Bradley vs Maidana is a done deal for June 19, HBO

Bradley vs Maidana Agreement Reached For June 19, HBO - Boxing News

By Rick Reeno

BoxingScene.com has been advised by several strong sources that an agreement was reached for Timothy Bradley (25-0, 11KOS) to defend his WBO junior welterweight title against Marcos Maidana (28-1, 27KOs), the WBA's interim-champion, on June 19 with HBO televising. The venue is being finalized and should be revealed in the next couple of days.

Bradley was originally scheduled to make his HBO debut against Luis Carlos Abregu in a welterweight contest, and Maidana appeared to be on course for a showdown with WBC champion Devon Alexander in August. Golden Boy Promotions and Bradley's promoter Gary Shaw were unavailable for comment.

He is now fighting Maidana On June 19.

Much better fight for him.

You can find the news on boxingscene.

Looking forward to this. I say Bradley takes a UD.

Bradley has an awful moustache, but I love him as a fighter. This will be a really good fight, but I think Bradley has too much all round skill for Maidana.

Hard to bet against bradley but i can see Maidana putting Bradley down a time or two.....

Just what Khan's camp was hoping for I guess, if Maidana loses then they can argue why bother fighting him?

I thught Bradley was fighting at 147 next anyway?

Great stuff. Bradley's getting on with the dominance.

Killer fight, I absolutely love it. Bradley has to be the heavy favorite, but that doesn't matter, plenty of punches will land from both sides. FOTY candidate, calling it now.

Bradley, quite easily.

Good for maidana he deserves this fight. Only problem is i see bradley having no problem with this guy at all. Maidana is too slow for bradley, and can punch really well but is either off or on with his defense. I like how so far bradley will fight damn near anyone.

Good to see him coming to his senses. Him going to 147 for a meaningless fight when there were still great fights at 140 was pretty damn stupid. I'm taking Maidana in a shoot out. His power will be the difference

Yeah, Khan's people are happy about this because Bradley should win this one. If the Bradley who fought Peterson shows up then this will be a UD convincingly. Maidana will bring a competitive fight though. Nice fight.

That's one thing I like about Bradley he fights any mofo in the division that's dangerous, unlike one of Freddie Roach's "champion" and I'm not talking about Pacquiao.

Good to see him coming to his senses. Him going to 147 for a meaningless fight when there were still great fights at 140 was pretty damn stupid. I'm taking Maidana in a shoot out. His power will be the difference

I don't see the logic behind taking this fight for Maidana. He has a more lucrative fight with Khan lined up in a fight or two and he choses to take a tougher fight with Bradley, which may take him out of the running for the Khan fight? Bradley, of course, like this fight. Bradley by dominating UD.
