    Bradley by UD (But hopefully a TKO/For Bradley)

    Ima go with Bradley, I think Alexander is too rigid in his style, that Bradley's footspeed and fluid punching will help him take advantage of Alexander's rigid style.

    Main worry I would have for Bradley, is if he walks into a counter if he decides to apply the pressure the way he did against Holt, as Devon has already showed, against Urango, that he can make you pay coming in wrecklessly.

    I want Devon to win. An Alexander - Khan fight will be better than Khan - Bradley IMO. but I think Timmy takes a UD on this one.

    Heard someone describe Alexander as having finesse? I dont see that with him, I think he's as stiff as a board.

    Also, I dont think Alexander uses angles that well, infact I'd venture to say he comes in straight a lot of the time, where as Bradley seems very adept at using the angles, which is probably why he's able to negate his lack of height.

    I must say though, I have only seen Alexander a few times so I might have missed something that others are seeing in him.

    I deffo think Alexander can win, still rolling with my boy Bradley though.

    I already have a bet for bradley by points ud 2.2, because the odd is good.
    But my feeling says alexander will tko bradley, I think he gets underrated after the kotelnik fight.

    Every boxer gets underrated here on ESB after a bad experience. They lose by a perfect ko then they have a "glass jaw", they lose their 0's to another good opponent and then are considered "overrated", etc.

    Bradley comfortable UD, i can see Alexander becoming quite flustered with Bradleys aggresive attacks. Bradley cant get too reckless though as Devon could time with a peachy uppercut, could be curtains if that happens.

    For a long time I liked Alexander in this match up. I still think he bets anyone else who is at 140 right now. However I think Bradley is going to win a decision in the 8-4 range.

    If Devon can't KO or stop Bradley, IT will be a Bradley UD for me..
