How would Bradley vs. Maidana play out?

[John Locke]

Maidana hits much harder than Provodnikov. Provodnikov's power is overrated, as is Bradley's chin.

I think Bradley would win a close decision if he fought Maidana, depending on his gameplan. Wouldn't be surprised if Maidana beat him though.

How do we tell that Maidana is the harder puncher just out of curiosity??I don't believe anyone(unless they shared the ring with both)can say with any certainty that one is a harder puncher then the other..Both look to have raw power tho..

What the hell is this talk of Bradley being anything like Khan..Are people being serious here??Bradley is a much smarter fighter then Khan..Better footwork better conditioning..These two fighters are nothing a like..

Bradley Khan=night and day..

Some people like to make random comparisons.


But really.. Bradley gets tagged alot more than someone who is a "good" boxer should. Marquez is ass coming forward so people are basing alot of their opinion off of that fight, but Prov pushed the fight just as Maidana does. Both comfortable pressure types.

Maidana who fought Khan, Alexander loses pretty clear. The Maidana I see training how he is training for May 3 though.. he would give Bradley a chin check at least every couple of rounds..

and really... how many more times can Bradley be concussed. Prov had him slurring his speech for months.

Come on man,Maidana can not handle movement..I don't like to take away from what fighters do in the ring..So I'll say from what I seen Prov handles movement better then Maidana does..Maidana does not handle movement well at all..Bradley fights smart(he's learned his lesson from the Prov fight)and boxes Maidana ears clean off..It would have been this yesterday today and forever more..Maidana a very good fighter,when the fighter stands in front of him,show him movement he is not the same kinda fighter,nore will he have the same kinda power..You'll see everything coming..

Problem is Maidana at his best is a more complete fighter than prov. Prov shot his wad early in the fight then did jack until the 6th. Against Adrien Chino was actually outboxing Broner in the middle of the ring in some of the middle rounds.Fatigue makes even the most dangerous of fighters look like they dont belong, but thats the thing, a Chino with A+ cardio [as they seem to be trying to get him for May, Id say he had B+ to A- cardio for Broner] is a very dangerous fight for Tim.

Broner showed Maidana 0 movement bro..Bad example imo..Not hard for Maidana to throw some shots and of course land on Broner who was standing right in front of Maidana..Again Maidana does not do well against a mover..It why May will dominate him,it's why Khan dominated him,it's even to an extent why he loss to Kotelnik..You can see his shots coming when you move from him,even tho Alexander held a lot,it's what he did to Maidana as well..He seen everything coming..Broner is not that good of a boxer..Solid fighter and very talented,but by no means is his ring I.Q.that good..Broner did not move at all,shot his jab from Maidana range and was counter repeatedly..Even then Broner was able to win rds..TBH I don't even believe Broner can tie Bradley's shoes at the moment..

Well.. I see Kotelnik and Khan as symbolic victories for Maidana. Points consideration aside (if you want to know what I mean by that I can explain)... by no means was he dominated by either. Though it looked like that was what Khan was gonna do early. Devon dominated him.. but I feel it was with dishonorable tactics.. AND tactics he learned from. Just like you said Bradley learned to fight smart from Prov.. I say Maidana learned to fight against movers and clinchers from Devon, khan and ect. With the trainer he has now stressing sound fundamentals, and the conditioning coach of a prime pac and Khan.. it really is a good look for Maidana.

aside from that, my lights saw the Broner fight as a fight with 4 phases. First of course was Maidana blitzing broner. Second, After those moments a shell shocked Broner tried to utilize his athleticism to escape Maidana with some movement.. and Maidana DID cut off the ring on him. Third, a tactical battle in the middle of the ring, a boxing competition in the middle of the ring that Maidana was winning with the jab. Fourth Broner took the fight to Maidana and Maidana had an answer for that as well.

Broner did try to move when he was tagged..current Maidana just has underrated skill now of cutting off the ring and closing distance.

so yeah, he's a more complete fighter than Prov.. at least as powerful. Dangerous fight for Tim. And I like Tim. Im a fan of any fighter with the heart of a Lion.
