[FULL]HBO Face Off: Tim Bradley vs. Devon Alexander

[Carpe Diem]

Watch out for that forehead...

It's funny to me that people talk about Bradley's lack of punching power when Alexander lacks in that department as well.

alexander has above average to average punching power. bradley has below average punching power. this is due to their different punching techniques.

just look at alexander's punching technique. it is textbook and therefore should maximize for power.

if you look at bradley's punching technique it is subpar. bradley is an arm puncher. plus his punches are too loopy.

thanks a lot for posting this.

anyone else surprised how willing Bradley was to say Devon takes and throws a bigger punch? that's pretty rare to hear from a fighter so you got to give him props for being honest.

I hope this fight lives up to the hype. I guarantee that the loser of this fight will be deemed "washed up" and "overrated" by all of the experts here on NSB. You lose once and this board wants you to retire. Instead they should be praised for actually fighting legit live opponents.

With that stiffness Alexander will never maximize for power. He is well coordinated though.

Great! Can't Wait!!!

Yea, I saw this last night at the house! It got me pumped! Devon is going to bounce back from the Kotelnik fight!

Damn, I'm really liking Tim more and more each time I hear him talk.

Tim knows what his weaknesses and strengths are and is not ashamed of admitting it.

Devon comes over as a naive and ****y boy. He needs to get back down to earth and Tim is the perfect man to do it.

You don't understand the mind of a fighter, you have to come in confident, borderline ****y. You cannot even imagine a loss or see your opponent as better than you, if that's the case, what are you even doing in the ring with him?

It's the mental build up to a fight, that's all it is.

Both of these fighters have been in the ring long enough to develop technique. The reason Bradly isn't the puncher Alexander is, is simply because he doesn't have the natural power.

Power, speed and chin are things you are born with, you can improve power and speed to a certain extent but in the end, natural speed and power are God given talents.
