Bradley - Alexander Fight Thread

[TheMacMagician]

I read a slew of posts last week that said Alexander has taken to man head shots and is or sounds slurring and punch drunk I laugh because people from that part of the US have that sort of drawl to them.. The kid is a baby let him fight 20 more years and then accuse him of sounding like Holyfield.. Also contrary to popular belief not all boxers sound articulate like literary genuises :-P Any How I do believe Alexander is the better balanced fighter of skill, chin, power than Bradley. I also think that Bradley will get countered a bit too.. I think the Key is for Cunningham to keep his head screwed on straight when the 8th round up until the end of the fight. I also think Devon has more than enough power in his right to slow down Bradleys work rate and keep the fight at his pace and distance. I have never been impressed with Bradley, I feel like his best showings are against faded competition..(Witter and Campbell) he did look solid against Peterson who couldn't crack an egg and couldn't finish Peterson either even though he was pressing and cleaning him up.

Alexander for me. Maybe 10th round stoppage

Absolutely can't wait for this one. What a way to start the year off.

JT, I have it a similar way to you, seeing Alexander winning inside the distance, via a beautiful counter, which Bradley is definately open to hear and there. You only have to watch the Bradley Holt fight to see that. I personally think Alexander is more skilled and a better counter puncher than Holt for sure. I Alexander can keep cool and box through early barrages and plenty of punches from Bradley I see him catching Bradley around 8 or 9.

I hope Alexander wins, I thought he might have had something special, so im hoping he was just looking past Kotelnik to bigger fights in the future so we can call that a blip. I think he's shown a variety of skills, speed and good power in the past. If he does lose he's got more time to come back only being 23, but I think we need all the young stars we can get to be honest. I hadn't heard him before the recent 'face-off' but I wasnt suprised to hear him speak how he doesn knowing where he's from, as JT said.

[No Contest]

I am picking Bradley to win a close decision. He has better defense, and I think has more arsenal to choose from. I was a lil worried when he said he was sick with the flu, but he is still on weight and seems healthy now. Alexander is solid but as Kotelnik showed he can be hit, I think Alexander has the power advantage but you got to hit the guy for it to be effective. Bradleys upper body movement in close will be his biggest asset.
