The Timothy 'Desert Storm' Bradley deception

[lfc19titles]

When Khan wins, I will give him the same credit I gave him for beating kotelnic and maidana

you need to watch khans hand speed, he is quicker than bradley, at the same time being taller and has very quick footwork

bradley will not get near khan to work on his body, if bradley opens up and tries to come on the inside, khan will just land on the guys ahead and then move back out to avoid getting hit

all khan has to do is negate the overhand right, i honestly see him winning this fight very easily in the end by at least 5 rounds

i would even be willing to put my points on the line here if you are

[Walt Liquor]

bum, based on what? The way he fights or his resume? His resume wasn't strong, I agree. But the guy is very hard to hit cleanly.

he makes paulie look like henry armstrong

[BallisticAffair]

I mean, what's so great about this fight for Amir is the quality of the guy opposite him.


That's why this fight means so much. Because Bradley *is* VERY GOOD. He *is* the best opponent Khan will have faced and he *will* give Khan a highly competetive fight.


He's at least a B+ fighter. And Amir hasn't proven that he's above that level yet. This is his litmus test. So what are you guys talking about?



Enjoy the fight.

His hand speed maybe quicker, but his lateral movement is not, and his footwork might be comparable. Khan is very straight up and down, Bradley leans side to side, he's never in the same position longer than a few seconds. Khan holds hand speed over Bradley, that's it.

bradley will not get near khan to work on his body, if bradley opens up and tries to come on the inside, khan will just land on the guys ahead and then move back out to avoid getting hit

So the much slower handed, and slower footed Maidana could get in on Amir, but the faster more elusive Bradley won't?

Uhhuh.

all khan has to do is negate the overhand right

You mean the one punch that consistently lands on Amir?

[wazaa.]

This arbitrary 'prime'/'green'/'shot' terminology hardly tells the full story. Just because one fighter is green or shot doesn't necessarily mean they aren't better than another who is apparently in his prime.

IIRC, Salita was only top ten in one of the sanctioning body's rankings, which I think Cherry and Campbell were also.

Khan may well go on to beat Timmy but his CV is a bit behind as things stand.

I acknowledged that Salita was a bum. Thats why I didn't give him the 'check' sign.

How far is Amir's resume really behind? Amir fought more prime top 10 JWW's than Bradley.

[TrickyTrickster]

McLoskey wouldnt beat Lamont Peterson.

Yes, he would.

[wazaa.]

he makes paulie look like henry armstrong

who is Henry Armstrong?

[THE REED]

Yes, he would.

Nah.

who is Henry Armstrong?

wowwwwwwwwwwwww

lfc1990sinceourlasttitle, I have no millions to bet with at present. A couple of weeks ago, I'd have bet with you.


Although, I'm supporting Amir, so I'm not really interested in betting against him.


Yes, Khan's taller, yes, he has fast feet, yes, he has faster hands. BUT, Bradley knows how to make his lack of height an advantage against foes, Bradley has fast feet and great footwork (which is more than just fast feet, but where you put them) and Bradley's hands are not slow.

Khan has things going for him, but he isn't better in all areas of the game, it's untrue to say that.

Maidana was the test of Khan being able to stand up to a puncher. Bradley is Khan's litmus test in a sense of showing how he handles a real professional prizefighter with a lot of intangibles to match the qualities you can perceive with your eyes.

Witter was past his prime??Witter was the num 1 Jr WW behind Hatton who was the Champ..Fail..

Roy was also #1 when Tarver beat him. But everybody knows that Roy wasn't the same way before that. Like Roy, so did Witter depend heavily on his legs and reflexes. Both these attributes were faded quite a lot when they met.

Cherry prime dangerous fight who was dominated..

Paulie Malignaggi dominated Cherry as well.

Holt beast big puncher and prime..

Maidana beast, big puncher, prime and better resume

Peterson was green but that was Bradleys toughest fight imo soo Ill give him credit for it...

McCloskey's resume was as weak as Peterson's. But Amir had a quite tough fight imo so I'll give him credit for it.

Devon unified champ far from green,this with the Witter win alone dominates Khans resume..

Who did Alexander get those belts from? By beating a shot to **** Junior Witter? he was even more shot than when Bradley fought him. he got the IBF belt from beating Urango. Hmmm...okay... ... who did Urango beat again? He got beat by Kotelnik after that. Devon is a fine example of a paper champion.
