normall his always active always fighting with intensity, but against alexander he was fighting in spurts or just walking around in some of the rounds.
You are right. I was on the 4th row and both guys cracked under all the pressure. Seen more action in sparring sessions with 10yr olds. It was bad all around. The fighters the ref and the crowd.
Well . . . different opponents, different fighting styles, different strategies. If a fighter just do what he always does expect the opponent to come in well prepared with a game plan.
Because he was in with someone with faster who could counter him and had the footwork/holding to neutralise him. I've changed my pick on Khan-Bradley to Khan UD and think it might be wide. If Alexanders speed/counters slows his pace Khan's will, if Bradley thought it was hard getting inside and landing on Alexander then he hasn't got a hope against Khan, Bradley is more like 5'4 so we're talking 7inches in height and loads of reach
you know what that might of been the reason, because I was suprised when he was giving Devon so much props after the fight, Alexander was awful, he was coming in with half-ass flurry of punches with his eyes closed and could not connect with hardly anything
Devon made him look slow. Devon's only problem is he wasn't sitting down on his punches, AT ALL.. nor did he throw an actual jab, but flicked some bull**** while yelping. Devon needs to go back to the drawing table and recognize what professional boxing is about.
I felt he did what he could do with the type of opponent that he was fighting. Its very hard to fight with someone who clearly does not want to engage and ran for the whole fight only to then take the cowards option and look for an easy way out. Being honest though for me this is proof that Khan would win a wide UD vs Bradley. I think he did struggle with the speed at times and with Khans punches in bunches he would rack up too many rounds for Bradley to do anything about.
He was getting clinched everytime he moved in, frustrating to watch and probably frustrating for him too. I'm one of these guys who thinks clinching should only be allowed if you are willing to work from it or when you are hurt. Clinching for no reason is againsed the rules.
Thats what happends when you fight a southpaw who wants to be tentative, plus he did have the flu etc. that will have been a factor. another thing is the game plan would have been much different that with the other fighters he faced.
Even tho i thought he clearly won it it was a strange performance. He was walking in looking for one big shot
