Comments Thread For: Devon Alexander: Bradley, Stop Making Excuses and Fight!

[bray26]

After watching Alexander-Kotelnik, I sincerely doubt that anyone is scared of Devon........

I thought after the Funeka fight that I'd doubt anyone should be scared of Nate, but I bet you'd beg to disagree! I bet after that fight You still believed he was a great fighter that fought hard and gutted out a victory! And who ever faced him next was in trouble if they underestimated him! So Don't be a hypocrite. guys get tough fights against more skilled than expected fighters! Some decisions go your way, some don't! He fought a tough guy and got a decision that could have easily went the other way but it didn't! That doesn't take away from the fact that this kid is the truth and he can beat anyone at 140 right now!

Ok, now you're a poster that I usually like but I have to disagree with you here! U call this guy a liar but offer no facts of your own, just opinion! Bradley didn't make any more money fighting Nate than he would have had he fought Devon. And I'm sure if you asked One Punch he'd admit as much with out getting into specific numbers. Nate was a name and a fight team Bradley felt more certain of winning, period! I love Nate and having him on your resume is something to be respected but he was coming up in weight and had no belt! And if you want to be considered the top dog in your division, you think belts first, period! And im not gonna get into Shaw and the issue with money but the bottom line on that situation is he is under contract so whoever he fights in his next fight is with Shaw! Period! Not golden boy, top rank or who ever! So he should just get on with it! He's gonna make his biggest pay day with this fight! I'm not saying not to try to get all you can because as a fighter I think he deserves it, but there comes a point in time when you just have to man up and get things done! And he's not seeming willing to do that! So he does look like the hold up and the problem! Not his promoter of his opponent!

If you look at what I wrote the poster claimed that Bradley made the same/less money for fighting Nate when there is no evidence to prove it..I believe he was offered 150k(I may be wrong)to fight Devon(Once again I might be wrong)but there are no documents to prove what Bradley was paid to fight Nate..But I think that's what I remember..But if you have any info I'm all ears..But I know for a fact he got offered more to fight Campbell then Devon,Nate was more of a name at that point...Bradley is having problems with his own promoter not Devon's..Fact of the matter is yes,yes his next fight will be with Shaw but business is business and Shaw want's an extension on Bradley's contract which is unfair Bradley should not be bound to Shaw like his mule..Braldey has the right to shop around that's all I was trying to say..This poster(and even you)are trying to make it seem like an excuse when really it's a man's life and lively hood at stake and he wants to make the right decision for him and his family..Bradley never stated having a problem with the money being offered,it was the contract extension he has the problem with which would make him Shaw's fighter for the next two years more then likely..My real problem with the poster was he was calling Bradley a *****..The fight with the best resume at 140lb is a ***** it does not make sense..Does it too you??If you have any info on the money that was being discussed for the first bout with Devon and Bradley I would love to hear it..But my man wyout told me him self what the numbers was when they first talk bout fighting and noway it was more then he got to fight with Nate and Nate was more of a name at that point..All I was saying was his info was off but yet he delivered it as the truth...You have to correct that..No??

IMO bad example I thought Nate won the fight and look good doing it..Being the fact he had this tall rangy fighter who look like the real deal...Kottie had no advantage in that fight you really can't compare..

I understand what you're saying and for the most part i agree with what you're saying. Nate was a bigger name and more money I'm sure. Just not much more than a unification fight would have been. If advertised properly. I just thought you attacked him for giving an opinion and backed it up with an opinion of your own.'i think both of you make great points. Bradley, to me and in my opinion, doesn't really seem like he wants this particular fight! Almost seems like he wants any fight but this one. But I'm not gonna call him names and be disrespectful!I don't think that guy should have done that but I'm just confused on why he all of a sudden has all these problems. I'm with you, i think as a fighter he needs to be treated fairly and be in the best position to maximize his career earnings. Just seems odd that after all these years of fighting for short money, when he finally has a chance to make real money. There are all these internal problems. He needs to begin PR himself better. Because he looks like the problem now. Because didn't Shaw release a statement saying and extention wasn't holding up the fight? Not that promoters won't lie, but I'm saying, most things point to Tim! I also didn't agree with him moving up to fight abregu,don't know if I spelled that right, forgive me if I did, when Devon was there and willing to fight him in his division. If you want the superstars of the sport to fight you, make a statement by unifying your division. 3 belts sends a statement, not fighting abregu. He just seems like he's avoiding this fight for one reason or
Another. But on most everything you say, I'm with you

I think Nate won the fight too but i don't think he looked good doing it. Kotelnik is a good fighter, that's what's being lost in all this. I just think for a guy like one punch who has a guy that I think is unfairly criticized and written off after a less than spectacular performances would take a swipe at another fighter like that. One less than spectacular performance doesn't disqualify you from being a great fighter. And it seems all to often that that's what people want to do. This guy should have lost or had a tough night and all of a sudden he's exposed! No! Ever great fighter in the history of the sport has had a tough night! Hall of famers, mayweather, pac, all of them! It comes with the territory. And any given night anyone can be tested or bested! That's all I wanted to get across

This fight will happen,you have to understand Bradley is in the driver seat and loving it...He is also helping hype this fight right now..If they both already signed this fight it would not happen till Jan and where would the hype be??Now there is hype about where Bradley might go after his contract is up with Shaw..Bradley is scared.Talk's about Bradley and Khan,Ortiz ..You see what I'm putting down??Talk the fight will happen hear what Bradley said in the very start of the vid...

I totally agree with you..For me it was'int just the Kottie fight..It was some of the Urango fight as well..Because of the KO people forget Urango was winning on the scorecards Urango!!...I been saying it for awhile it has nothing to do with the Kottie fight,that just help me with how I felt bout Devon..My take on Devon is he is really skilled with great big holes in his game..The biggest being he fights like he is still in the amateur's..That can be fixed and he better fix it fast before he steps in with Bradley...

To all you Bradley fans. Let it be known that you are rolling with a p.u.s.s.y! Bradley is scared ****less of Devon. I know, I know, it’s hard for you die-hard Bradley fans to believe, but the facts speak for themselves. Without going into all the details, ALL THE REAL BOXING FANS know that Bradley has been ducking Alexander for years and that he gave up his WBC belt to avoid Alexander supposedly for being offered short money, but got less for his next fight.
Now Bradley and his manager have turned on their promoter whom offered Bradley 2 times his biggest payday to date (over a million dollars). HBO waited for the New Year and new budget so that they could pay fair market value for this fight. Now how is it that after all this time being with the same promoter they can’t come to terms. Alexander is the reason! Tiny Tim and his manager threw their promoter under the bus like any scared ass ***** does when pushed into a battle they can’t win.
It’s real simple. Bradley is scared ****less that he will be beat by Alexander, which in his mind would be devastating as it relates to his quest to get Mayweather or Paquaio in the ring. He also does not believe that Alexander’s performance against Kotelnik exposed sh.t. He is all talk and is trying to cash out before his first loss.
Final question: Why do you Bradley fans think Alexander has been trying to get in Bradley’s ass forever, while at the same time Bradley has been making every excuse in the book. Alexander has more HBO fights, more belts, more hometown fans, more punching power, more knockouts, etc, etc, but you bloggers may not know, but yo boy Tiny Tim knows!

Big Lou has it right and you Bradley nuthugging looser have it all wrong... Bradley is a bbittcchhh....

U clowns have no facts and don"t know anything about the biz,or the sport. Devon was winning on two of the judges cards before he ko'd urango.

Devon's not looking for old washed-up opponents so stop hating.
