    Well, Zab’s just Zab. He was basically the same skittish fighter he’s always been at the top level and, as always, he fell short. Khan did some things that were impressive – I thought his movement was good, I liked how he punched at angles, and he’s clearly mature enough to follow the gameplan. But it’s still Zab and I have the slight feeling that Zab’s lack of engagement served to flatter Amir a little.

    But, on the basis of that, I have the Bradley fight closer than I once did. Timmy, to my eyes, is the more balanced fighter with a better range of skills. Sure, he’s not a puncher, he’s not a pure boxer, etc… but he does use his variety of options to full effect. He’s defensively aware, good at maintaining and closing the distance, plus he uses a full variety of shots to head and body.

    A lot of people thought he was unimpressive against Alexander, but I don’t. He took a guy with fast hands, a high workrate and an explosive style, and contained him from the first round. He used his right hand leads to keep Devn off-balance and he used his feet to create angles that kept the younger man guessing. Timmy’s got some real tactical acumen, IMO.

    So, yeah, I was impressed with Khan’s maturity against Zab, but Zab didn’t even try to impose himself by letting his hands go. HE just looked for a way out.

    At what weight? :lol:

    You are right apart from Maidana Khan has not even lost a round to most these guys.

    Lots of people were picking Judah to beat or be in a 50-50 fight with him, but Khan blew him away.

    I stand by my views until Bradley beats Khan and I would happy to give him his dues, the only problem with that we need to get him in the ring first bs Khan something he so far is not willing to do.

    its more of an open handed jab. its a shot rom distance with his left hand he was catching judah on the side of his head. it was the perfect shot to throw at judah because of the way he pivots as a south pour.

    if bradley was so sure he beats khan then why didnt he follow up with the fight after all his talking?,surely he would have wanted to beat khan/unify and prove himself worthy of a floyd or a pacman fight??.

    Bradley doesnt have the power to defeat khan.

    He has good ish speed,aggresive,just a slugger mostly,khan would pick him off,easily counter him,maybe even stop him late.

    Not an improved left hook then is it? ;-)

    It's one of the few punches he still throws....abysmally.

    I think Khan beats him quite comfortably by decision and then Bradley won't be eating!

    I get what you mean, ripped was probably the wrong word.

    What Im saying is what makes you think that Khan is that more physichaly strong than Bradley? Height does not equal strength. I have never seen Bradley get manhandled at the weight. So to say Bradley would be like a ragdoll against Khan is overstating it.

    Khan is super speed not mad power

    I can switch that question on you, What makes you think Bradley is stronger than Khan?

    My answer is Khan's height, weight(More than Bradley in the ring), Style Khan like to push you off him(giving the rag doll effect). Just the much bigger guy in there, i was using rag doll at times as an example maybe it was a bit hard but thats my view, but again we can only find who is right when/if they fight.

    Another Accidental Headclash against MAB. Bradley comes in with head far more but Khan's no angel to these accidents and that's what they are accidents.

    I love that blooded shot of Barrera, the dirtiest player in the game getting the dirty done to him.
