    Up until the Kotelnik bout...he was still fighting like an amateur, as in fighting without a gameplan. I think he is far from showing his best because he is still learning the pro game...but I think Roach can definitely get the best out of him.

    Bradley vs Abregu is dangerous for one main reason in my book- Tim loves a good brawl, and may be more willing than usual to open up so he can look as impressive as possible for the fans to push for a Mayweather or Pacquaio fight.

    If he does that too much, Abregu's got the right mix of qualities to potentially pull off the upset over the smaller, but clearly more skilled Bradley.

    If Tim fights disciplined, he should take this on points pretty clearly...but would just winning be enough, or will he see it as a case where he's really got to lay a whipping on Abregu in highlight reel fashion to make some noise? It's going to be a delicate line to balance for Bradley because as raw as Abregu is skillwise compared to Bradley, he's still bigger, hits harder, can put his punches together, has his fair share of heart as well, and is dangerous when hurt.

    I think this is going to be a much better fight than it's getting credit for and it's coming with a higher risk than a "look-good" fight typically does. As disappointed as I am that Bradley's not fighting Alexander right away, Abregu's a good challenge for him and a good fight for us.
