I stated on another post I didn't have enough confidence to bet, but after further study I LOVE Bradley. I can see Alexander making the fight close at best.

Bradley looks better every fight

Bradley's conditioning is best in the sport

Alexander seems too one-dimensional. He goes to his right too much - will fall into Bradley's liver shots. Plus Alexander is very inexperienced and has never fought anyone NEAR as good or athletic as Bradley.

Alexander is already talking about ducking Khan

Bradley's poise is what makes me confident though.

DatMofoThere85 : Good statement. Just don't take Alexander's last fight as weakness. Kotelnik is a master technician. He's lacks in athletcisim (speed, power, quickness). He is the type of fighter that makes fighter's look bad. Bradley does have high confidence, which makes him an over achiever. His skill set is mediocre, except for his conditioning an attitude. Alexander's movement and reach will make the difference is he applies them. This will allow him to set up power shots that Bradley won't be able to connect with. Alexander uses angle shots, Bradley is more conventional and straight forward. We all somewhat know what to expect from each fighter. I think it will go to score cards and how the judges see it. Will Bradley's constant forward movement be rewarded over Alexander's occasional power shots. I think this is the perfect fighter for Alexander, not implying because he can easily win, because he knows what to expect. The reason Bradley is a favorite is because the odds makers know Bradley will perform. Alexander is the question mark. Will he be overwhelmed by Bradley's constant agression? I think not. I think the first 4 rounds Alexander will keep the fight at distance and try to use his reach and movement, then close the gap when he feels Bradley isn't adjusting.

I like Bradley a lot in this fight too.  Let me bet it before you move the line.......
