Timothy Bradley Vs. Keith Thurman

[DARKSEID]

I think Bradley's number one strength is his work ethic.

He's that blue-collar all american type of athlete that understands the grind is what gets you the victory. The smart money is always on Bradley because you know he's 110% Prepared, 110% Conditioned, that he's gone over the game plan over and over and is ready to fight the perfect fight every night, and has prepared for everything that could possibly go wrong.

The one exception being the provodnikov fight, which was understandable after what he went through and was going through. He made a statement in the Marquez fight though, that he conquered all those doubts, and he became even stronger for it.

Thurman is a good fighter but he hasn't faced anywhere near the type of opposition bradley has and hasn been tested. Bradley has, and combat experience means everything in this sport.

[Rome-By-Ko]

I love both these fighters. 'One Time' is on the up and Bradley is established. Bradley is one of a small group of fighters whose crediblity would be enhanced by a lose. The Provodnikov fight was a draw at best. Bradley boxed well and gave Ruslan a lot to think about. But whenever Provodnikov let his hands go, Bradley was wobbled and looked out on his feet in several rounds. Taking a knee in the last round confirms Bradley shouldn't have won despite a good performance.
Thurman showed against Diego Chaves all the qualities of an elite fighter. Chaves is a technical gifted, hard hitting puncher\boxer. Who asked plenty of question of Thurman and seemed to nullify him for most of the fight. I say 'seemed' because Thurman made adjustments throughout the fight. By the time that crushing body shot dropped Chaves, he had dropped his punch out significantly and was unable to deal with Thurman's lateral movement.

If a Bradley v Thurman fight is made, Thurman would have to drop Bradley multiple times or get the K.O. in order to win. Bradley for whatever reason is a protected fighter, where decisions are concerned. Bradley can obviously get a UD or SD and I can see why the majority opinion favours it, but I sincerely believe Thurman is a special talent and should be afforded the nod against Bradley.

Chaves is a poor man's Abregu..He was the one asking questions of Thurman..You have to be joking..

Who wins and why?

Tim gets KTFO.

Timmy doesnt take shots all too well at WW. Abregu hurt him. Pac hurt him. Prov had him out. Down a few times at 140. Down and almost out at 147. Shown he can be hurt and can have a tough time recovering.

Desert Storm loses a little of his slickness because of the weight and extra muscle from 140 to 147. 40 year old JMM landed lots of his power shots. Not as slick at 147 as he was at 140 as shown by his last 3 outings - barely eeking out decisions in each.

On top of that, he wasnt a big puncher at 140, even less at 147. No KO's or KD's since...? Peterson?

Overall, Tim is still a 140 pounder. His last 3 fights were against non WW's. Including Pac ( I dont count Pac as a WW since he almost never fights WWs or at the WW limit.)

Thurman is just too much to handle for Tim, JMM and Pac at this stage. Bombing out tough durable WW's with no catchweights is more impressive than anything that the 3 have done lately barring JMM's specatcular KO of Manny.

LMAO,Prov could see just fine..Even he feels he loss the fight..People need to remember that Boxing match is scored on a rd by rd basis..Bradley clearly won the fight..

I have no interest in debating this with you. You're the same guy who thinks Bradley beat Pacquiao. Ruslan was robbed of multiple KDs. Anyone with a bit of knowledge in boxing knows this.

It's ok tho, we all thoroughly enjoyed the ass whooping that he received.

Which things do you prefer to point at:

1. Robbery against Pac
2. Split decision against JMM
3. Out on his feet vs Provodnikov and won a close decision.

Again he hasn't done anything impressive just went 12 rds. and barely survived vs Provodnikov, was not impressive in any of the other 2 wins which one should really be a loss(Pac) I don't even know how you can dispute it or bring it up as an accomplishment!

Out on his feet and still won the fight..

Split decision,sill won the fight..

Robbery against Pac(Which I don't agree with)still won the fight..

No matter how much you try to detract from Bradley stella career,he still won the fight..Deal with it..

You're out of your ****ing mind if you bank on Tim Bradley Getting KO'd

You clearly know nothing about this fighter so just stop.

[Elotero]

not hold and pederson... but beat undefeated alexander. gotta give him credit for that one.

That fight ended on a headbutt. In 4 rounds.

You make it seem like he went 12 hard with Alexander for that W.

Same with Campbell. I see MF's bringing up that ND as a W for Timmy.
