    Is Bradley a good inside fighter?

    Is Timothy Bradley a good inside fighter compared to the rest of the welterweight division?

    Against Provodnikov he found himself in a lot of trouble after trading hooks with a lethal puncher. But as we saw in the fight versus Alexander he is really good at getting close range and then working when he gets inside. I don't think his punches have the best technique but he has good work ethic and body work. Also his head is a dangerous weapon at close range.

    What do you think?

    He can't be relied upon to protect himself at all times once he's in there. Bradley has eaten some of the hardest punches of his career on the inside. My favorite was Kendall Holt's first knockdown of him. That was the definition of getting ragdolled. Nowadays he spends as little time there as possible. This is him being "smart." Not doing things he used to do. Not him doing anything better.

      One of the best inside fighters at 147, IMO.

      It's his head and combination punching on the inside that make him very dangerous. Also, his speed on the inside is very good, compared to his speed on the outside. And he's physically strong, with a CHIN on him.

      And he gets hit on the inside, because he doesn't clinch. He likes to turn it into a dog fight to test you. If you win the battles, he boxes you up to win the war.

        He's decent on the inside.

        Like most other areas, he's decent.

          The only guys that can really beat him on the inside are dynamite punchers that are also very very good on the inside. Hell, guys that are basically known for in fighting.
