Skelf 1,153 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 My opinion is changing on this fight.Bradley rather bizarrely admitted he's suffering flu, which isn't in his make up at all, and just appeared down beat and his usual confident in the press conference.I don't rate Alexander that highly, but he is a good fundamental fighter. I dunno, I strongly picked Bradley before, but I'm not so sure now.Not seen the press conference yet. I rate bradley the best in the division. Plus he has expierience at 147 as well which may stand him in good stead. Alexander is a good fighter and looked good in his KO win over Urango. Bradley on points for me.

Gash07 26 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'm suggesting that power punches tend to be slower than jabs. Not sure what's controversial about that.For me, Tyson's ability to throw power punches at the speed he did was unprecedented at the time.Well I'd Agree Tyson threw faster single shot power punches, but I disagree jabs are predominantly faster. The jab simply has the shortest distance to travel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradley on points for me.I'm taking Bradley as well, seems to show a better ability to make adjustments mid-fight than Devon, who ran out of ideas v Kotelnik after plan A went pear shaped. I like Devons speed and sharp jab though.On paper the styles don't suggest a great fight but I think both guys are hungry and should be aware this fight could be a springboard to much bigger things. I am looking forward to it.Last I heard they had sold under 400 tickets so far which is disastrous. Why it's in recession struck Detroit home of neither fighter is typical boxing madness.

No seriously I think they always had intended to set the silverdome up for about 17 000. Still disastrous though.Putting all the big fights in Vegas is part of the problem I think mate. Selling out to the casinos too early doesn't allow them to build a good fan base at home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goal machine 7,803 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I know he struggled against Kotelnik but I'm taking Alexander. Bradley's a good boxer but Devon is slightly quicker I think and seems to have a bit more power. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnerwickBlue 16 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 400 tickets for a fight as big as this is madness. Some domestic fights on sky for British titles have bigger crowds than that. What an absolute embarrassment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skelf 1,153 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Just read that laryea has told ricky burns he is gonna gut him like a pig when they meet on 12th march. Frank Warren insists he has bigger things planned for him if he gets by laryea. That may mean a fight at the brendanbeu... Then I will let rip into him.haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gash07 26 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 The big news across the pond at the mo' is that Bob Arum has taken Pacman and Cotto from HBO to rival network showtime. Interestingly, the deal with showtime which is a subscription based channel includes a tie in with it's sister network CBS, which is free to air terrestrial. The exact details are still unknown but being suggested are build up programs and possibly delayed broadcasts of the fights themselves.I think this a great idea and would love to see boxing of some sort back on council telly in the uk, even a magazine program with highlights would be good.

But afraid it could scupper any plans for pac-mayweather if its not on HBO PPV. don't think it would generate the revenue needed for floyd to get in ring with pacman. Maybe wrong though.

Maybe wrong though.Thats exactly what I was thinking. That will now be a major stumbling block for mayweather-pacquiao negotiations. I seriously hate Bob Arum. He is a disgusting businessman and human being. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnerwickBlue 16 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Yeah.People seem to blame Mayweather or Pacquiao for this fight not happening, whilst completely overlooking Arum's contribution. Arum doesn't want his most marketable asset to go into a fight he might lose, he'd rather he fought other Arum fighters and kept giving him a big slice of the pie.I wish all the promoters would gtf, or at least come together under one body governing world level pro boxing. It's people like Arum who have ruined boxing.Of all the promoters I dont mind Goldenboy too much. De La Hoya and Schaefer seem sound enough. One of the sites I was on yesterday made a good point about Shaw promotions ridiculous tendency to automatically have rematch clauses for every one of their big fights. Apparently there has already been a Bradley-Alexander rematch signed and they pointed out Dawson being forced to rematch Tarver and Johnson which took 2 years out of his career.

Oscar was a boxer so he knows all about what is acceptable in promoting. Thats why khan went to golden boy. Mayweather was right after the hatton fight when he said golden boy is the future of boxing. Also think Ricky Hattons company will be biggest in Britain aswel.

Maybe wrong though.Showtime has it's own ppv arm so that shouldn't be an issue, CBS is currently in 90 million homes, the advertising opportunities for such an event are clear.Floyd is however an HBO fighter, Pac is now over on a rival network this presents an extra obstacle. De la Hoya is a pretentious lying dick just like almost every other promoter, but Oscar wears fishnets which elevates him to fag status.
