SUPER UNIFICATION: Amir Khan vs Timothy Bradley July 23rd for WBA/WBC/WBO/Ring Title

Its a tough one because I like both fighters so much, its one of those fights where both fighters would 'win' in the sense that the loser wouldnt lose much in terms of credibility and the opportunity of making it to the top.
At the moment, i see khan winning this. But Khan doesnt seem as good in the last 4 rounds as he does the first 4 and bradley is one of those fighters who finishes strongly. Also Bradley can work his way on the inside well and has more than enough tools to trouble khan. I see bradley being the more accurate puncher but khan landing more, giving him the edge on the scorecards.
Im going with Khan but not voting because my opinion may change. Still a big night for boxing that would be.

 

I have no doubt Bradley wins this. The more i watch Khan, the more he reminds me of a better version of Paulie Magli. There is no slickness in his game. He gets hit way too easily. He's a straight up fighter.

 

Oh WOW!

Didn't know that. I def. over reacted, I just know he must have felt so clever with that last bit in his post. Bet he's still pullin' his little pud now thinkin' about it. He needs to get the **** on to bed, word on the street is, 5th grade gonna be intense as a mother ****er tommorow.:yep

 

Because styles make fights. I know Bradley will win, probably via UD, but it wouldn't shock me if he gets a late stoppage via accumulation.

Khan is overrated. I don't see a lot of skill. I see a lot of hand speed, size, all natural born stuff but not skill. The guy is basically a straight up fighter with a good jab. No slickness. Doesn't throw from angles. Can't really side step guys. Gets hit very easily. Now maybe he'll get better but if they fight now, Bradley beats him.

 

Yeah, Bradley via KO/TKO is about as likely as me smashing Cheryl Cole's pasty :rofl

 

atsch

 

I'm going w/ Khan via UD. I expect to see some headbutting in this fight. I just hope none of them will be serious enough where the fight has to be stopped. I hate to see those kind of stoppages.

 

Just keep telling yourself that. I hope this fight happens cause i plan on winning a lot of money. Bradley knows how to get inside. Khan is easy to hit, way too straight up and basic. Bradley can come from angles. Khan will be in a dog fight and no one outhustles Bradley.

 

Khan is not very skilled for a world class fighter. Similar to Berto, he's a guy that gets by way more than physical gifts/athleticism than boxing skills. He has speed, a very good jab, and decent pop, but his footwork and defense are poor. He's one dimensional; good from the outside, but can't fight on the inside and he's not all that good at mid-range either. He doesn't move and fight with the sort of comfort and fluidity you see from the best fighters. It's like he's a programmed fighter.

Khan has the edge of speed and size/dimensions, and will look at catch Bradley when he gets wild. Bradley has a tendency to get sloppy and leave himself open, especially when he throws that right hand. Sometimes you see fast (or powerful) fighters that get the respect from their opponents and make them leary. RJJ and Mayweather come to mind. If Khan can get Bradley's respect from the outside and make him tenative, then it plays well for Khan. But I doubt Khan has the accuracy and ring generalship to do this. Khan will have success in spots, and perhaps more credit from some (including Compubox) when he throws quick flurries, but it'd be more flash than substance.

Bradley has a couple of glaring flaws himself; his tendency to be wild and leave himself open, poor punching technique (slapping, not turning shots over, punching AT rather than THROUGH the target) which results in him not having enough power, but he's well-rounded enough for me to favor him.

 

Couldn't have said it better myself. Bravo.

 

You know your ****, TS. ...However if we should ever disagree I will change that opinion out of insecurity.

 

:deal

 

I am betting heavy on Khan when this fight happens. Even if in the U.S.. HBO has just as much invested in Khan, possibly more in relation to Bradley, so the judges will not screw Khan over. Khan's length, speed an inability to get bullied around by Bradley will carry the day.
