    I don't know if Bradley can handle Khan's length and skill

    As much as I like Tim I'm not sure that he can handle AK length and skill. Yes, Khan defense isn't very good and he's a terrible inside fighter but his jab is dynamite. If Khan works his jab effectively he can keep Bradley at bay. Khan jabbed Malginaggi to death. I thought Bradley looked terrible against Alexander, to me he won the fight based on pure aggression. I saw Bradley land about two impactful right hands the entire fight, while Alexander landed 0 punches of consequence. Amir is head and shoulders above the JWW division talent wise. Amir also probably possess the best hand speed of all the JWW.

    However, Khan does have his weaknesses, if he's to beat Bradley he better be in better condition than he was in against Maidana. While Khan's chin is suspect, he did stand up to some vicious shots from the hard hitting Maidana. Tim will be relentless and continue to attack AK no matter what. I think the fight boils down to Tim's determination vs. Khan's ability. Time will tell, I can't wait for the fight.

    That is a good assessment.

    Bradley needs to maintain good form he can't get sloppy or reckless or he could find himself on the end of something nasty. I have watched him get away with that before but a guy like Khan would probably take advantage especially at range.

    If Bradley can drag it in deep water though having took Khan's best shots you would have to like him there. Bradley isn't a one punch guy generally but I am pretty sure he can effect Khan with his best punches, if it is late in the fight that is probably all he needs.

      Especially if Khan tires in the later rounds like he did against Maidana, Bradley is relentless.

        fiftah-fiftah.

        I feel that Amir will be the better man in the early rounds. It will all come down to the championship rounds. Who wants it more.

            I think Khan wins 1-4

            then they are pretty even in 5-12

            so khan wins a comfortable ud

                Bradley wont be dancing outside trying to box. Bradley is coming forward and coming very quickly. I think he will be more frustrating for Khan than Maidana because of his foot speed. We saw when Khan gets pressured he doesnt adjust strategically, he just runs like hell. I cant see him getting a chance to sit down on his jab. Maidana allowed him time to stop and throw. He will have to fight going backwards and thats not his best suit.

                  I can't see Khan losing. Despite his poor defense his speed and size are just going to be too much to overcome for Bradley.

                    Khan has no chance in retreat mode, he must stand his ground, it's not like Bradley is a power puncher anyway.
