Maidana: "If Bradley Fights Me Like He Fought Abregu I Will Win"

"If he fights me in the same manner that he fought against Abregú, I will get a lot of chances to beat him. Abregú perhaps was not aggressive enough, but I'm not going to miss. I'm going to win. I saw that there are ways to beat Bradley and that's good."

:deal

I'm stickin with my orginial thoughts on this one.

 

Maidana will kicky Bradley's arse!

 

Your poll predates this Abregu business. Posted a new one. Let's see how they feel now.

 

Tim's my guy at 140 until he loses.

I hope he stays at 140, because the win over Abregu was a fluke (not the win itself, as Bradley showed he's the better man head to head, but he happened to have a styles advantage there and probably won't fare as well against elite welterweights).

 

Maidana will knock Bradley out, but Bradley does not want to fight Maidana.

 

As much as it pains me to agree with (who i consider to be the most overated fighter in the world ATM) i think he has a point .

Bradley does have tendancies to fight as oppose to box probably a little more than he should , but that is his style , he has a deceivingly good jab and has solid boxing skills , which he mixes up beautifully with combo's on the inside and works very well on transitioning from straight punches into 3 - 4 punch flurry's to body and head .

For me this will suit Maidana , Maidana will be willing to eat jab city to draw Bradley into a dog fight , which looking at Tim's style inevitably he will :deal , barring the chin issue's Khan for me stylistically is Maidana's worst nightmare , but i beleive if Bradley does fight Maidana exactly the way he did Abregu , he gives Maidana more of a chance .

 

He doesn't? This void thing is getting confusing, FB. It's getting out of hand.

 

ye i believe he already agreed to the fight when maidana pulled out i guess bradley persuaded maidana to pull out because he realised there was no wya out without lookin bad...what a gentleman maidana is

 

saying farmboxer is confused is like saying whitney houston has a slight drug addiction. i.e. its a huge understatement, he thinks all blacks are linked together in this illuminati esque conspiracy behind the scenes of boxing. i used to get irritated but now its quite amusing, just ignore him and he'll go away eventually.

 

I agree, bradley was a little wild in that fight. Maidana is a knockout puncher and if he catches bradley it could be lights out.

 

Maidana has good power but very limits skills. If Bradley fights smart then he cruises to a wide ud win.

 

Bradley outboxes Maidana quite comfortably IMO. Bradley would probably crowd maidana out to ensure he doesnt get any bombs off, obviously he always has a punchers chance though.

 

I think people think Madiana is some one shot KO artist or w/e. He has good boxing skills, he has tremendous power in BOTH HANDS, and good footwork.

 

Maidana's boxing skills are underrated, he gets carried away throwing big shots and thus takes the shine off any skill.
