    Bradley. Im not sure what the point of your link is though, Bradley talking into a handheld camcorder has not really put seeds of doubt in my mind.

    I honestly won't be shocked if Alexander wins.

    Bradley is making too much noise about Khan this, Khan that, he hasn't even beat Devon yet.

    Beating Kendall Holt means nothing...this will be an easy night for Alexander he has about 3 inches on him in height as well

    Devon will have his work cut out for him. Timmy holds all the important aces IMO. The problem with Alexander is, he has a very predictable punching pattern and fights at the same rhythm for the whole fight. He also telegraphs his punches and makes hissing sounds which alert his opponents on incoming punches. It's something really easy to pick up on for someone like Tim Bradley. I think Alexander will fall short with a lot of his punches, especially the jab which he throws from too far away and he'll be countered. Bradley's signature move is rolling with the jab and coming back over the top with a right hand. He knocked Peterson and Edner Cherry down with it. He also has Holyfield-esque will and a terrific left hook which will be useful to counter the southpaw jab.

    Bradley is more rounded, sets a very high workrate, has better feet and can adapt much better too. He can fight different ways, his punching power is also underrated IMO he's nowhere near as feather fisted as some will have you believe. I do think however though that the fight against Kotelnik has made people think this will be a walkover for Bradley, more then they would've done had it not happened. I think it will be very competitive and relatively close on the cards. Alexander has to fight close to a perfect fight though, he has to be sure not to lose the first few rounds, which is critical to the outcome of the fight IMO. If Bradley is winning by 3 or 4 rounds by the first half of the fight and we get to a point where Alexander has to make serious adjustments, then it's over for him. He needs to be ahead or at least level by the half way mark.

    I'm picking Bradley to win at least 7 or 8 rounds and take the fight going away.

    I dont know Bradley looked scared here 2 me...he stutter and froze when the guy asked him about Alexander...skillwise Bradley might be slightly better...but heart and strength wise Alexander is better....Alexander by KO

    I would not be totally shocked if Alexander won this fight, but c'mon...Alexander has more heart and strength? you serious? you can definitely make a better case for him then those lame "searching" ones.

    Bradley has some of the strongest will in the game, in fact thats probabily his biggest strength. He can fight hard and also smarter. He's the type of fighter who if dropped, it doesn't effective him and finds a way to win and imposes his will and plan. Alexander was getting flustered and confused by Kotelnik standing infront of him with a high guard.

    There is a big difference between being talented and being skillful. Bradley has a far superior skillset. As i've said Alexander can't adjust on the fly at all, he really has very little improvisation and he fights to the same pattern from the first bell to the last, with no change.

    Devon gets hit really cleanly, he has average twitch fibres and defensive reflexes, he also admires his work and has his head on a swivel everytime he throws a punch, ready to get snapped back. Bradley will throw a curveball at you. I've seen him lull his opponents to sleep then change the pace...."Alexander has more heart" mahn, you're having a laugh (shaking my head). lol

    Oh, i assume you're talking about the press conference when you say "Bradley looked scared...stutter and froze" lol. Just a little advice, never judge an outcome of a fight on press conferences. If antics at PC's won fights Ricardo Mayorga would be undefeated and the best fighter in the world. :good

    Bradley will barely drop a round. Alexanders power is overrated, he's fairly sloppy and telegraphs his punches by grunting like a female tennis player.

    Bradley has displayed durability, superior handspeed, adaptability and will beat Devon any way he wants IMO. I see two people who could beat Bradley between 140/147, and Devon and Amir are not either of them :yep

    He does. For someone who asked a question you clearly already have your answer, you think Devon is gonna win. You also seem to have little analysis as to why you think this will be the case, so f'n do one to the General.

    Getting tooled for 8 rounds and looking clueless against a basic fighter says more about you then getting dropped in a fight you go on to clearly win. Their power is actually comparable, there's not much in it IMO. People are being fooled by that Urango KO. There's a lot of variables in KO ratio's. Bradley has more fights and fought tougher competition, as their careers go on they'll have a similar stoppage rate. Khan and Alexander don't punch THAT much harder then Tim. Anyway, it could be academic when Bradley is overwhelmingly better in other departments.
