SHOWTIME Fight card 4/04/09

r7...body shot by bradley locked up holt for most of the round

 

Kendall "Stuck btwn Styles" Holt is Making this Fight HARDER than it Needs to B...WHEN he Jabs, it's STIFF, ACCURATE & Snaps Bradley's Head &/or Knocks him Off Balance...Bradley is LEERY of the Left Hook...

Holt Should B Doubling & TRIPLING his Jab Or Firing 1-2-3's (Left Jab-Right Hand-Left Hook)...Instead, he's Being OUTWORKED by the More CONSISTENT Bradley...



REED:mj:

 

holt is gonna have to get a little lucky to win this decision.
he's got the heavier hands so at ringside it might look like he is going better, but bernstein doesn't think so

 

REED UNDERestimated How INEPT Bradley's Power is...Holt's Chin SUCKS, yet he HASN'T Looked Hurt (2 the Head) 1nce N 10 Rounds, Despite Getting Hit FREQUENTLY...



REED:hammert:

 

The Problem for Holt is, Bradley's Doing CONSIDERABLY MORE N btwn Occasions when Holt Hurts or Buzzes him...If if Go's the Distance, REED Expects Holt to Claim he was ROBBED, Even Though he's CLEARLY Getting Outpointed...

REED:hammert:

 

I knew Bradley didn't have power, but I expected that to turn into Holt taking charge...and he sure hasn't.

 

Holt's Trainers R Giving him the Proper Advice about Finishing STRONG...



REED:hammert:

 

i think it may have been a glove touch kd...

 

haha...some chick yelling "and the new! and the new!"
nice ::

 

Uh-Oh...Bradley Certainly DIDN'T Need to TIGHTEN the Scorecards Any...REED Initially DOUBTED that the Knockdown was Legit, but Bradley REACTED like he was Hurt when the Fighters Re-Engaged...

KNOCKDOWN...Uppercut Dropped Bradley into the Ropes...

RUT-ROH!!!...


REED:doh:

 

If Holt loses, he'll have only himself to blame. Sonuvabitch shoulda let his hands go more, and used his jab more!

 

unanimous
114-112
115-111 x2
could be either guy
Bradley gets it

 

Holt's the BETTER Fighter Overall, he just DIDN'T Do Enough...It Must SUCK when U CAN'T Trust your Chin Enough to BRAWL, yet U're NOT Offensive Enough to MAINTAIN a "Boxing" Strategy...

Touching Interview by Bradley...


REED:mj:

 

Bradley one of the worst unified champs ever.
Of course, Holt would have been, too. haha

 

I thought Holt won 3 rounds, it was a pretty bad display by Holt. Judges got it right, Bradley walked him down and outworked him with the smaller firepower. :atu:

 

Though Bradley Won, he LOST...His Stock is LOWER than it was 12 Rounds Ago...


REED:mj:

 

Holt is more talented, he's not better than Bradley.

 

Yep...He's Got ALOT of Judah N him...He's an ORTHODOX Judah, w/a Better Jab...The LACK of Focus, the LACK of a Gameplan, INCONSISTENT Punchrate, UNreliable Chin, that's VINTAGE Judah...


REED:hammert:

 

Bradley saved my day. If he could punch I´d pick him to **** up Escobedo and Famoso for me. I think Valero deserves an easy first title defense against Famoso. :flip:

 

No way. At least Bradley came to fight. Holt fought like a woman.

 

When U HURT a Guy a Handful of Times, DROP him Hard 1nce & Make him Eat STIFF Jabs Whenever U Throw them, what do YOU Call That???:dunno:...Bradley WON the Fight, but REED Can't Say that he's BETTER than Holt...& REED PICKED Bradley...Would it Surprise ANYBODY if Holt STRETCHED Bradley N a RE???...



REED:dunno:

 

Depends on how well Holt times the headbutt.

 

Bradley is way better than Holt. He got caught a couple of times but proved over 12 rounds that he's better.

 

By NO Means is REED Saying Holt's Stock ROSE...But Bradley's Certainly DIDN'T Either...Bradley Even ACKNOWLEDGED that More Guys will Probably B Willing to Fight him Now, Since he's Shown Vulnerability...


REED:hammert:

 

:crying::crying:

 

::

Did Bradley HONESTLY Look "Waaay Better" to you TONIGHT, Steve-Dave???...Again, he WON the Fight Tonight, but that WASN'T The Type of Performance where 1 Guy Unequivocally Illustrated Any Level of DOMINANCE Over the Other...


REED:hammert:

 

His stock rose in my eyes by displaying an ability to face adversity that I didn't know Bradley possessed. I'm very impressed that he got up from such a vicious KD, and went on like it was business as usual.

 

Seriously, I thought he appeared a class better as an all-around fighter.

 

i didnt see this tonight. was it close? from what i read, holt dropped bradley twice but got outworked for the most part.

 

WHen you get dropped like that in the first round and still walk your opponent down and win a clear decision you are better. That would describe tonight's fight.
