Can maidana take out bradley

I love how some people are saying he could outbox him for 12. If outfighters on the level of Kotelnik and Khan couldn't, do you really think Bradley could? Sorry but his movement, combination work and jab at that range just aren't good enough to cut it out there. He'd end up bringing the fight to El Chino. You can say that maybe he'd be able to grind him down from the inside for a decision, but oh boy, i'd love to see him try and butt Maidana.

 

Tim UD.

 

Thing is, Bradley isn't the biggest he will need to get inside, Maidana would love that, he won't quit like Devon, he'd sting and catch Bradley and yes I wouldn't rule out a KO.

When has Bradley faced a guy who will bring the level of pressure and power that Maidana will bring??

 

Kotelnik isn't a mover, and Khan was keeping him tamed for the first 4/5 rounds. But, as we expected (at least I did anyway), his flawed defence and chin wasn't going to hold up for the full 12, and the Maidana bombs were eventually going to slow him down. Bradley, on the other hand, has a better chin and defence; therefore he won't suffer the same fate Khan did.

The only thing I'm worried for Bradley, is when he has to venture into Maidana's territory to score his shots. His arms are to short and his punches are too wide for him be an effective fighter from the outside, so yes, he will need to utilize an in-out strategy. But even then, I think he's good enough to do that. Not to mention the unfair advantage he has with his headbutts.

But, as others have already mentioned, Maidana is a cold-blooded killer. Bradley's head and ugly little flurries on the inside may not be enough to keep him controlled. He'll be chasing and hunting his prey for the full 12, and with power like his, you can never rule him out.

 

Let me make this clear for everyone:

Does Maidana have the power to TKFO Bradley? Yes.

In a fight between the two, will he be able to do so? No.

Why? Excellent head movement.

 

Couldn't take Khan out, and he didn't fight the perfect fight, not even close.

 

:deal

 

I like Bradley but hell yes Maidana can take him out. Will he is another question but at most I think he'll deck Bradley. I'm not a fan of Maidana but I do appreciate that he does "EFFECTIVE AGGRESSION!" quite well. He will find Bradley that's for certain but I think their high willpowers colliding would make for a great fight unlike his fight with Devon "Aaaaah! I can't see because my eyeliner is burning" Alexander.

 

Khan fought smart for 10 rounds fighting at range. Bradley dont do that and yes Khan got lucky and only had to deal with it the last 3 rounds imagine what he could do to Bradley with 12!! There styles would make this a up close dirty fight! Bradley dont have Ortiz power to put Maidana down but Miadana does have the power to put Bradley to sleep! Bradley wont run round the ring like Khan did and thats the only way to beat that bull!

 

I would like to see the fight made it would be a good fight, I dont know enough about either guy having only seen their last fights, for now I am going to pick Bradley, I am not a big on picking a guy who is depending on a KO to win and cant win over 12, what happens if the KO never comes? Look at the Khan fight, he almost stopped him but Khan weathered the storm and came through.

 

You have to expect maidana will get a nasty cut as well though. I am not digging bradley because you can only have so many cut opponents before it becomes accidental due to style to blatant. He knows if he keeps his head down like that eventually they will slam into it

 

only to dinner....

 

Bradley needs to stop coming in wild. He has the skills so he should use them. Coming in wild against a big puncher like Maidana is a death wish. Also as soon as Maidana gets headbutted he'll want to get payback ASAP.

 

Holt knocked Bradley down twice, I don't see why Maidana couldn't

 

Definitely... but still seeing Bradley winning on points and cuts
