    Still feel Storm will beat Alexander.

    I think his yapping plays into Bradley's hands, i think Bradley will get inside and destroy on inside and i think he will expose flaws in Alexander.

    He can send Alexander to Bodybuilding Conventions where he can show them Biceps off because he won't be worth looking at after he been hit by the Storm!!!

    Bradley is gonna' break him down and stop him down the stretch. Great win against Urango no doubt, but he was there for a gameplan to be built for. Against Witter and Kotelnik, he looked sloppy as ****.

    :lol:

    why are people quoting me from over 7 months ago?? this thread was made before khan fought paulie and not long after alexander knocked out urango.

    as it happens my feelings have slightly changed in that i would favour bradley in a close fight, but i do think people seem to be writing alexander off after one bad performance.

    Can see Bradley adapting and winning this late on. Alexander has good speed, no doubt, but his timing is all off and after a few rounds he will start to get countered, and although Bradley isn't a massive puncher, I think he will stop Alexander through accumulation.

    Very very tough to call this one. I think at this stage Bradley may be better rounded all round but I cannot get away from Devon's talent either. In fact neither fight would be easy for anyone but Alexander may be the more difficult for Ajose of the 2 stylistically. This is one for the afficionado's. Reminds me of Nunn versus Frank Tate.

    Bradley easily. Alexander is overrated.

    Bradley should take this, but he's gonna have to overcome perhaps a little struggle early and after a couple of rounds of adjustment. Tim can fight so many different ways, but he's better when he's counter punching and using tight circles and angles at mid range. The problem is these guys know that and are gonna try and force him to come forward and be the aggressor (which he would definitely be against Khan) but no problems he can fight as a pressure fighter too.

    Alexander is robotic and doesn't really vary the speed and look of his punches. He's one paced and becomes easy to figure out. I think Bradley will do a bit of everything in this fight, he'll lead, fight on the backfoot and occassionally sit in the pocket and go to work on the body. His right hand counter/straight will be key. It might start tactical and then get better with Timmy pulling it out, might make it a comfortable night for himself.
