    I like the idea of this fight

    I think Lucas can win, he hits just as hard or if not hard that Ruslan but the difference between the two being actual boxing skill.

    I like Bradley's heart and workrate but his heart gets him in trouble and he slugs where it isn't needed.

    Let's discuss

    Bradley wins a grueling, tough boxing fight due to his skills and heart getting him through.

    I think Bradley could outbox Matthysse, but i don't think he could take another slug-war with a puncher.

    Bradley can outbox Lucas

    but judging from his last few fights I don't trust Timothy.

    Went to war with Chavez & Provo for NO REASON. Total brain fade. Also his stamina has started to get bad at 147...or maybe it's just from taking huge blows he shouldn't be taking.


    He took Marquez & Pac seroisly...but everyone else he seems to be approaching wrong.

    Someone needs to tell him he has no power already

    Exactly right. He SHOULD be able to beat Lucas but I very much doubt he would.

    Bradley has all the tools to win this fight but he just makes fights way harder then they need to be and against someone like Matthysse youre asking for an L doing that.

    If Bradley didn't listen and apply every word his corner tells him between rounds that's a fight he could def lose.

    Or maybe Lucas never hit him as flush? The punch that hurts the most is the one you dont see coming.

    bradley been steadily declining hasnt a stellar performance in a while but thats wut happens when u step ur game up n fight the best guys like he always has . its never an easy task . and he doing it again with jessie vargas not the toughest fight but its not gunna be fan friendly n vargas style might make for one of them fights where he will win but not look good doing it

    at 147 bradley can do wut danny did to lucas

    bradley been in the gm for a while he needs his hunger back

    Yes but Bradley has arguably the best recovery in boxing and his fight with Provodnikov (regardless if - in theory - matthysse hits harder) leans me towards him surviving whatever Matty throws and using his skill to get the decision.

    I think Lucas is hittable and boxable, Humberto Soto pecked and moved and boxed very well til getting clocked

    I think Bradley can box well but his fight vs Chaves did not impress me at all and I thought it was tight

    Lucas might have what it takes to finally take out Bradley

    True. Even the best chins can crack when you've taken hefty shots. The shots Provodnikov gave to Bradley was five fights that are wars worthy:rofl
