    Bradley will not knock Khan out, I'm pretty sure of that. I think he has average power. It takes snapping power shots to crack Khans chin, not just thumping power. Prescott has this weapon, although he's a trash fighter regardless. Bradley does not have this. Most of the flashy shots that Bradley has landed were on fighters who fight off-balance like Witter, Abregu, and Cherry. Khan is much more sturdy now that he's with Roach, and his hands are always up which will deplete a lot of snap that a power punch might have. I can't see Bradley KO'ing him because he's the sort of fighter that would rather tag you to win a round rather than be like a fighter like Maidana and go for the KO. Look at how Bradley was hurting Abregu with counter shots and he NEVER followed up. It was frustrating to watch. Abregu has no defense, but Khan does now. How do you expect Bradley to finish a fighter with a defense if he couldn't against a fighter that had no defense and was hurt multiple times? Let's not forget Abregu has just as bad a chin as Khan, if not worse. We've seen Abregu hurt 10x more throughout his career than Khan.

    Khan by decision.

      Bradley never followed up b/c Abregu is fairly sturdy and Timmy was well ahead on scorecards. In a competitive fight against Khan, who is less durable and who may also be neck and neck on the cards.. Bradley will be more inclined to follow up and/or sit down on some of his punches. B/c getting Khan out of there would be safer than the cards. Especially if at some point in the fight Bradley is arguably down on the cards, which could very well happen.

          Khan is not ready yet. This will be THE fight at 147 in a year or two.

              Abregu is a bigger puncher then Khan and most dangerous when hurt..
              Bradleys trainer told him not to go after Abregu but to use his skills to out point him,which he did..I was very impressed with the skills Bradley showed in that fight..To Khans credit he has also grew as a fighter which is why I think this will be Bradleys toughest fight..I just think Bradley has that extra something,but if Khan can get past Maidana it will mean he proved he has a lil something extra himself..

                problem with brad is his power n pop, he has none,

                he is very skilled and has mad stamina.

                thats what seperate him from being a decent fighter and a top fighter.
