I'm goin against the grain and pickin Alexander tonight.
I think he'll outbox Bradley from the outside, and be motivated by his last poor showing to redeem himself.
I'm worried Devon might break down a bit down the stretch, or give up his height but I'm gonna pick him anyway.
Alexander by decision.
Anyone with me ?
I'm with you. Before this fight was made, I was riding with Alexander as being better then Bradley. His height and length is going to be a factor in the early rounds. But I also think Alexander is a better inside fighter. Although Bradley throw body shots to kill offsprings.Quote:

Don't get caught slipping cause you've been sipping too much cognac and the pontiac peeps. Alexander is GOING DOWN!!! :cool:
Yeah, I'm drunk beeetches. It's own tinightahhhhh!
Alexander KOs Bradley in 7th.
Guys I love Devon Alexander, and I wish him the best and every success in his life and he deserves nothing less, but I feel it's Bradley time right now, I've said before, I just see that look in his eyes, it's his time tonight. I wish both fighters the best, cause they deserve all the positive stuff and accolades that come their way, there both crazy talents, I just feel it's Bradley night tonight.
I can't agree with that. I think Alexander will start better and look more flashy early on. But once Bradley has adjusted and starts to up his workrate Alexander is going to wilt. Alexander doesn't know how to lose though, but that Kotelnik performance was no accident.
Alexander is going to walk Bradley into a ton of counters, he'll win and I wouldn't be surprised if he stopped him.
I think Alexander's left hook or right uppercut will get the job done. Dude has amazing power.
I think Bradley is a very improved mobile boxer and it'll show tonight.

Even at 23 I see Devon as being the more experienced of the two going 300-40 as an amatuer.
And 21-0 Pro.
His Amatuer Pedigree is the difference here.
I think if he can keep his composure and slow things down enough mentally he should be able to take advantage of the Openings Bradley leaves defensively while getting off offensively. If he gets behind a stiff stick he should be able to bait Tim and set traps when Tim comes in.
I like Tim a lot he's a conditioning Wizard but he's gotten away with a lot of fundamental flaws.
I don't want to go as far to say he's amatureish because his style has served its purpose thus far.
But he wings his shots and at times slaps like he's fighting under the amatuer pts style system.
Never really sitting on his punches or turning them over.
I think he's wide open for a Alexander uppercut on the inside and if devon can hook off of the uppercut its game over.
If Alexander pumps his jab and uses his straight left to get respect and distance. I feel he can alter Bradleys pace enough to get him get over anxious or feel a bit desperate and come in reckless enough to counter w/the uppercut and hook.
May the best fighter win.
Regardless I feel this is a good fight and the winner sits at the top.
I feel the same way and imo Bradley just adapts better especially in adverse situations whereas Alexander still only had 1 gameplan and can't really adapt as seen in the Kotelnik fight.Quote:

Plus Teddy Atlas picked Bradley, so you know he's gonna lose now ! haha
Here we go !
Devon is 23 years old, it will likely play a big part at a big match. I am not saying he wont win though. I just hope it'll be a good scrap.
I must admit that while watching all this pre fight stuff I have butterflies in my stomach. I can't wait for this. May the best man win.
I think this could be similar to mayweather-Judah, but Bradley can get wide open defensively and Alexander can crack when he sits down on shots.
