Khav vs Bradley

July 23.

Simple question. Who wins?

Khan for me by UD (3-4 rounds).

Kahn by UD. I think it would be another exciting fight though.

Unfortunately I dont think it would be. I see khan running for all 12 rounds taking no chances. I dont see Khan as chinny, but I reckon Khan sees himself as chinny hence him running behing pitta patter jabs all night long. Bradley is not fast of foot enough to get close to Amir.

Khan has said the only thing he has to worry about is Bradley's big head, which is his most dangerous weapon.

It is a joke how Bradley is saying Khan is running from him, when has Khan had a chance to face him.

July 23rd in Vegas questions will be answered. Tough fight for Khan but should win a UD by about 4 rounds

“I was shocked that he said I was running from him,” said Khan. “I had a fight with Maidana and I knew he was fighting Alexander. I never said once that I wouldn’t fight him. I was the one pushing this fight against Bradley, so how can he say that I’m scared of him? I want this fight to happen in the summer so he’d better be ready. The only thing I have to worry about in that fight is his head.”

how do you figure that? I initially thought khan would pitapat and run for 12 and win but Im one of the only guys who thinks khan's stock fell hugely in the maidana fight. He isnt as good or as complete as I thought he was. He is very very one dimensional, Bradley knows too much for him. It'll be an inside fight all night Khan wont know what to do. Bradley wins by comfortably. Bradley is very advanced

Bradley.

Khan utilises reasonable lateral movement, a sound jab and a high guard. BUT he isn't naturally defensive, he doesn't handle pressure well and he is clumsy with his feet while attacking which leaves him open.

Bradley has good upper body movement, is very quick inside and up close and is physically very strong at the weight. He's not the biggest puncher, but you don't need to be to hurt khan. Bradley loops some of his shots which leaves him open, which could be a factor.

But khan cant cope well with effective pressure, which is what Bradley will bring. We saw how maidana was able to walk him down at times, and how he was able to land overhand rights and uppercuts up close. Bradley is much quicker and more accurate than maidana inside, and faster coming forward. Khans high guard jab jab flurry and run tactics are effective against technicians like kotelnik and paulie who stand off him, but Bradleys strong, effective pressure fighting style will be too much for khan over 12 rounds IMO and I'd expect Bradley to stop him in the championship rounds.

Khan just has to watch for that head, it has ended a few fights for Bradley.

Khan needs to improve his condition a bit, it was because he tired against Maidana that Maidana was able to catch him.

Bradley has a good overhand right and Maidana caught Khan with that shot a lot, but that and Bradley head is the only danger and Roach will have a game plan to cope with that.

I have a feeling that Khan wanted too prove a few doubters wrong in the Maidana fight and that's why he stood and traded instead of the hit and move tactics we had seen before, even against Paulie he used hit and move. Something tells me as well that Roach wasn't impressed by his antics against Maidana and will have it drilled into him that Bradley is and inside fighter and if Khan stands still for one second it'll allow Bradley onto the inside.

Roach will have his gameplan, can Khan stick too it is the question.

Big differences being that 1) Malignaggi can't punch 2) He didn't really try and get on the inside. Khan could use hit and move because he wasn't being closed and Paulie seemed happy enough to stay at range. Khan's jab looked great there to control the fight, not so much against an opponent who is happy to take a few to work inside. It raised as many questions as answers for me. Can definitely see why someone would pick Bradley, but I slightly favour Khan.

Bradley is far more skilled than people give him credit for. Though khan has such fast hands a decent power that I would still have to favour him against everyone at 140 and a fair few at 147. But....

I also LOL at people who believe the maidana fight put to bed Khans chin issues.. Khan would have been taken out by any world class fighter in round 10 with a bit more intelligence... he was out on his feet.

Right. All they need is Maidana to put him out on his feet like that and then tag them in, they will finish him off.

Speed wins. Khan has a decent punch to earn Bradley's respect. If Witter can give Bradley issues, Khan will run away with the decision. Most people believed that Khan's stock rose immesureably against Maidana. Bradley would have been out if he took a punch like that.

Do they make gloves for heads?

Evander Holyfield is in a patent dispute with B-Hop for that one.

Have you noticed that boxer that like to headbutt shave their heads.

Like Valuev.

speed kills if the other guy's slow. Bradley's pretty quick himself.
Having no defence especially on the inside also kills, look at tyson holyfield, tyson doesnt know what to do. contrast that with toney holyfield- i know holyfield was past his best but the theory remains the same. Toney was very confortable under attack on the inside and picked holyfield apart. I think Bradley may even stop khan

i have amir winning this one by stoppage, he's got the reach and speed and if he keeps his distance shouldn't have a problem. khan will catch bradley on the way in all night, i think bradley is a bit to carless

Agree. Bradley is sloppy, and doesn't look good against rangey fighters that can jab. Doubt this one will be a classic though.

Top class fighters would have finished him off or at least forced a ref stoppage. De la Hoya would have flurried the shizzle out of him

How did you manage to miss my point so spectacularly? Who is to say 'top class fighters' can land a punch on him as powerful as the one that had him so shook?

You don't get to sub in a new boxer after 10 rounds, and quite a few would be worn out by then, including Oscar 'Fader' De La Hoya.

Khan by UD. I haven't been to impressed with Bradley recently. Khan has most of the physical advantages, and if he doesn't get involved in a brawl and sticks to roach's game plan he should win by 3 to 4 rounds.

That's the point Geoff, Bradley is a high quality opponent and will make this an inside fight. I think he'll smother him all night

Khan by wide UD.

I think he'll make Bradley look bad.
