    Setanta - Blame kosaros if this is not true.

    Implications for British boxing

    Should Hatton lose to Pacquiao, and perhaps Marquez, slim chance he faces the winner here?

    The fight is on setanta just to let you know.

    This a real close, interesting fight and I will be staying up for it. Bradley UD for me - just think he may be the more busier of the two on the night.

    By the way, don't forget to vote chaps. We need to get an accurate reflection of the Brit forum views. This forum has been on the money so far in every TFFP "vote analyze discuss" thread.

    I don't rate Holt that much.

    I can see Bradley either winning a comfortable UD or taking Holt out late in the contest.

    I've gone Bradley UD in the poll.

    It's interesting that many boxing fans favour Bradley strongly. Looking at the competition as I've listed it, Kendall Holt has by far more depth in competition. The bookies also have this close. If the Brit forum turns out correct once more..there is value here.

    Bradley UD, maybe late TKO. Holt has a softish chin. Bradley although very basic and simple is also very effective. Should be a good fight.

    Bradley UD, if he lands that bomb he landed on Witter then i can see him getting a KO as Holts chin is pretty garbage.

    Really don't rate Holt. Had a couple of quality fights with Torres but has struggled with people far worse than Bradley. I would rather see him rematching Torres really, he was in trouble till the headbutt.

    I went for Bradley UD but I'm thinking maybe a Bradley KO now. Having said that Bradley is still fairly unproven so I'm ready to look a right twat after the fight.

    looking forward to this one, i picked bradleydecision as he is younger and more focused imo, although i wouldnt be surprised if holt gets the decision its gonna be a close one

    Bradley late TKO.
    I still think he's getting underrated while never that impressed with Holt who has an egg chin. The headbutt turned the Torres rematch round a full 360 degrees.
    I know i'm saying the same as most of the previous posters but that's my take.

    Bradley looks like a beast. I would say someone that big is a good couple of weight divisions above their natural weight but then it looks like he might carry the muscle like Roy. Mesomorph I believe he is, small bone structure, huge muscle mass.

    He was actually talking about dropping to lightweight last year, when that division was hot.
