    In all fairness while i do think Bradley will win a decision Devon is a big puncher and probably has the power to put Bradley down if he catches him clean. Kendall Holt had Bradley down twice and id rate Alexander as a bigger puncher than Holt

    The first knockdown was Bradley and Holt in transition and Bradley threw a reckless hook and turned onto a hook himself with chin in air. Did brilliant to get up and go back down and take full count and not look hurt at all. Second knockdown was him falling in on a shot and getting clipped and momentum taking him down and he touched down. The first knockdown was due to him being amped up and naive but showed a old man's head to step back into fight and take it to Holt. His chin's good enough to take Alexanders shots imo.

    Even if Bradley took a walk down ***** street I think he's the kind of fighter you would fancy to hold on.

    Not saying hes weak chinned or anything but he has looked a bit vunerable in some of his fights, even in the Peterson fight imo. He gets reckless sometimes when he has a man hurt and charges in which leaves him open to taking some hard shots. And after seeing Devon ko the usually iron chinned urango, i think theres a chance he can knock out Bradley if he lands one of those perfect punches again. If Bradley leaves himself open he could give Alexander chances.

    Yeah your right i noticed this when i re-watched Peterson fight. He is a really poor finisher for such a student of game and hard working well rounded fighter. I have worried in my thoughts about this fight about him being reckless. He is a emotional fighter at times...he does well to keep controlled cos he's a fiery character by all accounts.

    At the moment these are the results from Poll....before the Kotelnik fight this would of been far more closer. Lot of people have been swayed after that display. I remember being annoyed when people were hyping him up after the Urango win. I didn't feel his performance against Witter was anything special at all.

    I'm not sure how I feel about the Kotelnik fight. Obviously it was a terrible performance and in my eyes he lost. You could put that down to an off night and an awkward opponent but at the same time he shown no ability to adapt to Kotelnik. After the 2 performances... the gauge is probably about right.

    Agreed.

    It's funny to see people change views on that performance. I'm still yet to see the full fight. I seen clips and not shocked at fans anger.

    I don't know I think it's gone a bit too far the other way. Alexander is a young fighter who hasn't got that much experience, only a few fights at the top level. It's not that much of a mark against him to have a tough fight with a seasoned pro like Kotelnik. Just having a bad night doesn't rule him out.

    I just wouldn't be shocked if he came to the Bradley fight and showed us he's got another string to his bow. People might be sleeping on him a bit, when he's got power and speed to trouble Timbo, and Bradley doesn't have the solid defense to keep himself completely out of trouble.

    Alexander was completely over-rated for beating urango, then seriously under-rated for struggling with kotelnik. The middle position is more accurate. Against open come-forward guys Alexander will look great. Against guys that can block while backing him up he'll look weaker.

    He throws at the air, favouring activity over efficiency. Plus he makes that barking noise when he throws. Better opponents will pick that up.

    His major issue is that he's a bit thick. He doesn't adjust at all. He's as one-dimensional as they come. And he's not a particularly hard puncher.

    Can't see him winning this.

    Alexander isn't as good as they say... Bradley by wide points.
