Bradley - Alexander Fight Thread

[bzkfn]

i said right from the get go when this fight was made that devon alexander has the ability to box any guy at 140s head off

just strikes me as the kind of guy that rises to the occasion, i can see him taking a points win and possibly even flooring bradley mid fight

I'd be stunned if he took a decision on points. My feeling is either Devon stops him or Bradley decisions him. No way do I see him outboxing Bradley.

I've been an undercover Bradley fan since the Witter fight so I have that feeling that this is a HUGE fight for Bradley. I just hope Bradley see's it that way. He can't go into this fight underestimating Alexander. Kotelnik fought a smart fight, Bradley has to do the same. If Bradley gets too rugged, he'll get picked apart and maybe really hurt.

Bradley really has to be shrewd and keep his head for 12 full rounds. He's the smarter guy but Devon has the tools so Bradley has just GOT to be smart.

I think he will be... From the footage I've seen, he seems very focused so I'm predicting that Bradley takes a few rounds to work things out and then cutesy-brawls he's way to a clear UD.

The thing that worries me most is Bradley admitted that Peterson gave him hell to the body. (I hate it when Fighters divulge highly sensitive info). So I'll be looking for Devon (If he/his team are smart) to work towards the body.

I seem to agree with the majority here. Alexander does have the skillset early to give Bradley lots of trouble. I think it's Bradley's will and determination that will pull him through this fight. I can only think when Kendall Holt just about knocked his head 180 degrees around and Bradley getting up to take a clear cut desicion. He will walk through some hell but will a desicion.

Do you think that Bradley admitting that is part of his game plan? In order for Alexander to get to Bradley's body, he have to get close. Alexander key factor is his jab. He's a little longer then Bradley. With his power coming at the end of his punches. Especially on a 1-2 combo. Kinda like Holt. And not to mention, Bradley has been putting a lot of work on body punches himself. Just a thought.

The cards and the stars just don't seems to line up right in boxing anymore. Bradley vs Pacman could be a good fight. But soemthing is telling me, that's not going to happen. Bradley, IMO, is who the sport needs to win. But, I've always been on the underdog side. And Alexander is skilled enough to get the job done.

Na, Bradley admitted really having to tough it out after some body work from Lamont Peterson right after their fight over a year ago. So it's definitely not a ploy of any kind.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Actually scrap that... Apprarently Lamont Peterson hurt Floyd Mayweather to the body before his fight with Marquez so, relatviely speaking, it's a moot point

Did everyone overhype the iron twin ko win or did we put to much into his (cough cough) win over kotelnik and should just say hey everyone has a bad night at least he won. Either way i see bradley "accidently headbutting and beating alexander for most of the rounds. Bradley is going to def get caught a couple of times but he'll be busy for every other moment of the fight. Just my guess.

When Alexander fought Urango, Urango had a string of tough fights.. Getting hit a lot. Not to sure how that KO came. Was it really Alexander's power or Urango string of rough fights?

[dynamitefists blue]

Alexander. The reason why I pick him over Bradley, is the hunger and desire he has. Bradley won the title from Junior Witter who was nowhere near his best.Alexander the great maybe not, but Alexander the champ fits nicely.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Another thing that worries me about Bradley is his tendency to keep his hands kinda low, or out if position whenever he's rolling around, underneath shots.
Plus his left hand is generally a little low and wide... I can see Alexander's jab becoming a bit of a pest.
Plus he has watch being caught square... Unless it's to his own advantage, which usually when he does, it's not.

But other than that, I'll think he'll win

[rjj tszyu]

I think Bradley wins a close but clear UD!

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Thought I'd bump this thread as I am officially pumped for this fight. Can't wait!

"The Great"...
I think Bradley wins the early rds. because of his pressure style and he'll do just slightly more.
Once Alex adjusts I think it's all Alex from the 3/4th and on.
Bradley better bring something else then just straight forward pressure because I don't think that'll work vs. Alex.
I would not be surprised if Alex caught Bradley with a shot as Bradley pressures him and drops him.

Well straight forward pressure worked for kotelnik against alex so why not for bradley? Anyways though I hope this fight goes a full 12 and is one to remember...
