Comments Thread For: Alexander: Straight Punches Are Going To Kill Tim Bradley

[Ko King 212]

I agree. Bradley is also consistent. But you are right about him not looking that great in his best wins. Alexander is the better boxer but can be hot and cold. A focused, determined Alexander will outbox Bradley. A weak minded, poor conditioned Alexander gets eaten alive by Bradley.

You smoking that **** to huh. Alexander was getting boxed against Juan urango.

I'm convinced dudes don't watch fight bs and just like talking out there azz.

I believe that Alexander has the edge in power and if he fights smart he can win. But Bradley looks focused and ready to beat back the young boys trying to gun for him. It's 50/50 to me.

WBC junior welterweight champion Devon Alexander says Tim Bradley, the WBO champ, has been avoiding him for some time. They unify on January 29. Alexander feels that HBO, which is televising the fight, forced Braldey's hand in taking the contest. He claims to have chased Bradley several times in the past and received nothing but excuses regarding a possible fight.

I got 100k on Bradley..... anyone keen ?

Depends on what version of Alexander shows up. But I certainly feel Alexander is the better boxer and his straighter punches could make a big difference in this fight. Bradley has stamina and workrate. He's not really an elite boxer so to speak, he gets away with being awkward and is conditioning his top notch.

I think people don't watch Bradley as close as they should..Bradley can fire straight punches as well,he throws looping shots to get around ya defense..I think this fight will come down to two things..

1.Bradley has better movement and adjust to the fighter in front of him better then Alexander does..

2.Bradley is by far the more accurate puncher of the two,this imo is the biggest problem for Devon and if it is not fix by fight night I expect Bradley to dominate Alexander..

Bradley is going to spank Alexander. I want to see Khan Bradley and Alexander Maidana after this fight.

I don't think he is awkward. He is amazingly conditioned, throws a good amount of punches, and keeps the pressure on his opponents. However the fact remains, a guy of his calibre is supposed to beat and look good against the people he has been facing (Abregu, Holt, Peterson) I'm not sure he will look as impressive when he fights a genuine, world class fighter who is in his prime like Alexander. The outcome of this fight is no forgone conclusion as most commentators believe it to be.

I'm gonna have to disagree with part of this post,Alexander is a very talented guy but imo he would have had trouble with the fighters Bradley beat esp Peterson..Devon imo did not look great against Urango,he had a great finish but threw out the fight did not look like a world class fighter(as you put it)and we all saw the robbery that took place when he fought Kottie..

So let me see if I got this right,Bradley was not impressive against top ranked guys in his weightclass that he dominated??Dude not one of his fights were close he beat these guys and leftno doubt and you say that was not impressive??If anyone has not been impressive its Alexander..Urango was in the fight beforehe was KO'd and Kottie beat him..This post lost you some points imo..

i think they both move around quite quick,both good ish hand speed,both have some power.

think both dont have much of a defense,niether has a high guard,bradley ducks down and moves his head sometimes.

i think bradley with his wild swings will get him in trouble,alexander does have straight punches and will catch bradley,he also has a good upercut too.

i think khan is faster than both for hand speed and footspeed,movement,with just as good power,and better footwork too.

I just have more faith in Bradley to adjust and eek out the win, he has proven intangibles that we have not yet seen from Devon. Really looking forward to this one, although Montiel/Donaire is the best upcoming fight imo.

Mark my words. Bradleys downfall will be fighting a fast paced-straight shooter with good footwork. But thats not Alexander. Thats Khan. Khan will be the first to beat Bradley.
