Why Bradley beats Khan?

[Rome-By-Ko]

u call those uppercuts? lol

khans uppercut is strong very strong. u need to watch more of his fights. the facts r he wont even need to throw a single one becuase khan will be the stronger of the two n will dictate what fight needs to be fought. which will be on the outside. thats where bradley will get outpointed all night long.

I've been watching Khan for damn near four yrs,I will not deny he is a very talented fighter..Master boxer I don't know about that but strong puncher and very fast..Bradley is a dog mentally tough and use his disadvantage to his advantage..Bradley's foot movement/work is something to behold he will get inside on Khan more then you think..Bradley is a adjustment fighter which spells big trouble for who ever he fights what ya caught him with once you won't him twice with that same punch..Khan ate Maidana's uppercut all night..He ate Paulie's same straight left all night,you get were I'm going with this he does not adjust not to get hit with the same punch again and again..

Side note:Peterson is just as tall as Khan,and has a longer reach(I believe)..

I'd expect Bradley to beat Khan. It will look ugly staying on the inside all night and he'll have to throw accurately as opposed to a lot of the wide stuff last night.

But 12 rounds of that constant pressure and mauling will be a different test for Khan altogether (Maidana was different, he couldn't sustain it and wasn't accurate). And I think it's a test he's not yet ready for.

Devon had a longer reach than Bradley but couldn't execute his jab or straight left properly, last night.

devon ,, it was devon alexander he beat. jeezz

devon ,, it was devon alexander he beat. jeezz

The same could be said for all of Khan's last opponents..They were not Bradley right..

It seems a lot of people expect Khan to defeat Bradley, easily. Which, I find hilarious considering the fact that styles make fights. Timothy never looks good against southpaws, every orthodox boxer doesn't, in fact tell me when you've seen Khan fight a southpaw? Other than in sparring. Bradley thrives against orthodox opponents, that in which Khan is.

I think Bradley will defeat Khan and it is all based on the intangibles.

Khan's strongsuit over his last five fights, have been to throw punches in bunches, to overwhelm the opponent, and effectively make them quit or lead to an eventual knockout. At 140, he doesn't have that one punch knock out power, but he throws hurtful punches.

Bradley is one of the most elusive targets at 140. His head and foot movement is on par with some of the best, which will discourage Khan, and lead to a fall in his punch output. Bradley, is also a master at taking away his opponent's jab, something which we saw last night - Alexander's jab was no way near apparent as it was when he fought Kotelnik.

Khan is a come forward fighter. He struggles to fight on the backfoot and against the ropes. Bradley proved last night, and in his last 5 fights, that he can box yet also play the part of an aggressive fighter. He will be placing Khan on the back foot all night, making it difficult for Amir to get his punches off ...

Khan's defence at times can be abysmal. If Maidana was having some relative success with his slow-ass punchers, then Bradley's right, hooks and body punches will be landing, at will and all night. The overhand right will also be making a solid appearance.

Khan's chin is still suspect; even though he was able to make it past Maidana. Bradley is an underrated puncher. Last night, he made Alexander QUIT due to his hurtful punches, hooks and rights. There were times when Alexander was wincing in pain from the body punches, and those rights were tilting his head back. This is something we never saw Kotelnik do, which could mean in a way that Bradley punches harder. Didn't Kotelnik have Khan on the backfoot? Maybe that's something to think about.

Last night, Alexander spoilt the fight by holding. But be honest this took away one of Bradley's best attributes - inside fighting. Khan does not do well on the inside, nor is he a hugger or holder. Bradley will dismantle Khan from the inside.

Bradley's pull counter is one of the best in the game. Khan has yet to see one of these, and when it lands you'll be awfully surprised.

Ariza got Khan through his fight with Maidana; Ariza should be credited for that win, and helping him get through the 10th round on his feet. Now without one of the best strength and conditioning coachs' in the picture, how will this effect his performance in the upcoming fight?

Joel Diaz is also an underated trainer, his game plans have been on point ever since he started working with Bradley, and his corner advice is brilliant (something that Freddie Roach lacks in).

Lastly, a lot of people liken Bradley to Holyfield. Whereas, I see him as more towards Hopkins. Look at his last fights, he consistently takes away his opponent best weapon(s) plus he's a very smart fighter, and we all know about smart fighters don't we.

Bradley wins this, and I'll be surprised if it even comes close.

"Timothy never looks good against southpaws, every orthodox boxer doesn't,"

Kotelnik didn't look bad against Alexander.

Timmy will have to play headbutt again to match Kahns speed and reach.
And Kahn can punch

The opening round of Malinaggi vs Khan sums up how this fight will go.

The only difference is, Bradley will be landing hurtful punches consistently for 12 rounds.

Can Amir handle the heat?

"Timothy never looks good against southpaws, every orthodox boxer doesn't,"

Kotelnik didn't look bad against Alexander.

It still didn't mean a solid game plan wasn't executed.

What do you guys think of my Malinaggi vs Khan 1st round theory? Being similar to Khan vs Bradley, yet with more meaningful punches landed by Timothy.

Bradleys trainer is excellent.

The only type of fighter who can threaten Khan at this point is someone with POWER or someone who is bigger than him. Who can just overwhelm him...Bradley has the will but he isn't good enough to beat Khan because he lacks KO power. Khan won't respect his punching power and will throw the extra punch because of that.

Yes, very. His game plans have all been on point and his corner advice is above par. I would like to see him bring in someone to improve Bradley's punching power though. Hitman Hearns made a huge difference to Bradley's punching strength with only just five minutes padwork with him.

Also why don't you think Bradley has power? It's very underrated.

Khan was discouraged by Malinaggi. And on the backfoot against Kotelnik.

Bradley punches harder than both.

I don't like to use string theories but:

Bradley knocked down Peterson
Ortiz knocked down Peterson
Ortiz knocked down Maidana
Khan knocked down Maidana

So, there is an argument that Bradley punches just as hard as Khan, when he tries. It's just not as flashy.
