I say this because for the last year I have read sooo many posts/threads about fights that haven't or won't happen(you know the ones I'm talking about). But for the last week (two days especially) EVERYONE is posting back and forth opinions about the Bradley-Alexander fight THAT IS ACTUALLY GOIN TO HAPPEN!!!!!! In this day and age of everyone holding out for the big bucks and there "being no money" in actual competitive fights, this type of event is a breath of fresh air. Thank you for who ever is responsible for doing away with the bull and putting two young, undefeated beltholders in the ring together and not waiting years to "build it up".:happy:happy:happy:happy:happy
I was one of the few stating this fight wouldn't take place, I am enjoying my humble pie. Kudos to both warriors!
theyre suppost to but fights that are suppost to dont happen now fighters are too concerned with their image as a top fighter and their bank balance , instead of actualy proving their the best
In the past few years we've had: Bradley-Alexander Bradley-Peterson Bradley-Holt Bradley-Witter Alexander-Witter Alexander-Kotelnik Kotelnik-Khan Kotelnik-Maidana Maidana-Ortiz Ortiz-Peterson Khan-Maidana Khan-Malignaggi Hatton-Malignaggi Pacquiao-Hatton Nobody should be surprised when two top guys are fighting each other at 140.
I agree with the original poster, but yeah, its sad that its come to this. These guys arent "building themselves up for a couple years" as is the custom with Arum.
Imo Alexander deserves more props cause he wanted to fight Bradley from day 1 ever since he was Bradley mandatory challenger. After Alexander tko Urango, the only fighter he mention all the time was Bradley. Alexander called out Bradley many times i lost count. Bradley admit the reason he took this fight cause he had no choice cause nobody wanted to fight him.
