Devon vs Tim Bradley is on

Nonetheless. Shaw likes to act like he's put upon or something - like he's a nice guy that's been victimized by fighters who don't appreciate what he's done for them.

Guess what. Fighters aren't there to prove their loyalty to promoters, just as promoters aren't there to help fighters. Both are in the game to make money. So when Shaw's response to the possibility one of his fighters is going to change promoters is anything but an attempt to improve that fighter's financial prospects, it seems pretty fucking absurd.

"You should stay with me because I helped you."

No. He should be promoted by whomever gives him the best propsects for success.

 

Liking isn't the same as believing someone is better or worse.
I do believe Khan is better than Alexander, however.

I've seen enough boxing to realize one bad loss isn't necessarily conclusive of a fighter's ability.

I mean Bradley was bland as a fighter in the sense that his fights are sort of bland. They're watchable, but I don't expect to see anyone get laid out by him or vice-versa.

His resume consists of 4 fights:
sw12 Witter
w12 holt
w12 L Peterson
w12 Abregu

That's not bad, but it isn't special. It could get better if Peterson and Abregu go on to be successful in the future, though.

 

you can throw in Campbell as well. Might look like less of an accomplishment in retrospect, but Bradley beat the crap out of him for as long as the fight lasted, and at a time when Nate was still a threat

 

I got the over in this one. No matter what the odds

 

the safer bet might be on it not happening. doesn't sound promising at the moment.

 

Hopefully these two get next year started off right

WBO junior welterweight champion Tim Bradley has officially signed his fight contract to face WBC/IBF champ Devon Alexander in a unification bout on January 29. The fight will be*televised by HBO. However, Alexander is expected to lose his IBF title before the unification takes place.*The sanctioning body has ordered him to face the mandatory challenger, Kaizer Mabuza, by December 28.

"Devon, you have gotten your wish. I've signed the contract. So the fight is on," Bradley said.

The*signing ends a back and forth struggle on the contract*terms*between Bradley and his promoter, Gary Shaw. Bradley (26-0, 11KOs) has been waiting to his hand on Alexander (21-0, 13KOs)*for some time.

"Devon Alexander and his camp have been doing a lot of talking, and the fight has been a big buzz in the boxing community and in the media," said Bradley. "And, you know, now we're going to see who is truly the best in the world in the 140-pound division. So on Jan. 29, I'm going to be very excited."

 

This is gonna be a great fight.

 

May the best man win. I think its gonna be a close fight.
