Bradley - Alexander Fight Thread

[Tam Seddon]

I am so glad that this match up is taking place. Its great to see the 140 weight class getting good fight again as the weight class hasnt been at its greatest since Tszyu left, Cotto, Hatton and Mayweather all moved up. We now have some elite fighters in this weight class and this match up is surely going to be one of the biggest in the world in 2011.

Both fighters have a lot on the line with this match up and they know this. heres a link with fightnews on how they are feeling towards the fight: Boxing - Fighting For History. as a boxing fan i can say im really excited to see this fight and believe it will be very close. As to how I think the fight will go I am favouring Bradley. I think he has the greater ability to adapt to difficult situations and change the fight if its not going his way. I think Alexander struggled a bit with what should of been a routine performance against Andrey Kotelnik. I know a lot of people on here thought i was a bad choice of fight but Kotelnik is an ex champion and will push any fighter. Although Alexander got the nod I think in comparison to Bradley at this stage of his career he hasnt matured to the levels Bradley has reached. This is why im picking Bradley to win either a close UD or SD. Im going with Bradley in the fight though. whats your picks?

I personally think they are both limited but should be a good fight, like Bradley to take control in the second half of the fight and win a clear decision.

Bradley will win a clear decision. He's much more durable, I just see Alexander surviving, but clearly losing.

I think it will be close early on, but Bradley will adjust and be in the better condition down the stretch. He will show why he is the best fighter at 140.

I was in on the press confrence today and I was suprised that after all the mud slinging back and forth they both showed real respect towards one another but Bradley seemed to be more confident....When both fighters were asked how they felt the fight would go believe it or not Bradley was pretty much under the assumption most everyone here is...It will be close in the early rounds as they felt each other out and he will take over as the fight progresses....Alexander said he thinks he will stop Bradley.....I think in the early rounds it will be close with Alexander having a slight edge but Bradley will come on strong as the fight progresses and that will really play on Alexander who in the Kotelnik fight seemed very discoursged later on....

I noticed something funny about Devon though the more he talked the more it seemed obvious...I think he is already suffering the effects of too many punches to the head...Maybe from his amateur days? He slurred his words a lot...Anyone else ever notice that about him?

Yeah I noticed that in a few post fight interviews.

I hope Bradley wins but got a funny feeling Devon might stop him.

Very excited about this match tonight and I'm so glad its fight night!

I am neutral at the moment, I just can't wait to see what happens. I think this is one of the biggest match that isn't on PPV, so I am very excited

[CFH]

I'm very excited for this fight. I think Alexander win on the strength of his counter-punching. He's going to walk Bradley into hard shots all night.

I'm so pump for this fight. Why oh why can't matches be made like this more often. Anyway I love both fighters, 2 absolutely phenomenal talents, I just look at Bradley and see that look in his eye that makes me feel he cannot be denied. I have no doubt it will will be a close fight. I just feel it's Bradley time right now. Win or lose tho, both fighters will end up going on too be top pound for pound fighters. I definately see a trilogy over the years between the two no matter what the outcome. What a great start too this years fight calender.
