Bradley has better footwork and hand speed. He is also difficult to hit clean when he chooses to use his hit and not get hit style.
    The reason was Thurman is under GBP, Bradley under Top Rank.

      Yeah, but I think Bradley might have a similar issue to Paulie v Thurman in not really having the power to keep him at bay.
      Bradley has wobbled every single opponent he has ever faced. He even had Provo backing up after 6 hit combinations in their fight...he almost dropped JMM in the 12th. Tim has enough power keep people honest, he just doesn't score knockouts. He has the skills to have Thurman eating counter shots all night. Thurman is a power puncher who swings wide a lot and Tim would see those openings a mile away.

        Pretty tough fight to call. Bradley might not have near the kind of power to keep Thurman off him. Thurman isn't a straight forward fighter either so Bradley might get dropped a few times. Very interesting fight though. I would go with Bradley winning a 12SD but then again I wouldn't be surprised if Thurman won by SD or TKO.

          Bradley would probably win on points if he does his usual style, but Thurman would be very live. Close fight, Bradley either wins a decision or gets ktfo.

            that didn't stop Lara vs Vanes from happening. They could have let it go to purse bid just like that fight did. No excuses Weebler. His team didn't want to try and take that route to a title for whatever reason.

              Bradley beats him 8 rounds to 4.

                Peterson, Holt and Alexander are C/B level fighters. Beating them is no achievement.
                Abregu smaller than Thurman too? 35-1 (28 kos)

                  I like thurman but lets see if he can even win a belt first. Defend it a couple times by then Bradley should be done with TR and if thats the fight to be made im sure it will happen.

                  Thurman = Flavor of the week

                    Gotta go with the proven guy. Bradley has been with elite fighters and have performed well. Thurman has not.

                      Sorry, I'm probably the biggest Thurman fan on this site, but Tim wins this one by UD. Keith is too open and it's the classic boxer puncher vs. swarmer setup. In case you don't know, swarmers beat boxers
