    Finally, someone who acknowledges the truth. Bradley was more athletic and quicker overall, and had more stamina. Bradley is in great condition. In addition, he worked for his win by doing early bodywork that clearly affected Holt in the mid to late rounds, but he later abandoned it in late fight which allowed Holt to get back in the fight late. From what I saw, the bodywork clearly affected Holt more than anything in that fight. When Bradley got into this rhythm in the mid rounds, Holt looked discouraged and confused. To me, this proved that Bradley was the better man, regardless of who has more skills on paper.

    Junior Witter should be given a rematch with Bradley, he clearly a better boxer.

    I just became a fan of bradley. To get up from that nasty knockdown in the first round and win a convincing fight was great. Holt did not like those left hooks to the body at all, in fact one of them in the middle rounds took his legs away for a moment. I think overall the pressure bradley was applying to holt sickened him over the course of the fight as he simply did not want to put the effort in to fight with bradley.

    I don't get this "holt pulled a holt" talk, the simple fact is that Bradley boxed his ears off.

    Bradley wanted it more. He was busy and pushed his game plan. I was impressed with Holt not folding in the 7th or so when Bradley hit him with that body shot just above the belt. That punch hurts no matter who throws it. Holt needs to go back to the drawing board. He needs to conquer the mental aspect of boxing. He lost it mentally towards the middle and end of the bout. Hats off to Bradley for unifying and forcing his way into the big $$$ fights after this.

    Bradley deserves the credit for this win.

    He came foward the whole fight and made it uncomfortable for Holt.

    Bradley is a good fighter and just landed a big win-good for him.

    Holt didn't help his cause by half-assing it either.

    You can tell the whores that chime in not knowing **** about boxing or the actual fighters themselves. You whores actually believe Holt broke down from Bradley's weak pressure. Bradley came forward and was just trying to land body shots and was getting hit and hurt worse than Holt even though Holt was inactive. If you ****** ass whores ever seen Holt fight you would know that he was WAY off of his game and there was something up. Its not like Bradley IS a pressure fighter. Holt been in the ring with real pressure fighters with guess what...POWER. Bradley was there to be hit and Holt stopped him in his tracks and pushed him back with just a jab... If he would of fought with BOXING gameplan Bradley would of not been inside to get the body work off. Holt lost b/c his whole gameplan was to go for the knockout kind of like Judah.

    I must say Holt's Chin held up better than I thought it would.

    Bingo. Holt has always been a career under performer.

    I was live at the fight. Holt fought a good fight but Bradley landed so many ard body shots that if Holt would've been more active he would've seriously gassed. Bradley really landed some monsters to the body from the early rounds.

    Overall the fght was entertaining.


    Bradley is just a better fighter than Holt.

    Bradley's power is just fine when he sits on his punches, but the only punches he was sitting on were his body shots. He doesn't sit on his punches much, but I believe he's knocked down 4 or 5 of the guys he didn't knock out. Holt never left him the opening to sit on a head shot, so he didn't try to force the issue.

    His win over Hlathswayo was very good actually. Holt kicked his ass, and here's a guy who's beaten a number of titleholders.
