Anyone else think Bradley/Alexander wasn't that terrible?

    i was looking for alexander's power punches especially the uppercat that ko'd urango but it never came. bradley didn't respect his power at all. i don't know but it seems like alexander's game is kinda slipping more than it's improving. i thought he had an off-night against kotelnik like what he's claiming but what i saw against bradley was the same tentative and no plan B kind of fighter. i really think he needs to change his trainer.

      He fights tentative, and doesn't sit on his punches. He was scoring points, but he wasn't making it meaningful.

      No trainer can provide heart and nerves.

        I was ringside for it and enjoyed the first 9 rounds but the end was so unsatisfying and left everyone with a bad taste in their mouth.

          Alexander was fighting like an amateur fighter.

          A really great amateur fighter.

          That **** won't cut it against guys like Bradley.

          I think if he fought Maidana(who's a more stationary target) he'd sit down on his punches more.

          Very interesting match-up in Alexander-Maidana.

            I guess I am a rare breed of fan that appreciates each an every event because I never find myself walking away from watching a fight and speaking negatively on it unless its something that needs to be said like the BHOP Pascal scandal, and even that fight I enjoyed, I am not the casual fan nor A picky hardcore fan who thrives on the blood or non stop action in the ring, rather I see every fight event as a chance to study and admire professionals and there ways and learn from them, I am heavily criticized amonst friends for this always arguing how a fight called boring was actually a demonstration of the science in one way or another, maybe I just appreciate boxing differently, But I love fights, whether it be a first round knockout or a 12 round draw. If I don't care for the science of the sport and only want to see quick bloodshed I can always watch a WEC rerun or the next UFC event, while my ever shrinking MMA interest dwindles...

              The fight wasn't that bad just the conclusion. I would have rather seen Alexander fight on thru the eye pain and loose a decision.

              One has to question his heart. Even if he was winning he still quit.

                it wasn't as great as it was hyped up to be considering it was called "superfight". even if you had low expectations, it didn't live up to them either.
