Thank goodness people are making note of this match-up. This is the other fight that people want to see... Tim Brad vs. Amir Khan!
Timid Timmy in his own words... [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5WPQ-IweIM&feature=youtube_gdata_player[/ame]
sounds like the khan bradley fight could happen at 140, after all. if i was bradley i would make it happen, this his best chance to beat khan. up at 147 khan will be too big and strong. we saw how average bradley was against abregu.
i think that too, but i give bradley a chance at 140, i dont at 147. khan is what he is at 140. class fighter but he aint banging guys out and he's starting to struggle to make the weight. at 147 he'll be much better because he has a quality stregnth and conditioning coach in ariza, he'll put the weight on in the right places and improve resistance, stamina, strength power with out losing speed. 147 is khans natural weight where as 140 is bradleys.
I see your point, but Khan uses his height range well, Tim will have to eat that long jab from Khan all night.
yeah i agree. bradley has very little to offer when trying to get past khans long fast jab and even if he does he'll get popped with an uppercut or straight right.
:good Spot on, Khan striaght right is light speed fast after the jab, even if Bradley slips that jab Khan can double it up or have the right hand ready.
:good yeah imo peterson causes khan more problems than bradley, purely on petersons size and good jab.
I watched Tim Bradleyfor the first time live vs Junior Witter - and I was impressed. Wanted to call it an upset but realised I didn't know much about him and he went into the Hitters back yard and dealt with him. Kid could fight, no heavy puncher but good pressure fighter and can stick to a gameplan. As his fight count continued he ticked more boxes. But wasn't getting the air time and recognition. Along comes Khan and I'm thinking this is going to be explosive. Khan is super fast and Tim would present a different set of problems, could be a good tactical battle, and both have beaten their rivals to set a fight against each other after a gentlemans agreement. But all of a sudden Tim decided he doesn't want to rick his '0' to Khan. Classic case of a duck, walking & quacking. He missed his chance to settle the score on his terms, even if he did get less money for it. If he didnt duck he would have been held in higher esteem among boxing fans and would have enjoyed larger sums of money and publicity going forward. Its uphill now for him IMO.
At 140 I can see Khan dominating the first few rounds, but getting caught by Bradley mid-rounds and having to hang on down the stretch.
