I hope Alexander doesn't invoke the rematch clause, he really wasn't impressive tonight, did not commit at all.
I've got to say how much posing Timmy did, how he seemed to be somewhat confused and also unwilling to punch in combination against a moving target, has me somewhat reconsidering his chances against Khan. Those problems are only going to be a lot more harshly presented by Khan who will actually extend his punches correctly and more consistently. I think Khan became a decent sized favourite tonight purely because of how the fight played out.
I agree, I was thinking just that. The only difference though is that Alexander moved his head more then Khan would and we all know that Khan isn't the hardest to catch off against the ropes. Is anyone else worried that Top Rank will try and bring Bradley in as Pacquaio's next opponent just to get one over Golden Boy. It seems to be all they are interested in nowadays and taking Bradley away from Khan takes away the big fight Amir needs to cement his place as a star.
I thought it was absorbing technically, but Alexander knew very early that Bradley could hurt him, so he kept his distance as much as possible. Put it this way: the Kotelnik fight was not an abberation - Alexander is so flawed and one-dimensional that he can't deal with an opponent who doesn't just walk onto his shots. So he played stayaway all night, held up close, and on the occasions he did throw, missed spectacularly. The punch stats may have been close, but Bradley threw punches, not love-taps.
I'll wait until I head the post fight reports of what is wrong with Alexander before passing final judgement, but it does look like he bitched out. Was a close fight, but Bradley was the clear victor. However.... another Timothy Bradley fight where headbutts have been pivotal. I disagree strongly with how Alexander went about his business at the end of the fight, but... they do have a point with regards to Bradley and headbutts. I don't even know how much Bradley means them, but he does seem to injure a lot of opponents with his head, and almost never comes off worst.
After the first big headbutt, DA's corner told him not to worry and he still won the round even though he clearly lost it. I can only assume that they continued to suck on his dick and then Devon took the ***** way out after the continual headbutts thinking he was winning. He deserved to lose and I give Bradley credit for taking his scalp. I still think Khan has the beating of Tim though.
And i'd like to add that Chavez jr is fn torture. I hope he stays unbeaten for Sergio to collect a huge paycheck totally annihilating him. This is one mismatch I would enjoy :yep
