04/04 - Timothy "Desert Storm" BRADLEY vs. Kendall "Rated R" HOLT

Also, iirc Hopkins was a late stand in opponent was he not? I remember the fight being hard to score and I wasn't that impressed with Holt...

Perhaps Bradley is being overrated because of the win over Witter but I'm going for Bradley UD. Maybe TKO...

 

Bradley in that video seemed wound up and up tight then normal. he actually let slip that he is going to attack Holts biggest weakness which is the right hand over Holts jab, Holt rises up as he throws it and Torres exploited it within 20 secs of second fight.

I remember during the witter fight constantly moaning that if junior actually used the jab and fients he would of beat Bradley as Bradley likes to stay at mid range and pounce and slip and land a short right hand. when Witter did jab he caught him so Holt does have skills to beat Bradley but Bradley has skills to beat Holt and thats why i cant wait for this fight.

I'm leaning towards Bradley as i feel Holts vulnerable and Bradley hits hard enough and slips well and counters quickly but i wouldn't be surprised if Bradley allows Holt to get into rhythm Holt clocking up points and taking a ud. Holt for me as to circle to Bradley's left and work jab and counter using uppercut and check hook as well because Bradley can be reckless defensively and with his head. I say it be yet another fantastic setanta fight.

 

I thought it was a watchable fight.

Bradley looked pretty decent to me, if perhaps lacking a little in reach, and holding a flapping weakish left.

People will comment on the knockdowns, but he did very well to get up from the first (it was a hell of a shot) and he was unaffected by both immediately afterwards - its not like he was all over the place.

Still, being caught by those shots still raises questions I suppose.

I had a small wager on TB, so

Well, Tim Desert Storm Bradley, now a unified champ at 140.

 

Yeah it was an ok fight.

Went pretty much as I expected, apart from the knockdowns.

I had it 114-112 Bradley

I don't feel either fighter is anything special, both pretty average champs. Bradley is just a decent fighter.

Nate Campbell v Timothy Bradley would be a good scrap, pretty even fight IMO.

Looking forward to downloading the lightweight lightning card tomorrow (today)
