would you get in the ring with Bradley knowing headbutts are coming

[THe TRiNiTY]

Bradley is about 5'5" to maybe 5'6". I don't care what the numbers say, because he's shorter AND fights a short fighters fight.

Everyone he faces knows that he's not the hardest puncher and that he's a come-forward fighter. What is going to happen? Bradley is going to come in and attack and due to his lack of power his opponents are going to want to come in and counter while he's throwing without fear.

What would that cause, you might ask?

Headbutts. That.... class.... is the answer.

Yes, I would fight him. you develop a game plan and understand that headbutts can happen, so you have to fight around those obstacles. He won't. Why should he? They don't seem to bother him. He fights with the blood and moves on. You, must do the same.

Jab before you go in so it pushes him back. Come in with angles. Fight from the outside. Get him to back up when you can. Simple enough stuff.

If you were a boxer and your next opponent was Bradley, would you fake an injury to avoid getting headbutted 5-10 times in one fight.

If Khan and Bradly fight and Khan gets headbutted, then Tim is doing it on purpose.

It's inevitable. It's going to happen. Bradley has headbutted his last 6 opponents. Khan or whoever Bradley fights next, is going to get headbutted no matter what style/orthodox/southpaw or conventional, Bradley will find a way to ram his head in to your face. I feel bad for Bradley's next opponent.

The reason I asked this question was because in the post fight interview, I heard Alexander say, "we didn't train for headbutts".

Now I understand accidental headbutts every once in a while, but I think there's a problem when they're happening every fight.

The sad part is that you have to repect his head more than his punching power, I just can't believe that he and his trainer haven't worked on trying to avoid colliding with other boxers, unless his trainer sees that leading with the crown of his head is an advantage.

a couple more headbutts and he'll be in the MMA realm.

if alexander didnt train and prepare for headbutts,then more fool him,the idiot!.

he himself clinched and moved in,so he allowed himself to get headbutted.

its protect yourself at all times,not act oblivious to the heabutts that are no doubt coming your way.

With khan v bradley,there is a larger height differential.

Khan is 5'10,and bradley is 5'6(thts what boxrec states anyway)

so bradley has a harder time getting the forehead of khan by way of butting him,dilberate or not.

and khan is faster,smarter,more composed,stronger willed,better tactically than alexander is.

freddie will make sure they have the perfect gameplan to beat bradley.

Khan will make it look fairly easy.

khans feints then strong jabs followed straight after by accurate right hands from enough distance will harm bradley.

If these young fighters knew how to fight inside instead just holding it wouldn't be that much of a problem.

This is the f***ing point here. Bradley likes to fight inside, and the guys he fights often don't, so they go to grab Bradley while Bradley is still swinging. That leads to headbutts, especially since Bradley has such a big freaking head.

Khan will make it look fairly easy.

If Khan fights Bradley next I don't know who'll win, but I think whoever wins will win the fight fairly easily.

Either Khan is going to keep Bradley at bay and destroy him on the outside or Bradley is going to slip past Khan's jab and break him down on the inside. Khan can hurt Bradley, but I don't think he has the power to stop him.
