    I have never heard of his opponent. What are you guys expecting from Bradley tonight? Is his unbeaten record in tremendous danger tonight?

    If he tries to slug with Abregu...Yes he is in danger cuz Abregu is strong as an ox...However, if he box he should be able to win a clear cut decision...

    Unless Tim Bradley gets caught by a big right, he wins easy on points.

    I havn't seen him, but I seen a clip of him last night. If you stand still, or your back is against the ropes...he throws some impressive combinations. But I'm pretty sure Bradley's movement will cause him a great deal of trouble.

    Bradley's speed should get him out of harm's way. His opponent's undefeated record is misleading because he never really fought anybody worth mentioning. I'm more interested to see how Bradley's higher weight will affect his overall performance. Bradley should win this.

    look at Bradley's amateur days for weight.
    You will be surprised.

    Abregu is a solid fighter. Decently fast, very strong, less than decent chin, etc. He throws good combinations and boxes fairly well. Bradley is going to have a tough time, but he should be able to handle it.

    Bradley might feel he has to make a statement after being dismissed by Arum as a potential opponent for Pacquiao.
    If he goes toe to toe, he can easily lose this.

    Does anyone think he carries more or less of a pop at 147??

    I think he looked stacked at the weigh in, let's see if he uses it.

    It's dangerous stepping up in weight when you're not a big puncher. Bradley will be more vulnerable at 147. I've seen Abregu fight a bunch of times. He has good power, and very good recuperative skills, but he's sloppy. Bradley will have to be careful all night long, but he should get a UD.

    I expect him to dominate. Abregu is a hype job.

    Abregu is a solid WW, he's fought as high as 154. He's got decent power as well as a decent workrate. I'm personally expecting a tough night for Bradley. He's stepping up in weight against a solid opponent. Lets remember that Bradley had serious trouble keeping his ass off the mat against Holt........I expect a tough UD for Bradley.

    Bradley has one of the best chins in boxing. He can slug and win in a war or he can outbox the guy.
