Kendall Holt vs Timothy Bradley & Andrade vs. Tsypko - Let's Talk!

Set for April 4. Let me guess they will name this "The war on April four". Anyway I like Bradley in this fight. To me it just breaks down to the chin and Bradley has shown he can take a punch and Holt still has a big question mark. I like Holt's skills but I just don't think he can take it.

don't think it will be a classic, ill go with Holt by decision, would prefer to see Holt-Torres rescheduled instead

Not a bad match-up, I think these guys are pretty on par with each other. That's what boxing is all about for me, good matchmaking. Of course everyone is waiting for Holt-Torres "Return of the Jedi", but this is a good match in the interim. Neither one has the marketability to get a match with Hatton, so why not have a fight between the two highest rated American 140 lber's? I'll take Holt on points, but I think it will be close and competitive.

Going with Bradley. I think he's too much for Holt. He's just solid all around. It will be competitive but Bradley will break him down and have him on the run the last couple rounds. I think it will go the distance but a clear decision for Bradley, he will take alot out of Holt with consistent body work and show that he's stronger. I think Bradley will show that he doesn't really have any weaknesses, and Holt does.

Bradley has great stamina, decent power, good chin, good skills, good speed.

Holt, ok stamina, good skills, great speed, decent power, shaky chin.

im going with Bradley. hes just better than Holt period. either by UD or tko

:lol:

;D

Not a bad fight this.

2 well matched guys at similar stages of their careers. I like Tim Bradley . He looked the part vs Witter and even better vs Cherry . He is getting better too. Holt is the banger in this fight. He couldnt find Hopkins jaw but Bradley wont run . This will be a good fight

Id like to see Holt have his decider with Torrez but this is a top fight and regardless of the result that fight can still happen. Im on the fence , find it hard to split em . If I had to go one way though I may lean towards Holt cuz he's a boxer / puncher .

Battle of the butting billy goats ;D. I like Bradley in that one.I think he is going to stick around....would love a Bradley vs. Hatton fight

Bradley is game. I'm high on him. He whooped Witter's ass, for that I will always be thankful towards him. I see him beating Holt and safely being the #2 in the division.

2008 has been a fantastic year for "Desert Storm", hardly anyone had heard of him this time last year.

I agree with Farhood, I like this version of Holt.

Hes more offensive and IMO a better fighter then the old version of himself.

Very interesting matchup, I favor Bradley here but I gotta say not by much.

While much of the talk in the boxing world has focused on the junior welterweight mega-fight between Ricky Hatton and Manny Pacquaio, another big fight in the division is quickly approaching.

(Its this saturday to be precise)

Found a pretty good preview The Boxing Bulletin: Timothy Bradley vs Kendall Holt Preview

What are your thoughts on the fight?

I will go for Holt, Bradley looks to musclebound.

''The hush of the new era is quickly becoming a roar. The boxing world will be listening on April 4th.'' - True!

I like Bradley. He has some nice slick educated moves on him and he keeps the pressure on. I see the counter puncher getting counter punched to the canvas at least once.

Bradley for me, better work rate and more skill's.

That's interesting, I pick Bradley by UD myself

Who knows which holt is going to show up.....i'll go with bradley he's quietly beat everyone he's been put in with, i don't see anything different this weekend. Gotta stick with the west ...bradley to win.

Bradley is solid all around. No major flaws and great shape and chin.

Holt is chinny and very inconsistent.

Bradley by unanimous decision.

This fight has me wearing a path into the new carpet with anticipation.Love this matchup.Both are very fluid...realizing a new found perch in career and are willing top fighters.I like a solid Bradley late in a shootout.Can see Holt giving him shite fits early with handspeed but Bradley will out physical him down the stretch.

Bradley by late tko.

Holt has the speed & ability to keeps things on the outside & box from a safe distance. But I think Bradley makes the fight & Holt will ablidge which I hope leads to some exciting exchanges. My biggest question is Holts chin & thats what I think will decide the fight. I think a big Bradley right will connect late in the fight & that'll be all she wrote!

I really like this fight.

Both are reasonably good technically, but also avail of real fighting spirits.
This could be an excellent technical matchup, but I think with both yopung guys looking to impress and the pride of each, this will go to the trenches.
I don't expect anything as dramatic as Holt v Torres, but I think this will be a drawn out enjoyable fight.
I'd make Holt a slight favourite, but I'm happy to see either guy win.

I'm going for Bradley UD. I've been impressed by what I've seen of him and I think he'll take a comfortable decision!

Little Richard by Good Golly dec.



:confused:

I reckon Bradley takes it by UD or a late TKO. I'm not that impressed by Holt, I thought if hadn't caught Torres with his head, then he probably would of got knocked out, and I thought the fight with Hopkins could very easily have gone the other way. Bradley on the other hand has really got something, and I think he just faces the problem that he won't be able to get a superfight with Hatton to become the lineal champ before Hatton retires. At which point, the likes of Ortiz & Alvarado will be around for him to go after. I may be alone in this, but I think Bradley may become similar to Hopkins, in that he could be dominating the division without ever really getting the credit. Not suggesting he's a future ATG though.

I wonder how the fight will be popular though, none of these 2 boxers are much known by the amateurs in Quebec, initially it was Choko boxing with Gillette productions that were to set the fight and finally Choko pulled out and Gillette got in touch with Interbox who did decided to carry the torch for the event and helped by filling the card with known local boxers. Let's see if that last minute move will help to fill the stadium.

Both guys look in great shape. Bradleys 6 pack looks like it is chizzled out of stone. He has an amazing build but I think Holt is the puncher in this fight and may be the better pure boxer too.

Im abit on the fence for this. I was with Holt but I expect it will be a good fight whoever wins.

Getting excited for all the action tonight, this card and the Lightweight tournament.

Hmm 7:30 Tournament ppv (ugg) and Holt/Bradley at 9:45 Showtime.Any luck with streams on the lightweight tourney?ohh and Holyfield vs. Dokes 5:30 Espn....This could get messy;D
