    i'm guessing the "desert" refers to where he's from and the "storm" is meant to refer to how he fights

    The campbell that fought Diaz is trouble but Bradley needs to fight he did against Holt but maybe with a little more urgency so the possibly faster man doesn't run away with it.

    the word is that anthony peterson will get the winner of campbell/bradley, i've asked this before but i wonder if witter would face a beaten bradley if he wins that WBC strap? looks like he won't get a rematch unless bradley loses which is likely but by then a khan unification could be on the offering

    what has me so damn confused about Bradley is that you can't put your finger on a lot of things that he absolutely does wrong...he just doesn't use it to his full advantage either. Take his footwork for example He doesn't follow a guy around the ring like say Miranda, Bradley knows how to cut it off. But once cutting off, he doesn't punctuate a proper flurry or do many things that will be effective against someone like Campbell, Take his jab, decent. But he doesn't consistently work behind it. A slickster with angles, someone who punches inbetween his slightly wide punches and knows his way on the inside beats him everytime

    Holt was controlling that fight but as i said before he just didn't finish his meal and inexplicabily stopped throwing the jab which was winning him the fight, Holt gave that fight away and Bradley will have to do better then he did in that that fight against Nate, because Campbell ain't handing him the fight

    that would be Lamont Peterson, Anthony's brother

    Anthony Peterson fights at Lightweight

    his brother, Lamont fights at 140 and is the current interim WBO champion

    i know the petersons just got them confused, i like them, particularly anthony, they don't get flustered, they have very good heads on their shoulders, pick punches well and in variety

    they don't seem to be pretty good athletically or have much pop especailly lamont, and that grunting they do really annoys me, smart fighters are gonna pick up on that because they telegraph their punches
