Timothy Bradley vs Marcos Maidana

I'm not sure anymore either. He struggled with Chavez, I'm starting to think he doesn't even belong at 147. His only good victory at that weight is against Marquez. I think Bradley has a high chance of losing, he gets sucked into slugfests too easily and Maidana beats him there 99% of the time.

So the result of this fight depends on which Bradley shows up: the boxer or the slugger.

 

Maidana probably a stronger version off provodnikov. Maidana would get beaten if timmy dont tried going toe to toe. Bradley UD

 

I still think Bradley is a threat to all, he forces himself to fight the way he did against Chavez to please arum and some fans who call "boxing"running. He got some criticism for the jmm fight, but I thought it was a masterful performance and would encourage him to continue with that style.

 

Bradley is in a brawling state of mind these days & is trying really hard to kayo an opponent. I think the stigma of not having punching power is really bothering him. I'm sure Joel Diaz want him to box more than brawl but Tim is determined to get a knock out. Bradley has an iron chin but Maidana has big power in both hands. Bradley would try to brawl & get kayoed. Would be a great fight though for however long it lasts & I would love to see it.:bbb

 

Maidana

 

Maidana is a good gatekeeper. I'd like to see him test Bradley and Crawford the way he did Broner.

 

Nah.

Just a more skilled boxer. Regardless of how much Provo has been hyped, I believe he is stronger that Maidana.

As said above, I see the fight going two different ways.

Bradley chooses to:

Brawl = Maidana win.
Box = Bradley win.

 

Up to Bradley....

Needs to get his sh*t together...He's damn lucky he didn't get a busted orbital against Chaves..I was almost certain that thing was broke but apparantly it isn't.

 

Bradley would box Maidana's head off but only if he sticks to boxing

 

Bradley has sounded punch drunk in a couple of interviews. I think his best days are behind him, Maidana would win.

 

I am a big fan of Bradleys but he has lots of problems at welter

He doesnt hit very hard, he is able to be rocked, he cant always stick to a plan

Maidana vs Broner and both Floyd fights shows me he has improved and is a very confident and dangerous force. He has his vulnerabilities but his strengths match up with Bradleys problems

I favor Maidana but Bradley if boxing smoothly and survives the moments hes caught can win

 

Depends if Bradley fights his fight or not. If he fights Maidana's fight he will without a doubt lose if he boxes smart he will win.

 

If he fights Maidana for excitement as he calls it, he will get KO'ed He fights him the way he made it at 140, he could win by UD

 

Don't see much difference between Chaves and Maidana.

Bradley would win clearly, something like 8-4 or 7-3.
