Both bring interesting styles. A lot of people think Bradley is boring but i like him. Neither fighter fantastic in any single department both all rounders. Who would your money be on?
In reality though, I would favor Bradley by a surprisingly wide margin. Garcia can be outboxed as Khan was demonstrating- but Bradley doesn't have Khan's defensive flaws.
Bradley is smarter, more defensively responsible, and harder to hit than both Khan and Judah... Watch the first 6 rounds of Garcia - Matthysse... Those were skillful rounds, and Matthysse (not as skilled or fast as Bradley) was outboxing him
I thought Khan outboxed Garcia initially but after researching him for my article I realise Garcia is great at adapting. He adapted well to Khan's speed and was able to time his KO counter brilliantly. Thought it was a lucky punch at first but he's done it a few times now. That's the thing with Garcia. He adjusts well during the fight. He did this against Matthysse and did enough to win most of the later rounds after figuring him out. Bradley - Garcia probably looks similar to the Judah fight. Garcia had a great strategy that fight and executed perfectly. He cut off the ring pretty well at times and was able to line up his right hand a lot. He also timed Zab's attacks perfectly a couple of times with his counters. I think these skills would work well against Bradley. Bradley's faster but I don't think he's smarter. I agree Bradey's more defensively responsible but Garcia takes one hell of a punch and Bradley doesn't have much power. Very hard fight to pick and would love to see it happen but it looks like winner Bradley/Pac will face Marquez.........sigh.
The eye-swelling is what changed the fight for him. It's arguable, but I have no choice but to believe what I see with my own eyes. It's at best inconclusive evidence as to whether or not he adapted to Matthysse... At worst, it proves he would have lost the fight without it... It's all speculation but that only emphasizes my point; did he adapt or did the swelling give him the upper hand? I know u did research for ur article or whatever, but this is just wrong... Bradley and Judah have nothing in common I think u should do a little more research on Bradley First of all, what does Bradley being defensively responsible have to do with Garcia taking a hell of a shot?? :? Did you happen to research how Garcia always fades late in tough fights? ALWAYS including against Matthysse It's like this, Garcia adapted to Khan (who hasn't shown any ability to avoid a counter left hook since) and Morales (a well past his prime career featherweight) Bradley adapted to Manny Pacquiao (swept the last 3 rounds according to most objective observers) and Juan Manuel Marquez: 2 of the best p4p fighters in the world...
