    Two very tough guys who weren’t the fastest or most powerful punchers but had a rock solid chin. Who ends up out hustling the other? Palomino has the edge in body punching while Bradley is more athletically gifted and the better boxer.

    Depends which Bradley shows up really. I do think he was immensely gifted and talented as a fighter, when he chose to box on the back-foot he could look really marvellous. But then he could also be drawn into firefights a little too easily and that's not something you really want against someone who thrives so much up close and in exchanges like Palomino.

    I think Bradley was too fast for Carlos ...

    I’m leaning towards Bradley by a close decision
