Can Bradley and Alexander “Bring the Nitty Gritty back to the Motor City?
December 20th, 2010
By Tommaso Nappo: On Jan 29th 2011, in The Pontiac Silverdome one of the most anticipated unification fights in some time is being fought in the light welterweight division. The winner will be widely considered the divisions best ( with all due respect to Amir Khan the current WBA Champion ) , and no doubt scale the p4p list as well. Timothy ” Dessert Storm ” Bradley is the current WBO Jr Welterweight Champion and ranked 9th by Ring Magazine in it’s pound for pound ranking. Bradley is undefeated in 27 fights 26 W 0L 1 NC (11 KO’s). His opponent is Devon “Alexander The Great” is the current WBC and (former IBF Jr Welterweight Champion recently stripped for selecting to fight Bradley). He is also undefeated with a record of 21 W 0 L (13 KO’s ).
I see this being an exciting fight in which one or both fighters come off the floor. Bradley’s incredible stamina, and punch rate could force Alexander into a pace he is not comfortable at nor used too. On the other hand Alexander’s southpaw stance, reach and boxing ability could give Bradley problems from getting inside where he needs to be in order to wear Alexander down.
How will Bradley deal with the quick southpaw, will Bradley be able to impose his will and break Alexander down. Will Alexander tire as the fight wears on if forced to fight Bradley’s fight. If I was forced to pick a winner I would lean towards Bradley by a close decision.I believe his ability to finish strong , high punch rate will be enough to get him the decision in a tough close fight. (to be clear I would not bet this fight with your money ). But like everyone else I will be watching with anticipation these two undefeated Champions putting it all on the line their titles along with their undefeated records.

a model A fight.
it wasent just 1s maidana pulled out to bradley it was 2s uz knw nothing about boxing its on bradleys website khan will get hammered by bradley look for him to avoid bradley and fight another bum
How will this fight decide who number 1. neither of these bums could beat maidana let alone khan. khan v either of these fools would be miles easiar than the maidana fight. who have either of these overatted fighters ever beat? alexander was whooped by kotelnick ha ha ha ha. he could nt box him how is he gonna box khan. I wont even watch these 2 overatted american bums. why bradley is in p4p is a mystery
This fight will unify the division what do you mean Khan an Maidana. Either one of this fighters Bradley or Alexander would knock Khan out if not punish him. Khan just turn down a big money fight over a undefeated Kell Brook. Kell Brook may get the “unanimous” light welter weight champ….Bradley or Alexander…… Stop running from the real names of your division clear it out like a real champ. First fight for one of the top belts in your class before you can start shot calling.
Both will beat Khan the joke
Chittown I know being Black makes you at a handicapp when it comes to reading comprehension. Try reading it again.
Awwwwww……look at Lou, all bitter!! LMAO!! (in baby voice)-”blacks are boring to watch, nobody wants to see them run, Tyson, Hearns are over, etc., etc.”, awww….. LMAO!!!! Some grown men, I swear… Oh, and Hearns, and for sure not Tyson were not “runners” at all. Can tell you dont know boxing!!! LOL!!
Bradley just seems to know how to get it done ,without getting too beat up himself,He has better than average reflexes,and power enough to keep his opponents off balance,and quickness to match any of them.
actually this is 1 fight i couldnt care less about … they both would get beat by either Khan or Maidana
How many boxers out there are fighting a legitimate rival in their weight division? Usually a boxing will look for an easy mark, a fighter they know thy can beat.
if not for joe cortez i would have beaten khan into submission bring him again i want the rematch……….
Alexander could barely beat Kotelnik, it should’ve been a draw. And Khan schooled Kotelnik. Khan is way better than Alexander, and probably Bradley.
Both fighters want nothing to do with Khan or Maidana!
two good fighters, not great. I think both would lose to Kahn
Maidana will knock Bradley out. Madiana pulled out because he wasn’t notified that he was fighting Bradley
No body wants to see Blacks box the days of Hearns, Leonard and Tyson are over. Since boxing went global allowing Russian to box and Eastern Europeans and increased of Latin fighters. Boxing fans tend to see Blacks are boring. We’ll watch track and field if we want to see running.
Clash of the over-hyped.
maidana was dodging bradley pulling out with back injurys and bradley will hammer khan look for khan to duck bradley
How can you say Bradley or Alexander will be the LWW division best when niether have fought Khan. I think both of these boxers will duck Khan and Maidana.
Two undefeated guys battling it out. That’s what boxing should be about, defending their titles instead of protecting it, taking a chance against a legitimate rival.
