    I know this gonna be a good one . . . but I'm not sure who to pick. I haven't seen much of Bradley at this point. :D

    i think this would be a great fight... i don't have a good grasp of bradley's true ability, but he seems tough, hard-working, confident and competitive and will give any 140 lb'er a good fight... torres is a warrior and gave cotto his most physically taxing fight... i think there's a good chance torres will get outboxed by kendall holt in their rematch, though

    I like Ricardo Torres, I was a fan immediately after seeing him bomb away with Miguel Cotto, but I think his career is going to be short, based on his style.

    He has fast hands, but his feet, from what I remember, are slow, and his defense could use some work.

    Furthermore, it's no given that he'll get past Kendall Holt- Holt has a style that is difficult for Torres.

    But against Bradley, I would either say Bradley takes a decision or Torres wins by knockout. I lean towards a Bradley decision, but this is only based on the Bradley-Witter fight, because that's all I've seen of him.

    Torres doesn't exactly have the best chin in the world either. His **** was rocked plenty against Mike Arnaoutis and Kendall Holt. Bradley is one tough cookie and I see him taking hold of the 140 division soon.

    Bradley wide decision. Aranoutis could have blown out Torres had he been just a bit more active. Bradley has everything Aranoutis has, plus a higher workrate. If you weather the initial storm, Torres can be lulled into a boxing match, and once you get to that point, he becomes a sitting duck for a more skilled fighter.
