    Bradley looked so much improved in his fight vs Peterson. To me , he looked very raw still against Holt.

    I see where this can be such a decieving fight for Bradley.

    You have a guy that eeeeked a decision against Witter (whom we know now is a quitter), Edner Cherry (really just a 135 fighter), Holt (now destroyed by obscurity from KO-ed-ness)

    I didn't get a cance to see the Peterson fight... but Where is Bradley now?? I guess I'm with everyone else on here.. Why move up? He looks everything but unbeatable at LWW. Biggest question is will he be able to cary what little power he has at 140 to 147? Maybe he will find new power.

    One thing is for sure. He don't want NONE of THIS!!!

    Interesting, so he's testing the waters in welterweight?

    I don't know if he can be successful, but we'll soon find out.

    Love Bradley,his level of comp,his aggresive busy style,attitude but this is not a mismatch.Surely Bradley will take it on hustle and improved combinations but Abregu can punch and has come back from being badly hurt.Bradley gets clipped vs Holt and Peterson,and tired just a bit.Very interested to see what effect added weight and opponent size will have...clearly it will have an effect.

    Don't kid yourself.

    Bradley wants a Alexander fight. His recent signing with HBO proves it, they will likely fight later this year or early next year.

    He beat Witter decisively by the way, It was only a SD because it was in England.

    Bradley's next fight is a good test for him.

    Abregu can punch, is naturally bigger and it's a weight class Bradley has never been in so things could get interesting.

    This will be a good fight just for the sake of curiosity....

    Bradley is small as everyone else had said so very interesting on how he will handle the size difference on the other side of it he is also stocky so the body will not only be harder to hit but should handle the punches well...I don't remember him going down other then a flash knockdown from Holt....(I swear I thought he was out cold)....But recovered nicely so the chin is not too questionable for me.

    How Abregu handles the jump in class is more my interest

    Abregu has been going life and death with journeyman and other prospects; Bradly has been dominating the top 10 of his division for the past 2 years.

    I certainly think this fight will be interesting. Abregu I really like, plain and simply because he's exciting. Not a great defense, not got the best chin, but man can he bang, and from some angles too. One of my fights of the year him in against Garcia.... Hell, if he gets beat by Bradley i'd love to see him back in with Garcia again anyways... Ha. Abregu is gonna be at a disadvantage with regards to boxing ability, but he's absolutely gonna have the power to put Bradley on his backside and equalise things no doubt..
