    Bradley decisions Khan

    It'll be a lot similar to this fight except Bradley lands more over hand rights on Khan than on Alexander, common sense says a southpaws worst nightmare is a RIGHT, true, but those gotta be straight rights, Bradley's are wide and will tag Khan all night after his punches start losing steam around the 5th or 6th...

    Khan's speed will be a problem for the first third of the fight, after that Bradley will be cutting the ring off tagging that body and those over hand rights will be killing Khan..

    I see a 7 to 5 or 8 to 4 type decision for Bradley

      I really think Bradley's in and out bursts and combos give Khan trouble, even if Khan isn't as chinny as people expected I think the way Bradleys gets off short bursting combo's messes up Khan's rhythm. That said it's a pick'em fight for me 'cause Khan can jab pretty well.

        Very close fight, I pick Khan.

        Alexander throws arm punches and hits like a *****. Khan will be fast and explosive. Bradley doesn't punch anywhere near as hard as Maidana either.

        I want to say Bradley, but know it's a Khan win IMO.

          To me, Bradley-Khan is the real "superfight" at 140, not the matchup we saw tonight.

              But Khan is faster and more accurate than Alexander - I think he'll land more clean, effective punches.
              I think Alexander has better chin than Khan.

              And Khan is a orthodox as oppose to a southpaw.

              I'd rather fight a great orthodox fighter than a horrible southpaw.

                Khan is the best at 140, no question now.

                  bradley is a midget who can't handle speed and movement
                  Bradleys only chance is to make it a ugly fight.

                    Good points.

                    But I think Khan's great speed and technical skill will eventually be too much for Bradley.

                    I think Amir punches harder and more accurately than Alexander, so he'll do more damage.

                      Bradley's headmovement, bending his knees and doing the Pernell Whitaker impersonation, the jab with the right up top, are too much for Khan.

                      Khan has been getting used to easy to hit targets, fighting with a tight guard (which is also due to his fear of getting Prescott-ed again).

                      Once he realizes that he has to loosen up his guard to be more agile, that's when the wild punches from Bradley will start connecting, and I'd like to see if that Glass Jaw will hold up, even against a 11 ko fighter.
