Timothy Bradley

[BoomBoom]

Bradley is a very good fighter. Ive been going on about this guy for years That said he has a couple of issues when he fights. One, he doesnt sit down on his punches and a lot of his flurries are very amateurish. And two, he comes in with his head a lot. Hes going to get cut a lot if he keeps with the headbutts, and that will effect his fights. He has an excellent mentality and he showed that he was the mentally tougher fighter last night. Although I do think that Holt looked like the more established pro in there. Bradley can give anyone at his weight problems.

[JT Rock]

Kendall let the fight slip away... Holt was decapitating him with the jab every time he thru it, Bradley was agressive but Holt landed the more meaningful shots and ate a ton of them... Kendall should have brawled a little more sine he was getting the better of the exchanges as demonstrated with the 1st round KD and the 12th..

All in all good work and win by Bradley he really committed to the body work as usual and it paid huge dividends in controlling the tempo.

I am not sold on Bradley just yet, he was sloppy at times and Holt has a propensity to lose focus and not maintain a strong as the fight progresses, couple that with bradley not even getting a wobble out of Holt who has been down more than Paris Hilton and I see him getting dusted by a big puncher or a guy with a strong will and mental make up who digs in ..

He reminds me a bit like Juan Diaz albeit faster but a pressure fighter who constantly relents with unreal stamina though lacking the punching power to deter a top level fighter.

Bradley would lose to the following

Hatton
Pac
Urango
JMM
Juan Diaz(If he moved up)
Campbell
Funeka(If he moved up)
Kahn (if he moved up)

Hell yea forgot all about Victor

Good win for Bradley, I have been a fan of this kid for a while now...I predicted him to win over Holt in the Showtime Media Poll and I predicted Him in the poll to beat Witter.....

The one thing he needs to do is avoid squaring up after getting off but maybe after being floored by Holt last night he will have that in mind for the future

As for him not sitting on his punches...IMO that will come in time...He is young and still only 25 fights....He has improved over the last few years and comes into every fight with a little something extra then the fight previous....

As for the knockdown that F'ing shot should have starched Bradley for the first second I thought the fight was over....

Tim got up quick and then had the ring saavy to take the knee and make sure his head was clear....Very smart!!...

I don't think that proved any weakness in his jaw,

Good fight for him and in another 4 or 5 fights he will be ready for a bout with one of the big names

I think he would beat Campbell and Diaz.

How do you figure?

Bradley couldnt break an egg, Campbell would counterpunch his ears off... Diaz would grind him down...

Bradley lacks the pop to keep a guy like Diaz off of him

Workrate. Bradley can keep a more consistant pace than Campbell and there are too many unknowns with Nate at 140 at his age. Plus even if Campbell does effectively counterpunch him all night, it doesnt mean hel win the fight. Bradley will still outland him. As for Diaz, Bradley doesnt need to keep him off him. If Diaz comes staight in against him, Bradley will box him to a decision. Diaz at 140 I dont think will have the power to hurt Bradley. Bradley can get to Diaz though through accumulation of punches imo.

I'm a Witter fan and everything I've seen from Bradley has impressed me!

I thought for the most part Bradley looked great on Saturday against Holt. He showed grit, determination, and discipline. He outfought a proven champion who was taller and a heavier puncher. He was hit with a knockout type punch in that first round and raised himself off of the mat, took the knee like an experienced ring technician and dusted himself off. How many fighters get up after that kind of punch from Holt? Moreover, from that point going forward, he thoroughly dominated Holt.

The things he did wrong are easily fixed. He left himself open for that big shot too frequently, but at the same time, as the fight went on, he learned to keep his hands up defensively. That is something his trainers will undoubtedly work on.

At the end of the day, in a matter of a year, Bradley has beat Kendall Holt, Edner Cherry, and Junior Witter. And he is only 25. He has much to learn but he is a young champion with a bright future.

I thought that fight was boring as can be myself except for the knockdown. Nothing special IMO. It's pretty embarrassing that Bradley holds two championship belts, just my opinion. Your right, I didn't notice any serious power.

Timothy is a tough man

[Rantcatrat]

Bradley hasn't earned a fight against Pacman, Marquez, or Hatton, nor will he get one.

Campbell v. Bradley would be a fight. I'm unconvinced with Campbell at 140 because against Funeka he looked dull. Although I haven't completely made up my mind, as of now, I favor Bradley against Campbell until I see Campbell in another fight at 140.

I see Bradley beating the current version of Paulie, Torres, or Lazcano.

For now, he should stay away from the Ortiz v. Kotelnik winner. Randall Baily would be a tough fight and so would Devon Alexander.

Urango is moving up to welterweight, which takes him out of the picture.

I bet he defends against Devon or fights Campbell next.

I have to agree...Nate is just too much the vet with too much ring saavy...

As for Diaz why is it soo many people count him out?.....He is one of the most dangerous punchers in the sport....He has only lost to 2 P4P fighters and he gave JMM everything he could handle and more,....

[Mr140]

Diaz to me so far when he stepped up he has been beaten also when he gets cut he seems to not handle it well at all or maybe its just me. I think Bradley could beat Diaz and Nate not sure of how he would do against the others Holt is a big puncher dont know why people make a big deal about him getting floored by him still got up and won the fight. Holyfeild was not the biggest puncher but he had mental toughness and was over achiever i think Bradley is the same and think he can havealot more success then people give him credit for i mean he is still young guy is improving big time. Not like there are is any Sugar Ray Leonards in the division anyhow.
