Part 3:

DEVON ALEXANDER: Timmy has an excellent record. He is undefeated, so he has to have something in his arsenal to be undefeated at this point in his career. I don’t dwell on it too much - I am like him on that. A guy with six losses can come in there and hit you with a lucky shot and knock you out. I don’t take anybody for granted and you have to be prepared.

What is the situation with the rematch clause? Is it immediate? What if another big fight comes calling after this one?

TIMOTHY BRADLEY: That’s a good question. I haven’t thought about it but I am sick of chasing people and calling people out so I am going to just let it come to me. I have to make the decision that is best for me and my family and just roll with it. We have the rematch clause and we need to do it whether it is this year or the following year.

TIMOTHY BRADLEY: I just want to constantly fight the best. I will become the best by fighting the best and giving the boxing fans the best fights out there that can possible be made. I am sick of fighting average guys. The top 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 – let’s go. Win this fight, who’s next? Khan? Let’s go. After Khan, Maidana, let’s go. After him...Marquez. There are so many fights out there to be made at 140. It’s great and I’m loving it.

Bradley dropped the belt instead of fighting you…

DEVON ALEXANDER: I am a firm believer that things happen for a reason. This is the right time for this fight to happen so it must not have been the right time to fight. Now we are fighting so of course it is a good thing now.
TIMOTHY BRADLEY: Normally when you have an orthodox fighter and a southpaw fighter fighting it usually isn’t (a good fight), but I think because this fight is so huge it is going to be interesting to see what I do and what he does. Dealing with a southpaw it is all about angles…fighting for position.

I blame Lazarus for the appalling ticket sales of this fight. I mean look at this build-up thread, and compare it to the epic one he made for Khan-Maidana.

That was a great build-up thread.

And thinking about it, the two that he's produced, Khadana and Bradlexander, are very accurate reflections of the hype the two fights managed to drum up.

Khadana - 100 odd pages
Bradlexander - 6 pages

Maaaan, give me a break .

Khan/Maidana just had so many pictures because Khan's Twitter Team kept putting them up daily and it had a lot more build-up too, so that's another reason :good

News/Notes/Talks:

Arum Agrees: Alexander-Bradley on The Pacquiao Road

"Absolutely [the winner would have merit]. Of course. That merits some consideration. It would of course depend a lot on how good the winner looked in the fight that they had with each other. But absolutely, assuming that they looked good, I would definitely consider either one of them for that fight," Arum said.

"Instead of putting it in a high-visibility location where they would draw a significant crowd, I think that they buried the fight by putting it Pontiac. In Pontiac, I don't think that that's a place where that fight is going to get a particularly large attendance or any attendance really at all. That's really unfortunate. I assume that Tim Bradley didn't want to fight in Devon Alexander's home town of St. Louis. But that's where the fight belonged," Arum said.

Amir Khan on Bradley-Alexander

I want to fight the winner of that fight and then maybe move up [to welterweight.] I want to have a fight inbetween that fight. I want to stay busy. There is no reason to wait six months.

Bradley-Alexander Plan: Winner vs Khan, Loser vs Maidana

"Amir wants to fight the winner of Bradley-Alexander," Schaefer said. "And the date we are anticipating is July 30. Amir (who is Muslim) would like to do that before Ramadan and Amir has agreed to do that fight in the U.S. Having said that, Bradley and Alexander have business to take care of and Amir Khan is going to have to take care of business on April 16."

There is also a prize for the Bradley-Alexander loser. Schaefer would like to match the loser against Marcos Maidana.

"Another fight we would like to do which really excites me is whoever ends up on the short end (between Bradley and Alexander) would fight Marcos Maidana," Schaefer said. "I think Timothy Bradley is a fantastic fighter and Devon Alexander is an amazing fighter. They're all great, and so is Marcos Maidana."

Alexander Hints That He's Knocking Tim Bradley Out

"It's going to be explosive. I'm going to be fast and explosive. I'm going to be on Bradley from the beginning bell to the ending bell. If he's standing at the end of twelve rounds so be it, but I'm going to be on him," Alexander told ***********.com. "Alexander 'The Great' will be victorious again, 22-0, with 14 knockouts [Alexander currently has 13 knockouts]."

"Now we're getting somewhere and finally Timmy Bradley stepped up to the plate. And now we have to show the world why we were begging for this fight and why we're the best at 140-pounds," Alexander said.

Tim Bradley Fights The Flu as Devon Alexander Bout Nears

"I've got this flu. I'm trying to get out of this flu bug. That's not good, but I'm still going to fight, though. No excuses. I ain't going to turn this fight down, even if I'm sick in the ring, I'm still going to fight. I'm resting. Lots of resting. But training camp is still going on strong. I'm still fighting and I feel I'm getting my strength back. I'm getting toward the final stages of this flu," Bradley said. "My nose is still stopped up and everything, but I'm still feeling good and feeling strong. My weight is good and I'm just ready to go."

"Actually, I just ran this morning for about 45 minutes, and I am about to go into training at the gym. I should be at the gym at around noon. I've already started to tapering off with the sparring due to the fact that I'm a little under the weather. I'm tapering down right now, and I'll close on Saturday and do about 15 rounds of sparring on Saturday. But, you know, right now, I'm going about three times a week. I will be sparring today, and that's about six rounds today. But I'm going to be alright. I'm going to be alright."

Alexander's Trainer: I'll Bring Nyquil, Theraflu For Bradley

"I read that he's got a little cold. It's ironic, because Devon is just getting over a cold too. We don't make a big deal over stuff like that. We just took a little Nyquil and a little Theraflu and kept going. I can't tell you why Tim Bradley would go to the media and tell them that he's under the weather, but that's something we never would have did. But, you know he had his reasons for why [he did it], but I just hope that it's not laying the groundwork for an excuse," Said Cunningham

Bradley-Alexander: WBC Title at Stake For Both Sides

"Yes, we're very happy that things are back to normal with Timothy. As we've always said, we have a very personal feeling for him and we're very happy now that everything is okay," said ," said Sulaiman. "Any misunderstanding from the past were cleared and so now, the fight will be for both championships -- the WBC and the WBO. So he's right on schedule."

"It was last week that basically things got back to the point where all of the misunderstandings were cleared up. But it's been a process where many dear people who care for the betterment of boxing talked to each other. We talked to Timothy and his people, and, so, it has been a process. And now, nothing is held against nobody. We're just happy and we're looking forward to the fight on January 29."

Alexander: Bradley Needs an Excuse For The Butt-Whipping

"You know, that's the kind of thing that I think he wants to put out there. If he's sick, I'll just let it pass and let it run the course and continue to train. I didn't think that he had to make that public notice. But it's all mental. I think that mentally, he has to make up something to come up with an excuse for this butt-whipping he's about to get," Alexander said.

The world will know on Jan. 29 why I'm Alexander the Great. I want the whole world to know that I'm the best of the 140-pounders, and that they've got another Floyd Mayweather on their hands. I don't have a favorite fighter. I just look at all of the greats that ever did boxing. I look at a certain thing that they do in their career and in the craft and I incorporate it into my craft," Alexander said.

"There are numerous guys out there. But they're always bringing up Timothy Bradley's name, so, I figured and I knew that I had to fight Timothy Bradley. I want to beat Tim Bradley to become that name that is mentioned along with the best fighters in the sport today. I want to beat him and become that."

Merchant Hopes Bradley-Alexander Creates a New Star

Ready to happen…
“It’s a fight that has been longing for a couple of years and ripening. Now it’s ready to happen. My hope is that two fighters resumes that they’re more pure boxer than brawler and somehow the magnitude of the event and the importance of it to them ignites a crowd-pleasing fight. And boxing in general hopes that it can happen because it could mean so much to a division with a lot of young talent.”

Alexander’s star potential…
“Honestly I didn’t see that much of him but I had heard of him and people [were] seeing him as a serious prospect rather than a suspect. So I have watched him of course the last couple of years and I like what I see. The question is, what direction is he going to go in as a possible, serious prime-time fighter?”

Alexander’s promoter Don King…
“King hasn’t had a serious heavyweight for a long time. I guess the mere fact that he still has a few fighters that might achieve something important is in itself a surprise. Although you never counted him out, King hasn’t been a heavyweight in the promoting business for quite sometime, much less promoting heavyweights. I remember he had Cory Spinks, from St. Louis, and rode him for a while. Quite frankly I’m hoping that Alexander doesn’t turn out to be that kind of a fighter. First, second, and third priority is to not get hit.”

Bradley still hungry…
“I like Timothy Bradley because he has an aggressive attitude if not an aggressive style. I don’t know if he is as skilled as Alexander but he has a real good sense of what he needs to do in the ring. He always comes in supreme condition and he remains a hungry fighter. And now we’ll see how he deals with this challenge.”

Trash talk gotten under either man’s skin?
“I really can’t tell. Some guys shrug it off. They think it is part of how they have to market themselves and promote a particular fight. Maybe that suggests that each of them is confident in their abilities, at least on the surface. But I’m sure each of them also has questions about himself and knows that they are going to provide answers not just for us but for themselves in this fight.”
