Bradley vs Thurman at 147 who wins?

[gee73]

How is Bradley much smarter? I just don't see it.


Also, I think Thurman is a lot better than Chaves (obviously) and Ruslan, both who gave Bradley tough fights. Bradley also loves to get into exchanges with everybody, Thurman would have no problem landing big shots. TB is the more proven and experienced fighter, but I just don't think his style matches up well against Keith Thurman.

If Bradley wanted, he could have outboxed Ruslan the whole night but nobody would like to watch a fight like that. He could do the same with Chaves, maybe not as much as against Ruslan but again nobody would really want to watch this. His problem is that he wants to hurt the guys he's fighting although he doesn't have the punching power. If he would go out just to get the W against Thurman, he would probably get it.

if it happened right now i'd give the slight edge to bradley just because i think it would be too much too soon for keith. he has not fought anyone close to bradley's level. he certainly won't KO bradley. I still think it's a toss up fight though because he does have the height/reach and speed is close to even. bradley is just unbelievable at slipping punches and clipping you at close range though. i think he'd teach young thurman a thing or 2 there. very competitive fight. in 2 years i'd say thurman but now its a 50/50 fight.

bradley couldn't just box against chavez. he did it the last 6 rounds and gave away the fight as chavez won most of those late rounds to get the draw

I think Tim is too accurate for Keith.

Bradley is looking good at 147.

Look at the Diaz and Bundu fights. Accurate punchers make Thurman freeze

lol Thurman never froze in those fights, you're imagining things amigo.

As for Thurman vs Bradley, I got Thurman by close UD right now, in a year or two I think Thurman by clear UD or maybe even stoppage if Bradley doesn't stay disciplined.

Thurman's main attribute is overpowering his opponent, Bradley is tough so I don't think Thurman would overpower him so easily. That mixed with Bradley being smarter and better technically makes me think Bradley outboxes him to a decision.
