Maidana can take out Bradley without any shadow of a doubt, only I expect Bradley to survive 2 out of 3 times and winning a decision.
He landed alot of punches(Maidana) but he never landed his money shot, and Kahns should thank his lucky stars for that:yep
I agree Khan's lucky in that round! one thing with Maidana is he neautralised Khans jab quick in that fight so i would like to see how bradley would deal with him! and leading with your head and fighting close is maidana's fight and he carries ALOT more power! the only way to beat maidana is to run you can trade with this bull which Bradley will do.
Yeah it's entirely possible Maidana can KO Bradley, although i think Bradley has the toughness to win a decision.
I sort of agree with this post, except I see the bolded part as a very likely scenario. Bradley has the tendancy to rush in with wide looping amateurish shots a lot, and I think that Maidana could catch him coming in and make him pay for it. I'm still not so sure how Bradley will react when Maidana catches him with a massive shot as well. 6/10 Bradley picks up a decision win though.
Absolutely. Slugger beats swarmer. If Maidana doesn't have to hunt a guy he can impose his will and superior power as much as he wants up close, Bradley loves to mix it up and it'd be his downfall. I can't really see Bradley successfully boxing him from the outside for 12 at any rate. The smart decision is bradley W12 but the styles match up terribly for Bradley.
CAN HE? That boy can take out anyone from 106 to 160 given the opportunity, the question is if you can fight a perfect fight not to give him his chance or can you take him out early. Bradley is more than capable to grab a decision vs. Chino, pretty dominant if you ask, but given his style - fighing up close - he'd be in harm's way for 12 vs. the biggest puncher around, so a flawless performance is a requirement. Timbo is the kind who can do that, but it's still a fascinating fight because Maidana grows ever stronger and you can't discourage a natural born killer. Too bad it fell off last year due to internal issues in the Maidana camp, but if he gets rid of Morales, which he should, he'll be in the line for another biggie. It's unfortunate he'll shine on ol'Erik's expense, but if I read corrently Erik DEMANDED the fight, and Golden Boy listens.
