Not long til this much anticipated clash and it's got the potential to be fight of the year.

 

This will wet your appetites

You can get the full ''face off'' at the start of the clip. Def worth watching.

 

Bradley was saying that this fight is gonna be like Hagler vs Hearns.

In fact both are saying this, plus Bradley is admitting that Devon takes a shot better and hits harder. Now do some of you think that this will give Devon the ''mental edge'', or will it not matter at all?

 

::::::

Hagler and Hearns could punch.

These guys..... well, cant.

The more exciting this fight is, the more it favors Bradley. A boxing match favors Devon.

My final prediction is Bradley by UD. It'll be a close to even fight for 8 rounds, then Bradley takes over late.

 

both sucks ball

 

Do you favor Khan over these two if either meet Khan?

 

BIG difference.

Now I am not saying these guys are feather-fisted, but they both have below average power or average at best, and they are both very tough fighters, to boot.

I don't see anything but a distance fight in this one. While I expect it to be very entertaining and an exceptional chess match with high punch volume, it doesn't have me thinking "Fight of the Year" candidate.

Push comes to shove, I like Bradley in a decision. But consider Alexander a very live underdog.

 

I'm impressed with Bradley's confident attitude. He has the look in his eye that he will win this and the manner of a champion. In Devon I sense fear, sometimes in this interview he doesn't finish some of his sentences, stuttering slightly too. Bradley owned him in this face off.

UD Bradley all the way.

 

You could be right, and I also favour Bradley. I don't think it has anything to do with that... in my estimation Alexander is overwhelmingly less intelligent than Bradley. That's why he stutters, mumbles and isn't going to beat anyone in a war of words.

 

Bradley 8-3-1. Competitive but decisive.

For the record and to illustrate my thinking on this, my base bet on this fight is Bradley by decision straddled by the fight not to go the distance at 3-1 (to cover freak KOs, headclashes, injuries etc), and a draw (after losing money on Hopkins & Ortiz draws).

In other words I'm very confident Alexander won't out hustle Bradley.

 

We are opposites on this one... i have alexander to win, with a hedge on the over... so that if Bradley wins in over 9.5 rounds... i break even. If Alexander wins in over 9.5 rounds, I win nicely. If it goes less than 9.5 rounds.... I cry

 

Right, I get you. I looked at the over but the odds were so short I didn't think it was worth bothering with. Do you have Alexander by decision or just to win?

 

Devon repeats himself too much too. ''me'', ''me'', ''me'' ::

 

Alexander by decision.

 

My fear is actually that the action will never come close to matching the anticipation.

That said, it's a very necessary fight and I'm looking forward to it.

I got Bradley by decision, 116-112ish or perhaps a tad wider. Not unlike how Hut_Hut views it.

 

Bradley is 4/9 for the win (5/6 points), with Devon 7/4 (2/1 points)
(william hill)

Not great odds

To be honest, looking at an Alexander KO win before round 9, each round is 50/1. If i was to bet on this, i'd go for a KO Devon win in either rounds 6/7 or 8, but i'm not going to jinx this and bet as I want full prediction league points ::

 

Seems we're both fairly well covered (aprox 3-1 against us losing our money). I honestly can't see Alexander outboxing Bradley, I think Tim's too versatile; I think he's gonna get inside on Alexander with those fast feet and mug him. He has that versatility and adaptability that Alexander (or Khan) just don't.

I think the only way he wins is by some sort of surprising stoppage.

But according to the bookies my risk is slightly bigger than yours.ray: But then I have a draw covered so we might even out.

 

Yeah the draw isn't a bad play at all. I am just very confident that it goes 12, Bradley probably wins (break even) and a slight chance that Alexander can pull it off (win big)

 

I got Bradley at evens. After my straddles it's 3/5 though.

 

I would go for Bradley 116-112 too, 8 rounds to 4. I can't sense any knockdowns for either fighter in this one, but it will be abit of a scrap.

I think Devon will come out fast and Bradley too, but Bradley boxing with more assurance.
I think Bradley may win the first 3 rounds with relative ease, but Devon will eventually get better and land more and possibly win 3 of the next 4 rounds.

Bradley will probably take over and win the majority of the latter rounds, with Devon possibly having a big 11th or 12th, but will prove too little in the end on the scorecards.

 

I am not impressed at all with Khan, but he can knock out both of these guys IF he doesn't get outboxed to a humilliating decision.:scared2:

 

Khan vs Bradley is the one I want to see at the end of 2011

 

Khan is dangerous early doors vs either, especially vs Bradley

I think Bradley would fuck Khan's life.ointlaugh:

 

Me too, what is all this business about Devon outboxing Timmy?

Timmy is not a swarmer or a speedy pressure fighter, he is a quick, compact little boxer, like a prime Lil Stevie.

How is Devon going to outbox him? He's got a decent jab, punch selection, and is quite patient, but I actually think Timmy is the better boxer of the 2, faster, more skilled, and more versatile.

The one thing that is being underrated about Devon is his power. People are acting like their power is similar (saying both have average power).

No. Devon hits a lot harder. He seems to be punching harder more recently, just look at his record, early in his career he had loads of decisions, recently he has more KO's, against better opposition too. Usually it's the reverse of this.

KOing Urango with 1 punch? That's not average power, and that's not something Bradley is capable of.

If Devon wins it's by KO, but I think Timmy wins a clear decision, at least 116 to 112.

 

I agree with almost every single word. I think the only way Alexander wins is if he lands one of those big lefts as Bradley leaps in. I've covered with my that straddle at the bookies, but I don't think it's probable enough to take up as one of my 2 picks in the prediction thread.

I'm not sure I agree that Alexander has a good jab though, and that's one of the reasons Im so convinced Bradley will win handily. He certainly commits to the jab allot, but it's flicking, weak and very inaccurate and I can see Bradley slipping in on the way inside to land more telling hooks all night.

And it's on the inside and in clinches where I really think Bradley will establish his authority - he's very comfortable in close and with physicality in close, Alexander isn't and whats more, being the tense, stiff type that he is I think he'll get offset from his outside game by the rougher aspect of Bradley's game inside, too.

 

Bradley by unanimous decision.

 

Hey Buddy, sorry to badger you, but can you stick this in the prediction league thread with your back up pick, please?

 

No problemo, Hutster. I'm on it! :scared:
