    That means he knows it's going to the cards. First bitch move of Bradley's career.

    He can't punch and he can't draw. So let's fight where no one will go.

    This Fight BELONGS in St. Louis, Because that's THE ONLY Live Audience that will Give a Flying Fuck about the Matchup...If Bradley were SMART, he'd Agree to Fight in St. Louis AND Demand a % of the Live Gate....

    If I were Bradley I wouldn't go to St. Louis. Is a unification fight with the best two at 140 so it should be a neutral site. No way one guy should have a huge home field advantage.

    Ask Kotelnik if it's easy getting a UD in St. Louis! :eek:hno:

    Bradley would have to KO to win in that place. Most likely this fight will be a decision either way so it's realistic that he'll get robbed there.

    Besides the big picture for these guys will come for who ever gets the W not filling out an arena for one fight.

    a % of the gate wont be shit for bradley. hbo is putting up the real money, and tops he'd get 50,000 from a cut of the gate i imagine. may as well fight somewhere that he can actually win a rightful decision and keep his record in tact, and possible khan/ortiz fights alive

    After the Kotelnik fight I cant really fault Timmy for not wanting to go to the Lou. The change in venue to a neutral site will probably make me pick Bradley by decision.

    I don't blame him at all.

    Why fight in the other guy's hometown, with a HUGE chance you'll get completely robbed?

    Apparently, the owners of the Silverdome won't to regularly host Boxing and MMA events. Dan Rafael says they're actually paying more than 500k for the fight. :notallthere:

    I suppose Alexander is good enough to stymie Bradley with his style, but I expect Bradley to win this fight no matter where it's fought and no matter who's judging.
