    Enjoy (Sorry if Posted Before on Here) :good

    I just cannot take to Alexander.......Bradley on other hand is brutally honest on all aspects of his game as well as Alexander's.

    Bradley is one of the most honest men you'll meet out there from what it seems, so it's kind of expected that the other guy may not have as good as impression as Bradley would give.

    I can't take to Alexander at all. Not to do with him saying yes to every question on there in ring abilities and resume's. His smirking and grin just annoys me...

    Agreed. I don't like it either. He's got a pretty bland personality aswell. He mumbles in interviews and grunts in fights louder than any other fighter.

    Alexander comes across as incredibly dim. Smug too.

    And you can see the intelligence in Bradley - he's taking everything in. Sensible, evidence-based - smart.

    :good Agree on both accounts. Thought it was just me...the longer that interview went on the more he grated on me. I cannot stand Cunningham as well...the lack of class he shows is night and day compared to Joel Diaz who was very quiet but seemed content to allow his fighter the spotlight.

    HBO can "superfight" this all they want, its just 2 featherfisted midget musclemen who can't draw flies to ****.

    He certainly did a great job of that against Kotelnik! :lol:

    Alexander's getting bashed up. He's a one-dimensional speedster.

    He out-threw Kotelnik, but he barely landed. It was a terrible showing: inaccurate, lacking discipline, without a clear strategy... Basically, he just threw the jab at air and flurried on Kotelnik's arms. Kotelnik, meanwhile, was landing hard ones and twos and busting Devon up.

    I didn't even think it was close to score. Had Kotelnik up by three rounds, I believe. Kotelnik's a hard night's work, but Devon couldn't get anything going.

    He's one-dimensional because he only fights one way (pretty simple, really). He doesn't adjust over the course of a fight. When he wasn't having success with Kotelnik's guard and pressure, he just did the same thing with even less success.

    Bradley, conversely, is multi-dimensional. He can pressure opponents, jab and move, he can slug on the inside and he can counter. He's sometimes done it within the space of a single fight.

    You just need to look at Tim - he's very, very clever. He's always looking for openings, placing his shots and creating openings.

    Alexander's a decent fighter, but very uncultured when he fights.
