Bradley vs Maidana Agreement Reached For June 19, HBO - Boxing News

By Rick Reeno

BoxingScene.com has been advised by several strong sources that an agreement was reached for Timothy Bradley (25-0, 11KOS) to defend his WBO junior welterweight title against Marcos Maidana (28-1, 27KOs), the WBA's interim-champion, on June 19 with HBO televising. The venue is being finalized and should be revealed in the next couple of days.

Bradley was originally scheduled to make his HBO debut against Luis Carlos Abregu in a welterweight contest, and Maidana appeared to be on course for a showdown with WBC champion Devon Alexander in August. Golden Boy Promotions and Bradley's promoter Gary Shaw were unavailable for comment.

He is now fighting Maidana On June 19.

Much better fight for him.

You can find the news on boxingscene.

Bradley has an awful moustache, but I love him as a fighter. This will be a really good fight, but I think Bradley has too much all round skill for Maidana.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Great stuff. Bradley's getting on with the dominance.

[killersheep]

Killer fight, I absolutely love it. Bradley has to be the heavy favorite, but that doesn't matter, plenty of punches will land from both sides. FOTY candidate, calling it now.

[Violent Demise]

Good to see him coming to his senses. Him going to 147 for a meaningless fight when there were still great fights at 140 was pretty damn stupid. I'm taking Maidana in a shoot out. His power will be the difference

Oh hell that made me laugh out loud...... Funny as. I always imagine him as a bit of a preacher that could turn up at my door on a sunday afternoon and try get me down to the local congregation for a sing along.... I don't have anything against that kind of thing atall, but it would have given me a really nice wry smile to watch Abregu put him on his backside.

[Phil]

yep you got to respect Bradley for fighting the best out there, I think Maidana will be his toughest fight yet, hard one to call...

Hahaha yeah he does have an air of jehovah's witness about him

[generalbulldog]

Looking forward to this. I say Bradley takes a UD.

[Hunter]

Hard to bet against bradley but i can see Maidana putting Bradley down a time or two.....

[Conrad]

Just what Khan's camp was hoping for I guess, if Maidana loses then they can argue why bother fighting him?

I thught Bradley was fighting at 147 next anyway?

[ono]

Bradley, quite easily.

[Mar]

Good for maidana he deserves this fight. Only problem is i see bradley having no problem with this guy at all. Maidana is too slow for bradley, and can punch really well but is either off or on with his defense. I like how so far bradley will fight damn near anyone.

[blegit]

Yeah, Khan's people are happy about this because Bradley should win this one. If the Bradley who fought Peterson shows up then this will be a UD convincingly. Maidana will bring a competitive fight though. Nice fight.
