By Keith Idec - NEW YORK — When it was relayed to Timothy Bradley this week that Amir Khan indicated he could go toe-to-toe with Marcos Maidana, rather than try to out-box his heavy-handed opponent, Bradley scoffed.
“He’s crazy,” Bradley exclaimed. “He’s going to be running all night. Once he feels that boy’s power, he’s going to be running all night. I’ve watched Maidana train in California. That boy can punch. He puts holes in bags.”
Bradley has studied Maidana closely because Bradley was supposed to fight him June 19 in Rancho Mirage, Calif. Maidana mysteriously withdrew from their fight a day before the official press conference, which prompted Bradley to make his official welterweight debut a month later against then-undefeated Luis Carlos Abregu.
The unbeaten Bradley could still encounter the Argentinean power puncher, though.
The WBO junior welterweight champion expects Maidana (29-1, 27 KOs) to defeat the highly skilled Khan (23-1, 17 KOs) tonight at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, and that he’ll overcome Devon Alexander (21-0, 13 KOs) on Jan. 29 at The Silverdome in Pontiac, Mich.. That scenario could set the stage for a Bradley-Maidana match on HBO later in 2011, unless Bradley becomes a more legitimate player in the Manny Pacquiao sweepstakes. [Click Here To Read More]
