    Bradley wide UD. Bradley is the more rounded and accomplished fighter. As another poster said so perfectly the other day on here, Alexander made Kotelnik look like Bernard Hopkins. If Alexander can summon another nightmare punch like the one that felled Urango, he could end the fight, as Bradley was hurt by Holt, but I don't expect this.

    I hope Alexander wins, if he does he has to stop him. But Bradley comfortable UD for me.

    Bradley by close decision or Alexander by late stoppage... either scenario I can see happening.

    I hope bradley wins and think he will, as long as he dont get clocked by that uppercut and left hook he will outbox devon, i wouldnt be surprised to see a stoppage from either side.

    Right-hook. But yeah a stoppage isn't out of the question for either, Alexander can evidently bang when factoring in his speed and angles, and Bradley has been hurt and down in the past. Likewise Alexander's chin is relatively untested but he seemed to be buzzed by a couple of right's from Kotelnik. People may argue Bradley isn't a puncher but it's just not in his style, I think if he sets his feet and follows through his power is certainly higher than Kotelnik's, and he can land sharp, accurate punches of Alexander that will do some damage.

    Should be a great fight though, can't wait. It's lost it's aura somewhat because of Alexander's performance against Kotelnik but he's a very tricky customer and Alexander got a bit over-excited trying to break him down rather than box him being in front of 10,000 of his own fans. Hopefully he can up his game after that and provide us with a good contest.

    Alexander by controversial home town split decision, that will have ESB members fighting about it for quite a while, up until the rematch!

    Why would Alexander get a home-town decision? It's in Michigan.

    Bradley by UD

    Alexander couldn't hurt (let alone TKO) Kotelnik, so he has little chance of doing the same to Bradley.

    Bradley by decision. He's simply in another league to Alexander. Physical attribute wise, and talent wise, they are similar. But when it comes to ring smarts, timing and gameplans, Bradley is far superior to Alexander. Devon hasn't really ever show adaptablity, and hasn't looked good fighting under pressure. His gameplan is to do the same thing over and over again until it works. He did this against Urango, where his power and Urango's clumsiness bailed Alexander out, and he did it against Kotelnik, where the judges bailed him out. He's fighting a better fighter next month. And he better have a plan B, becuase if he doesn't, he's losing this fight badly.

    No his left hook is heavy, watch the juniuor witter fight and you will see why, hat was an off night for alexander so i think we shall see alot more from him, bradley is the better all round fighter and my fav of the two.

    Beade may not be a puncher but he isnt weak and earns your respect from speed and precision.

    But alexander is alot bigger than tim and i didnt realise this, so that will be a factor aswel.
