Bradley tells Khan to stop running

By William Mackay: WBC/WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (27-0, 11 KO’s) gave a glimpse of his next fight when being interviewed by HBO last Saturday night at the Nonito Donaire vs. Fernando Montiel fight at Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, saying that he’ll be fighting WBA Super World light welterweight champion Amir Khan (24-1, 17 KO’s) on July 23rd in Las Vegas, Nevada. Where things got kind of weird is when Bradley “Hopefully I get Khan in the ring with me, so Khan stop running, Man. It’s time to get it on. Stop running Amir Khan.”

I’m no fan of Khan, but I don’t think for a second he’s running from Bradley. Khan is merely taking a tune-up fight on April 16th against little known, weak-punching, slow-handed Paul McCloskey (22-0, 12 KO’s). I don’t see this as Khan running at all. I think Khan is just looking to get an easy payday so that he can milk his WBA belt with an easy win because he almost got knocked out in his last fight against Marcos Maidana.

Khan could have fought Breidis Prescott to try and avenge his defeat, but instead chose to fight McCloskey, a fighter that few boxing fans know of outside of the UK, and fewer still wanted to see Khan fight this guy. Khan obviously is looking to avoid facing another big puncher, and that’s why this guy was chosen. They wanted to face a contender in the light welterweight, but most of the contenders can punch a little. McCloskey can’t and the best part of all, the WBA has given him an inflated #5 ranking despite the fact that he’s never faced anymore in the top 15.

  • p-diddy says:

    Bradley has no great skill either but will be like a bull dog for 12 rounds.

  • p-diddy says:

    I’m from UK and been watching khan since Olympics… he has poor technique but is just so fast and fit. I think Bradley will do better than maidana and get the victory.

    khan has got no chance against bradley if you think about it. bradley is a mean boxer and can adjust to any style. believe it or not p@ki khan will get ko’d by bradley. trust me.

  • Boxing-Fan says:

    Khan is going teach Bradley a lesson when they fight… Bradley again will use his head&Khan his fits&win on points or even may KO Bradley late…

  • FromBuenosAires says:

    Bradley appears to be heading to the title.

  • Murphy says:

    There you go again bri…typical American writing off anything that’s British…we are your founders so show some respect.

  • bri says:

    khans is gona get hurt bad in that fight. eyes will split. blood will be lost. he will be done by the 6th or 7th round especially without ariza’s special sauce and its over. one sided decison for bradley it will be a very dirty fight though. very very dirty….

  • Murphy says:

    When bradleys team told him to use his head when he boxed I don’t think they meant literally! lol

  • LOL says:

    PEOPLE WHO HEADBUTT GET THEIR EARS BITTEN OFF.
    ASK HOLYFIELD ABOUT IT.

  • bri says:

    cant blame him seems to be a atribute of british fighters to talk but not back it up. hopefully khan does get into the ring with bradley and not make any excuses.

  • Knives says:

    That Shaolin head Technique of Bradley is deadly. It made Devon Alexander quit. But i believe Roach will make a perfect game plan for it so that bradley’s head will not turn out to be a deadly weapon but instead a punching head ball for Khan.

  • donkey says:

    Bradley sure did tell Khan to stop running so he can HEADBUTT him several times. LOL!!!!

  • Manjot says:

    Hahaha! That’s funny ‘Bradley’s shaolin head technique’ lol! True though!

  • Knives says:

    Khan must avoid Bradley’s shaolin head technique.

  • crottyruh says:

    If Bradley could stop ramming with his bald head… maybe khan will.
