    Default Thoughts on the Bradley win?

    I know that Abregu is not exactly cream of the crop but has had some decent wins in the past and he is a tough durable guy who does not quit even after being put down...Add the 4" height and 3" reach advantage with some better then average power and Bradley had something to overcome....Bradley made it look so easy (again I know Abregu is not P4P)...This kid gets better each and every time out....He has not even come close to his peak and is only 26!...

    Maybe I am jumping ahead here but I rteally think he will be a P4P fighter inside of 2 years....Not #1 but on the list I believe.....

    Was anyone else impressed last night? Anyone else agree on my view of Bradley as a fighter?

    Like Bradley.I really do.But that was good...not elite.All things considered,Abregus size,awkward power and weight for Tim a quality win but he seemed off.No jab,combos less and loaded up too much.Good feet though.He has time and is facing a string of quality competion.Wonder if he was a bit stale and feeling stamina late.He should stay at 140 I believe.

    I think Bradley is a handful for anyone but I do also think he is beatable, I think a fight with Berto would be fun and entertaining, I can't see Khan well I mean Goldenboy letting Khan in with him right now even though it is a winninable fight for Khan i is also a very tough fight which I see Oscar and his company thinking this fight being much more attractive down the line where both are bigger names and can earn alot more money for a fight which is not a fight where the fighters would be big favourite.

    I had to force myself to finish watching the fight.

    I lost 15 USD on my Alcine pick. I just like the guy and thought he had a shot at looking decent in there. I never expected an actual pay day, but the person I bet was making me sick with the bragging.

    Bradley exudes that star Charisma IMO, balanced overall fighter but not as explosive as his 140 and 147 pound counterparts. Devon Alexander beats him at 140 IMO and maybe even Khan. Berto beats him at 147 pounds too.

    Am I the only one who was not overwhelmed by Bradley's performance? I mean he dominated Abregu, which is impressive, but he didn't look as good as he had in the past and it wasn't his best win. Then again, this fight was at 147 and it solidified in my mind that he belongs at 140. Max Kellerman was accurate in his description of Bradley leading up to the fight that Bradley is fast, but not the fastest, is technical, but not the most technical, and has a chin, but not the best chin.

    However, he has by far the best resume of the fighters at 140. Not to mention he's undefeated. His wins over Abregu, Peterson, Holt, and Witter (in England) are much, much better than anything anyone else has even remotely done at 140. It's a shame he doesn't have a bigger following. He should next concentrate on knocking off one of the other top guys at 140.

    He is very good, but he falls short a little bit in the power dept. He has great upper body movement , slips and bobs and weaves like no other.(Maybe Floyd) Uses a wide variety of punches and puts great combos together. If he could just learn to sit down on his punches he could be P4P.
