    I've gone for a Bradley decision, though a TKO wouldn't be too surprising. Like a few others here, I don't think Holt is quite as good as he's made out to be (though still a very decent fighter) and I think Bradley is the fresher, hungrier and stronger willed of the two.
    Physically, he reminds me a little of Bryant Brannon in shape/size, but he's deceivingly quick and effective with his work. I can see him outworking Holt to win a decision or even wearing him down and scoring the KO. Holt's chin has failed him in the past.

    Hedging my bets; Bradley dec.
    I've seen 3 Bradley fights and I do rate him. He's a good all rounder, slick when he wants to be, he can stand and fight, he's fast and hecan punch. Nice guy too seemingly.

    Agreed, Bradley looks very good to me. Good all-round fighter, there is no one department he looks less than good in, which makes him a tough proposition. The kid seems mentally with it also.

    Holt is decent, but there are a few weaknesses to be exploited.

    I rate Bradley highly, I think he has good workrate, good speed, he is a very clean, accurate puncher. Has some power to boot. Nice footwork.

    I think he is the best established fighter at 140 outside of Hatton. Either a UD for Bradley or a late TKO IMHO.

    I think Bradley will take this by late TKO. Although not really known for his KOs, he has more than enough power to trouble Holt, who's chin is very suspect. Like most have said before he is pretty good at everything.

    Holt hasn't impressed me really. I felt he was extremely lucky with the headbutt against Torres. When he comes up against fighters with some power he has problems.

    Must admit i oppose you guys ... Holt for me by UD !

    Bradley im not impressed with - he beat an unfocused Witter who had his mind on personal issues and beat a very average Edna Cherry in unimpresive style ...
    Holts victory against Demi Hopkins was very good and i rate Hopkins highly so IMO that victory is greater than anything Bradley has achieved .... never mind the Torres duels..

    Its a cracking match up though ! but my cash will be on R Rated ....

    D Hopkins, really? What impresses you about little Hopkins? Can't say I've ever seen anything in him, and I would also disagree that Holt performed well against him. It was difficult to look good since Hopkins was running, and good he wasn't.

    Agreed. Bradley is unproven, but I like the look of him. Bradley by late TKO/points

    Hoppos a good fighter to watch I like his counterpunching style. He may not be everybodies cup of tea but his movement is excellent and combintions are good - reminds me of the magic man ..

    IMO hopkins was an awkward fight for Holt hes not gonna stand and trade so the fact Holt won a decision makes it a good victory .

    Only 4 out of 29 voters have gone with Holt :shock:

    I think Bradley made quite an impression when he dethroned Witter.

    Im not really keen on either tbh.

    I think Witter made him look better than he did, his dad was diagnosed with lung cancer before that fight and he it was definitely an under par witter that showed up. Holt would have got KTFO against torres if it wasnt for the headbutt and he didnt impress against an inactive Hopikins

    More looking forward to the undercard probably but id go with the majority. Bradley close pts win in a dull fight.
