My assessment on Khan VS Bradley, and prediction.

[Check]

Honestly, a fight between these two guys is just too close to call. I think Tim will struggle with Devon, like Khan did Maidana but styles make fights. Tim and Amir are the best at 140 and their matchup is so even it's absurd.

Khan is fast, but he gets tried I feel.

Bradley is very fast too, not potshot speed, but if you watch how he clsoes the distance and lands that right hand, it is almost unavoidable.

Yes I agree Khan has hand speed maybe top 5 in the world, but there's not much in it.

Hnad speed and range is great if you can control that range, and with Bradley, it's not easy. He puts on the pressure and throws a lot of shots.

true but bradley will have to cover up when khan throws and wont be able to counter him and khan will be too quick

khan wont be using a lot of movement as bradley wont be pinning him to the ropes, so he should save more energy that way really

its not going to be easy but i think bradley could even lose to alexander, i really think the guy has something to prove before he can be considered on the level of khan

I pretty much agree but in the end when you have two guys who are 50-50, the difference is usually speed, reach, jab and movement. in and out fighting also helps and khan does have better traits imo than bradley in them

I'll believe it when I see it. I think Bradley is on another level than Khan, and handles him easily.

Another thing that you need to look at is recovery factor. Although Tim is not a powerful guy, his speed is great and if Khan doesn't see a good punch he might be a bit out of it. Khan has been awful when it comes to recovery, a good punch causes him problems throughout the remainder of the fight. On the other hand, Tim has great recovery, one of the best.

For Khan to win this fight he is going to have to blister Tim with many shots and not punch himself out. His stamina is going to have to improve from last night because Khan rarely had to move in the first 6-8 rounds against a plodding Maidana. Tim will move and Khan will need to be ready to move all over the ring for 12 rounds.

Erm Devon does not sue his southpaw style too well. He is too open and relies on power. A messy fight plays into Bradley's hands.

Why and how? Peterson basically lost to Ortiz IMO and both are still green anwyay, Campbell is shot, Cherry is shot, Witter has been on the slide for ages and never that great, Holt is shot and ****. Abregu I don't even know.

I can't see Bradley on that another level as I once did. His willingness to fight the best is great though.

Khan covers up also when he gets pressure on him, this is the point Bradley throws 6 punches and wins a round.

Bradley doesn;t box in the mdidle that much, he actually puts on pressure and moves a lot. VS Witter he boxed quite well, but everyone else he goes for it.

Alexander can not control range, has no defence and can not answer to a jab and right hand. What sold him before was his power, and right now I can't see him KO'ing Braldey or Khan.

I don't see how Khan beats Bradley...

I think Bradley will get in the inside and rough him up.

exactly...bradley's inside game makes him the complete package. khan looked like **** everytime maidana got close. i think ppl on this site are too wowed by the spectacular combo punches that they lose track of the intangibles.

khan is gonna have a hard time if he doesnt develop a close-range game.

Maidana doesn't have quick feet, and if he was able to get close to Khan you know Bradley will. And, Bradley is much more skilled than Maidana so he will put in real work inside.

Bradley wins, I can't see Khan winning that fight. I don't even think they will take it...They will fight a Judah or even a Maidana rematch before getting in their with Bradley....

Now Alexander, if somehow Alexander wins. I can see Khan beating him. Alexander is just too stiff has no head movement at all.

@ TS.

Khan is a big puncher, he just rarely sits down on his punches. In this fight he had to constantly be on the move to avoid Maidana's power - he was circling to Maidana's left to avoid his big right hand. Against Bradley, who has vert little power compared to Maidana, Khan can afford to sit down on his punches more. But Bradley is quick and can capitalise, but Khan is slightly quicker.

Anyway, I'd give:

Power: Khan; A. Bradley; C.
Speed: Khan; A+, Bradley; A.
Defense: Khan; B. Bradley; B or B+.
Footwork: Khan; A. Bradley; A.
Heart: Khan; A+. Bradley; A or A+.
Chin: Khan; C. Bradley; B.

Khan also has a 4inch height advantage and a big reach advantage.

Khan wins by UD (7 rounds to 5) or stops Bradley early on (catches Bradley off-guard and punishes him with quick, clean combos and body shots).
