      I think the 3 most important punches are Tim's left hook, straight right and Alexander's uppercut. Bradley's got a stiff jab though, that could potentially come into play.

      Bradley knows his strengths and Alexander's strength. That Urango knockdown combined with Bradley's knockdown at the hands of Holt.. Has to be a huge warning. I have difficulty imagining he won't be on super high alert for it.

        If Bradley is able to consistently land left hands (jab or hook) over Alexander's low right hand, he'll be in good shape to win.

        More than any punch, I believe whoever has the better foot position in regards to their lead foot will win.

          They both are going to rush in with their forehead and it's going to knock someone out. It depend on who have the bigger forehead.

              c'mon man. timmah's left hand is his only dangerous punche.

              timmeh's right cross is garbage cause he don't know how to turn over his punches. timmah's overhand right is better, but it's loopy.

              timmah's jab is not stiff. hearns clowned on his jab.

                Which is always interesting to see between southpaws and orthodox fighters.

                  Dude, Hearns was only focusing on Bradley's cross b/c he wanted him to throw with more pop. You have to realize Hearns can't help but feel everyone should have more pop b/c Hearns' cross was like a whip. Everyone's punch needs more pop compared to his own. It's only natural that someone with a particular strength would attempt to draw that out in someone else. So, lets put this myth to rest that all started with you watching yesterday's Hearns video. At multiple times in this video, but one of the more clear cases is at 55 seconds in slow motion.. The end of the Bradley does not turn his punches shennanigans. Not hating, Alexander's an excellent fighter. But here ya go:

                    If I had to go further with why Hearns felt the need to emphasize it more. It's probably b/c Bradley is working the mitts with a legend. A legend who is getting up in years, and Bradley is also winding down as it is fight week. He was likely just intending to do some easy mitt work. However Hearns has a lot of heart and was feeling the moment and went a little extra with it. Which I personally thought was pretty cool. However not an exposure of a fundamental flaw in Bradley's punching.
