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

[Fenster]

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.

No he does not. Con was all set to vacate his title if a fight with Maidana was mandated. Con will never fight Maidana. Maidana is very well aware of the fear he strikes in Con. So he's accepted the fact that he will never fight him and has moved on.

Con boy aint gonna fight Bradley or Alexander either.

He will probably fight the chump change guys after they've half-killed each other. Team Khan have the money and the sense

Maidana is not going to be difficult for Bradley to hit but if he walks through it all and he's still there after five or six rounds that's when he starts landing his big punches. Potential for a massive upset here but I'm going with Bradley.

Wouldn't be an upset to me. Bradley ain't hard to hit.

Bradley by UD but if Holt was able to drop Tim twice I will not be surpised by an upset. If it happens to be a firefight Maidana by kayo.

If Kotelnik can stay on his feet for twelve rounds Bradley can. If it wasn't for the Kotelnik fight (which I haven't seen) I'd probably pick Maidana.

From what I recall, Kotelnik fought a very defensive fight which allowed him to negate Maidana's main advantage and just basically tried to outbox him.. I saw it a long time ago, but I seem to remember Kotelnik using movement, defense, and a solid jab to beat Maidana. However, it was a very close fight and most people seem to feel Maidana won and I could be wrong in regards to the way I remember the fight.

That's how I remember it too, the ref played a pretty big role in not letting maidana get anything going. I had it 7-5 Maidana, so I can't say robbery, but I definately had him ahead on my card.

I had the Maidana/Kotelnik fight a draw. I think Bradley will beat him with nice counters, but I wouldn't be surprised if Maidana drops him. This is a great fight. With the way he fights & who he chooses as opponents, Bradley makes it hard to dislike him. Thank god for that stupid pornstar mustache, his insistence of bringing up Jesus and the fact he whines on about how the world is against him whenever I read his interviews.

Bradley ain't the mover/runner Kotelink is

He's got more boxing skills though. He'll be able to do enough offensively to keep Maidana off him. I think. Although maybe Maidana is just going to bulldoze his way face first through the entire division.

If he does beat Bradley I actually hope he does keep going so he has to fight Khan.

This is a good thing, I really didn't have all that much interest in the other fight with Abregu. Maidana is going to do his thing as long as he's in there, he can be hit but he isn't hard to hit. Still, there's always the chance that Bradley stands in front trying to add one more shot and allows Maidana the chance to load up. IMO the best way to beat Maidana is to limit yourself to being a selective one or two shot puncher like Kotelnik rather then try to blow him away with combinations like Ortiz did. Bradley has shown that he's become one of the best combination punchers in boxing lately but he might be better served on focusing more on negating Maidana.

Just watched the fight again. Khan would get knocked out inside the first minute and he knows it!

[Lefty]

Nice to see Bradley doing what Khan cant do. Will be a hell of a fight, big probs to Bradley for taking on challenge after challenge.

Dead right I think. As much as I don't like him, I'd be surprised if Bradley hits as Golden Boys main man Ortiz, as he seems more of a volume man. If Bradley doesn't, then Maidana is gonna be comin for him IMO
