Bradley's onl problem is he throws wide hooks inside. He is a very sound boxer though with a great jab, and a great right hand. He understands distance, and he can exchange inside. Like I said though he throws wide inside and he can be countered. Alexander doesn't hit as hard as Holt though, he's not going to clip Bradle like that.

He can back a guy up but he hasn't knocked out anyone good in his last 9 fights.
I thought he could at least dent chinny Holt with his pillows but he couldn't even drop him once.
Instead he got dropped. LOL.
Maybe it's his short arms and leverage on his shots.
He does work hard in the ring and is pretty quick.
He will win decisions ala Cory Spinks because of his pillow fists.Comment

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.
Only problem with that is, Alexander coils into everything cause he's too rigid and stiff, which is the type of thing which could make it easier for Bradley to slip inside his leads.
Alexander commits too much to his punches cause he's too stiff imo, which is why I question how effective his long range game will be. Bradley is a good mid range fighter who works the angles well, he has to be, cause of his lack of height.Comment

He claims to have chased Bradley several times in the past and received nothing but excuses regarding a possible fight.

I always thought he'd be able to hurt Khan based on a few of the knockdowns the one over Witter especially. That right hand over the top looked like that had some steam on it.
But now Khan has taken a beating from Maidana, I'd pick Khan over Bradley.Comment

The thing to realize about the Maidana fight is this,you can see Maidana's punches coming..Bradley's you will not be able to see umm they come fast and Bradley throws it when in range and does not really load up wit it..Punches that hurt Khan are ones he never seen coming,the shot that caught him in the 10th rd against Maidana was a punch he never seen coming..Comment
