Comments Thread For: Devon Alexander: "Bradley's Skill Level is Nothing Special"

[iloveboxing2]

Sure, nothing special....but Tim can win...

Mainstream doesn't want to watch skilled boxers, just boxing fanatics. So it doesn't matter who's the better skilled fighter. Unless one of them wins by KO..khan will get the lion's share if they fight Khan. If they win by KO, Pac would be the guy to go after.

This is why Alexander will lose this fight. When it comes to big fights like this when the opponents are equally matched, its usually heart that wins these battles.

WAR ALEXANDER!

styles make fights. bradley fights nothing like kotelnik!

When Floyd would say things about a fighter like "he's up and down, no special effects", I think that can apply to someone like Bradley. In the sense that there's nothing about him that really stands out, no Camacho-esque hand speed, no Tyson-esque power, Mayweather-like defense, etc....But that doesn't mean a fighter can't have a very successful career. Bradley is a solid, well-rounded fighter, and I think this would help him beat Alexander.

He's got a much better skill set than Alexander, so I really don't know where Alexander is going with this. Bradley has head/ upperbody movement, could fight from any range, pretty good power and hand speed.

Alexander is the one with the serious technical flaws, punches from too far out, doesn't move his head or body, no side to side movement, just straight back and forth. Has anyone here ever seen Alexander shoot a straight left hand and move to his opponent's left? because I haven't. I give Devon props for getting this far but if he doesn't fix those flaws...Bradley is gonna easily slice through him. This coming from someone who likes Devon as a person, seems like a really nice guy, as for his boxing...meehhhhhh :-/

bradley skills are mundane. his punch technique is garbage and he has arm punches, that's why he has no power.

the only thing bradley has is great conditioning and good mobility.

Alexander has the greater power and speed but Bradley has the better ring skills and experience. Let's see if Alexander can make up for underestimating Kotelnick.

Bradley is legit man. He's got a awesome work rate, he's accurate, and I think he's kind of an underrated puncher. He's gonna put a lot of leather on Alexander I think. Can't wait for this fight
