New Details for Bradley-Alexander according to ESPN

[Heru]

Bradley-Alexander is going to be a great fight. I have no problem with the immediate rematch because I know it'll be competitive regardless of the result.

I see Khan moving in the direction of trying to fight JMM after Maidana, instead of Ortiz.

Ortiz is already locked in as fighting on the Khan-Maidana undercard, so he must be expecting to get the winner, but if JMM is looking to move up if he beats Katsidis, then he will get the fight over Ortiz.

When these guys meet up for full unification, they will damn well deserve it (unless Khan fights JMM instead of Ortiz).

I'm sure JMM will be fighting Morales and not Khan.

whatever, I just want the initial fight to take place. worry about the rest later.

Pascal-Dawson wasn't particularly close, but I'm glad there's going to be a rematch, and Dawson will be the narrow favourite to win the rematch - although admittedly in that case, it's not an immediate rematch.

Williams-Quintana I wasn't close, but Williams sparked Quiantana in one round in the rematch.

Lewis-Rahnman I wasn't close, but Lewis completely turned the tables in the rematch and left no doubt that he was the better fighter.

It's fairly normal for a world title holder to insist on a rematch clause, and I don't see anything wrong with that. In the old days it used to be normal for top fighters to fight each other many times, not just twice, which is as it should be, because any sportsman can have a bad night.

Spain lost to Switzerland in the first round of the football World Cup, but Spain went on to win the tournament, and now Spain are ranked #1 in the world, and Switzerland are only ranked #21. Anyone can have a bad night.

Even when he was at his best, Tiger Woods didn't win every golf tournament, and in tennis, Nadal loses fairly frequently.

In boxing, almost uniquely among sports, boxers are expected to be at their best in every fight, but that's totally unrealistic.

I don't see why any neutral fan should object to them having a rematch. In your case, I suspect your real objection is that you want the Bradley-Alexander winner to be available to fight the Khan-Maidana winner immediately. But that's just partisanship on your part.

Yes it is. I want Amir to be unified champion at 140 in the first half of 2011. And move up to 147 in the 2nd half of 2011 to fight Berto or Ortiz. I don't think Ortiz can make 140 anymore.

Pretty happy about this, they have finally reached a deal and the rematch clause might give Ortiz a shot at the Maidana/Khan winner
