occasionally to me.

Holt is also the biggest puncher in the division.

If Holt hit Khan with that same shot, the game would of been over.

I agree,luckily for Bradley his recovery is top notch!That's why I don't by when people say Khan takes the division,he doesn't walk through Bradley,Alexander,or Ortiz without taking big shots & if he gets caught cleanly,he may not be able to recover like Bradley does!!

While Devon OR Bradley are not defensive wizards... Bradley is CONSTANTLY moving and shifting his upper body, and his head never sits still... it's another reason he is tough to deal with. I think most people don't realize it until they get in the ring with him.

I know this much, Bradley vs Devon will be Bradley coming forward, and Devon back peddling the entire fight.

The big problem I see, is as Devon back peddles in straight lines with no head movement, and Bradley comes in with combinations and over hand rights..

And sure, Devon can shoot some shots at Bradley down the middle, but like I said before... Bradley uses excellent upper body movement as he moves in.. it will be easier for Bradley to get to Devon than the other way around... IMO anyway..

Right. Devon landed some excellent shots that dropped Urango twice, and credit to him for it. But he also showed signs of pressure being able to get to him.

That fight proved to me what I have always known.

Speed is one of the best assets to have in boxing.

But timing is better.

When you have both... that's when you're special.

His conditioning and overall body strength is what got him up from those shots. Not too mention his determination and unwillingness to lose..

Khan beats them all with Freddy Roach in his corner.

If he wears a football helmet or doesn't get hit more than once a round then yes, but he is hittable and got KOed by the last puncher he faced which was almost tw years ago.
