Anyway what was so good about Bradley work on the inside tonight? I saw a lot of ducking and holding for the most part.
Bradley did not let his hands go or cut off the ring well enough to be called "pressure" anything. Following? Chasing? Occasionally punching? Maybe.
Both fighters were unimpressive. I was expecting Bradley to knock Devon out of his wits but he just doesn't have the power.
Bradley had to become the pressure fighter in this fight because Alexander was trying to box from a distance, at least Bradley was trying to engage, probably he realized that he is in a really stinker of a fight :rofl
before the fight i thought erither guy would take khan now i think otherwise...khan would beat both their asses.
Team Bradley would love to make this fight but Oscar and his golden shower promotions will protect their Pancake-stani fighter from Timothy after seeing his spectacular performance tonight. Team Bradley doesn't need to fight him, they already established that they are the class of the 140 pound division and that all roads in the division lead to him. Timothy and his team will not allow Oscar and his cronies to dictate terms and give out lowball offers like they did with the Irish fellow and that one black guy with the hair. 50-50 is more than fair and if Oscar offers one cent less than Timothy can move on to the welterweight division for bigger paydays because he has nothing else to prove at 140 pounds.
How the HECK is someone mentally tougher than Amir Khan? He fought and held on for dear life against arguably the strongest and hardest punching machine from Argentina of 140 in the lower weight classes after getting the crap beat out of him for over a round. And he won! Amir Khan has the power, the handspeed, the mental fortitude, the workrate, the IQ and actually everything else in terms of physical advantages. This fight showed me one thing: Amir Khan and Marcos Maidana are the top dogs of 140.
Dr. Shaw your post is the perfect example of idiots who come on ESB with zero boxing knowledge. Not only was this NOT a spectacular fight, but both Bradley and Khan have stated that they want to fight each for unification later in the year, and Bradley even said after this fight that Khan was "on the top of his list". In addition, every time Bradley has been asked about the WW division, he has said he isn't even thinking about it because there is so much left to do at 140 lbs. atsch
Bradley has shown on a number of occasions he can win under any circumstances, and he has fought better competition than Khan, overall. Bradley is not a protected fighter...but, Khan is. Khan showed a lot of heart against Maidana. It was a great win. But, Khan had to convince people, he had heart. And people still question it...even now. No one questions Bradley's heart, or his mental fortitude.
No no no...you are wrong....ive watched Khan since the amateurs.....he's always had heart....what people questioned was his chin (beacause of the ko loss to prescott) what he proved in the Maidana fight was that he had a good chin....no way as bad as many people had said since his 1st loss....and he just reinforced the fact that he has an unlimited amount of heart and mental fortitude....
Khan has proven heart. Far more heart in a far harder fight than Bradley ever had. He never got sent to ***** street by the strongest puncher in the division. Khan did. And he won. Besides, stylistically/physically speaking, Khan is all wrong for Bradley. If you cannot hurt Khan like Maidana or Prescott can (people that have enough power in their jabs that can KD someone), you cannot beat him as he showed in his last fight. By virtue of workrate alone you would lose to the Khan we have today. If Bradley ever gets close, he's just going to get held down by Khan so he couldn't even throw a punch. If he stays outside, too much punch volume will pile points for Khan. If Khan baits Bradley to become the aggressor, Bradley's going to look just as bad as he did tonight, probably worse.
