Khan is going to rip them belts off Bradley like he was his Father.....

So called? We ARE all experts on here, mostly. Give or take.

Bradley wasn't too impressive in dealing with problems I thought he'd do better with. I mean he was doing enough, but I thought he'd be willing to punch in combinations, I thought he'd be willing to miss to get off against a mover, I thought he'd feint more against a mover and make it count once he got into range, but he seemed unwilling somehow. Almost lacklustre, and disinterested. It was quite surprising. Khan has to be a decent favorite now by simply asking the same questions to a higher standard. Alexander's jab is borderline pathetic for a start and he never did much himself.

 

try never to judge a guy on one fight but i have to say bradleys got nothing outstanding about him , hes strong but other than that his atributes dont look like they will make roach and khan lose any sleep

 

I was kidding

Bradley just seemed to pose too much and he didn't have the fire I'd expect. Okay so the guy was backpedalling and holding in close, the styles did not mesh at all, but I expected Bradley in that eventuality to get through comfortably if not impressively. He only really needed to use his jab, and follow it in with combinations to win this fight very easily because Alexander had no substance at all. Maybe it was a poor night, who knows, but it doesn't bode well because Khan can ask the same questions with a lot more substance behind it. Khan's jab isn't a crappy little weak flick. Khan will work consistently even when showing Bradley some movement, he is a longer puncher than Alexander and a faster puncher. The only thing I can think of that might trouble Bradley more about Alexander is the southpaw factor and how he was ducking in close and holding whereas Khan is very upright and a bit clueless as far as spoiling.

Overall I went from slightly favoring Bradley to making Khan a 1/2 favorite in my own mind.

 

Would Khan even fight Bradley? After what happened in the Maidana fight it looks like he wants a lightweight like Katsidis or Murray.

 

As mentioned above, you should never judge a fighter on one bout, especially one with such a clash of styles.

Khan needs to be very careful in over analyzing last nights bout and becoming too confident, he needs to keep in mind the above factors.

For me, it will be Bradley decision over Khan. Khan has great speed, but I saw glimpses of his limitations in the Paulie fight and they were pretty much confirmed for me in Maidana bout. It's just a matter of time before he steps in the ring with someone who has a decent level of speed and good technical ability.. and he will become unstuck. For me both Bradley and Alexander would defeat him

 

styles make fights mate

alexander is a spoiler and it would be hard to look good against him

khan vs bradley is a genuine 50-50

hopefully it happens in the summer with maidana vs alexander as the chief support

 

This.Alexander is like that other spoiler from St. Louis -Spinks.Terrible for fans.:tired

 

i remember steve bunce once said 'bradley does everything well , but nothing amazing.' couldnt agree more.

 

Khan will give Bradley note opportunities to let his hands go. What we saw last night is that by being really negative and not landing anything of substance you will still lose a decision to Bradley.

Khans jab isn't good enough. Bradley still showed quality defensive awareness when Alexander, who has fast hands, let them go. Khans best bet is to employ the Kotelnik gameplan, effective, but not much clean punches lading (definitely not aajndt Bradley IMO)

Bradley didn't look amazingly adaptable I agree, but he has before. Last night doesn't suddenly give Khan the boxing ability he'll need to beat Bradley.

My opinion hasn't changed :good

Darnis post reeks of bitterness as well.

 

Kahn doesn't do everything well, he has clear flaws. What does Khan do which is amazing?

 

Alexander has fast hands but his punch technique is crap Flea, you must have noticed that. Particularly his jab, what is that exactly? He never fully extends his jab, its awful. There can not be any power in that, and it doesn't maintain any kind of control over range. He seems to think barking adds weight to it.

 

Check out my previous mate, I've never rated Devons power or technique, i've labelled him a sloppy puncher on many occassions.

Khan is better, but still not what I would call a 'good puncher', in fact his foot placement and technique when throwing his flurries is one thing that makes me cringe, it pushes him closer and closer to danger. Surely you, as good an analyst as I have ever come across, would have noticed that?! :good

Did that show a few flaws in Bradley? For sure, he just followed Devon all night! Doesn't mean Khan is the man to finish the job IMO, as much as a lot of Brits want that to be the case. He is also a massively flawed operator.

I will be in the minority but I had Timmy up one round at the time of the stoppage IIRC. Scrapy fight, Alexander was shown up to be exactly what I thought he was, immature and too rough around the edges.

Skys top ten was pathetic! Kotelnik at 9!!?! I've got him at 3, and still have after last night. Alexander remains at 5, Marcos at 4, Timmy and Amir as clear 1 and 2 respectively, and very very closely matched whatever way you look at it.

In hindsight, Judah wouldve been a pretty good opponent for April. When it was first bandied around I slagged it off, but Zab I'd clearly the best of a bad bunch of names being earmarked.

Holt would also be a good pick IMO, flawed but dangerous.
