    I have no idea if this has been posted but the fight will take place at the Chafetz Arena in St. Louis, so it looks like Alexander will have the hometown advantage. Hopefully he doesn't get a 'hometown gift decision'.

    So who get's it? Alexander or Bradley?

    I'm taking Bradley by decision. Somewhere around 9-3 or 10-2.

    Bradley UD all day.

    The only worry is that Alexander is a willing learner and dedicated so if he comes in more polished and uses his height/reach better and fights more of a counter punching style, he might win but i think he's still too green for Bradley.
     
  5. When do tickets go on sale?

    Have an ex-girlfriend who lives in Saint Louis now.

    I like Alexander for this, in a very close fight. Hometown helps. Expect some controversy.

    I doubt it. Bradley is not a huge puncher, and Alexander has a very good chin. If anyone is TKO's anyone late, it will be Alexander - He hit's harder than Bradley and has a better chin. I cannot see Bradley TKO'ing Alexander, but I think Timmy will win by UD.

    Timbo by UD for me, just too versatile for Devon IMO and probably wont even have to show that versatility as I think he can win by pressuring throughout.

    Bradley on movement unless Alexander actually uses his jab effectively and lands it, instead of just throwing it like with Kotelnik

    I would've bet on Bradley, but with the fight in St-Louis it's hard to take that leap

    based on Bradley KOing everyone and Alexander having a glass jaw??? Or Bradley head butting him to death??? How do you see the fight?

    don't do it. I don't see a KO and with all the bull**** in boxing now a home decision is a big possibility

    I feel Alexander is going to get a gift decision in this fight. I dont believe Timmy will be able to knock Alexander out, he doesn't have that kind of power. In order for Alexander to win he needs to keep Bradley from getting on the inside by using his jab constantly, however, although his workrate is good, his timing and accuracy are not that good, which is why he looked so ordinary against Kotelnik and I feel this is what will win the fight for Bradley.

    Btw does anyone know anything about the "my use of angles are going to win me fights" Alexander keeps referring to? Maybe he was talking about the angels (hometown judges), they certainly helped him more then the "angles" he talks abt. lol
