    abregu is not very good IMO, he was shook up by irving garcia and guiterez, and has not fought an elite fighter to date...with that being said, he is a puncher, and is bigger than timmy but i dont see him having a realistic chance.

    Nah not really. The scene has a sparring session on tape, Abregu sparring Sadam Ali. Abregu looked very ordinary. Slow and wide, but that said, that's all I've seen of him. On first impressions taking him lightly is fine.

    I've been wondering the same thing myself with how much it seems like Tim's looking ahead when he's been interviewed. He's clearly more skilled than Abregu, but Abregu isn't the kind of guy you want to come in unfocused against because he's still a dangerous fighter, particularly when he's hurt himself.

    That said, what little I have heard Tim talk about Abregu has been pretty classy and straightforward, which is par for the course for Bradley. The worst I've heard him call Abregu is "basic", and he acknowledges that Luis is a big, strong, hard hitting fighter at the weight. So maybe he is taking the fight as seriously as he should... it's just a red flag to me when I hear fighters look ahead like it sounds like he's been doing.

    No he isn't. Bradley's being dead serious and knows Abregu's main attribute is his power and that his right hand is deadly. He's been studying him thoroughly from what I've head.

    bradley's in danger with this fight. Abregu's a big puncher at 147. bradley's a light hitter at 140. i think bradley made a mistake.

    I've seen several of Abregu's fights. If Bradley is taking him lightly that is a huge mistake. That said, I seriously doubt Bradley is taking him lightly. Abregu is a very good fighter. He has a lot of offensive weapons and throws combinations.

    His biggest downside to me is his defense. He gets a little reckless at times. But this guy can fight.

    I definitely think Bradley has the edge but don't be surprised if there are some dangerous moments in this fight. I could see both going down before its over.

    I hate to pick against Abregu but I think Bradley wins getting off the canvas in the later rounds.

    stupid post... you take anybody lightly and you'll get knock out and you'll lose all you have work for and have to start from the bottom again

    You're stupid Jackass, 'you'll get knocked out and you'll lose' no **** Sherlock. You'd make a great coach. Listen up Forrest Abregu is ordinary, a no body, its an exhibition.
