Bradley vs Maidana: Who Wins?

i take it you didn't see his fights with Pac and Provodnikov?

the difference though is, Pac can't really fight on the front foot, but when he did Tim was all over the place.

Prov caused him so many problems but Tim was able to get a breather when he boxed due to Prov needing to get his feet underneath him to get his punches off.

Prov was better in the Alvarado fight where his feet is concerned. maybe Roach saw that he's too slow to let his hands go when in range because he really likes his feet underneath him a bit too much so he can let the big shots go, so they've been working on it. it's a problem with big punches sometimes when they fight on the front foot.

Maidana doesn't have that problem. he's in position at all times when on the front foot. he's a bit goofy, granted. but he still has his feet underneath him to fire off. he's not slow to let go in the slightest.

whether Bradley boxes on the back foot or fights toe to toe with Maidana, he still will not win this fight. i see Maidana pretty much dominating until he's beaten Tim down enough to get the stoppage.

 

i agree that Bradley easily out-boxes Broner to a wide UD.

just like we saw in the Marquez fight with him not being able to box on the front foot. Broner can't fight there either. so a wide win is there for Bradley, no question.

 

you not picking the Black fighter???

what. a. shock. :huh

 

do you really give credit for the performance that Alexander put on against Maidana?

he hit then grabbed hold all night without even so much as a point being taken. that fight is null and void for me. it's legit if you win within the rules. not outside of them.

 

Exactly. Now they want to put Maidana in a pedestal after taking at least 5 rounds off Mayweather. Let him fight Alexander or Morales again and they would box his ears off.

 

Bradley could beat Maidana in my opinion. He could slug it out with him and out box him, would have trouble but do enough in my opinion. Maidana beat Mayweather imo, but caught him at the right time and has the right style for a guy who doesn't like inside fighting. As for Pacquiao his punch resistance is fading but he seems to excel against come forward fighters and Maidana did not look his best against Ortiz or Alexander I think south paws trouble him. Provodnikov vs. Maidana would be a classic.
