PS: Just pick the two who you think will win.:good

Campbell on points. Wider than everyone else expects.
Witter on points as well- too much experience and the bloke is hungry.:good
All in all, a fantastic night's worth of boxing action:yep.

I'm not that confident about Witter, Alexander has fought no one but he's a hungry young fighter. Tricky pick IMHO.

Which it undoubtedly will:yep
Thats just my gut feeeling right now though. TBH I thought Bradley looked pretty shit against Holt, despite getting a well deserved decision. Whenever Holt decided to throw a punch it looked like oneway traffic in my eyes; Bradley looked beffudled. I have no idea why Holt switched off for such large sections of the fight.

Witter to overcome a nervy start and win on points.
Bradley to outlast Campbell - potentially a very, very good fight.

Have you checked out the "I know something you don't know" thread...I've posted a picture of me, look at it, and then look in the mirror :hey
Bradley can make this fight easier (still not easy) or hard for himself. I noticed at times against Edner Cherry he got sucked into some inside work. He handled himself well, but Cherry ain't Campbell. Campbell chewed Juan Diaz up on the inside. That is not where Bradley needs to be, he needs to be on the outside, using his youth and energy. Not tangling with the master on the inside. That is how Bradley could lose it I think, but he's done whats needed to be done so far and is solid overall so I think he'll edge it out.

If Bradley comes up trumps tonight he should be under consideration for the p4p lists. ESPECIALLY if Witter wins, but anyway I think he should.
Witter, Holt and Campbell in his last 4 outings is good form.

Campbell was the legit lightweight champion until he lost to the scales.
Holt was a top 5 contender.
Witter was probably top 3 at the time.
He has more than a strong case, compared to guys like Doniare, Paul Williams, Caballero etc.

Campbell was the top dog at 135- this is a new division entirely. As for Holt and Witter- exceptional fighters at 140 but by no means in anyone's P4P lists at the time, IMO.
I completely agree with you on Donaire, though:good.
You can question these guys, but then you look at your list...
Who is making up spots 8, 9 and 10? What is their form compared to Bradley?
Exactly...Bradley has a case as I say. Not that he should definitely be in, but considered.

I've used this analogy before but Bradley against someone like Nate, will look like a learner driving a car, moving the steering unsteadily and topsy tervy, resulting in haphazard movements. the car would not run steady on its side, its topsy tervy movements shall effect the driver himself, sometimes he may be going on his side and sometimes off his side. It may fall into any ditch any time or dash against any wall recieve jolts in ups downs...
he's relentless but not always smart with it and it can be used against him, i just think this is Nate's retirement party remember how silly he made Diaz look. if this fight is kept in short distance Nate can chop away to a ugly but fair decision. the thing that slightly makes me nervous is that Bradley always just wins and he's so damn determined. His fightgame is as vanilla as they come but he manages to outwork all his opposition though. Plus Tim's a strong little guy and this being Nate's first fight at 140 and at his age it might be tough for him to bully the kid. That said I've got Nate by decision and i'm still convinced. rarely wrong when i'm convinced
Diaz was a masterful performance, but he had such a stylistic advantage, no way should he have been that much of an underdog (needless to say i called it)
his best performance for me was against casamayor if you put it into perspective, he was a relative novice at championship level despite is advanced age he gave a prime casa all he could handle and i might've scored that fight a draw (long time since i watched it) wouldn't argue with a split but no way a clear UD for casa, the fact that casa ducked him for a rematch in which campbell tried everything including literally chasing him around to make happen and that casa was willing to face a diaz that nate had already beaten shows you what casa thought, he should've beaten hlatshwayo as well.
what has me so damn confused about Bradley is that you can't put your finger on a lot of things that he absolutely does wrong...he just doesn't use it to his full advantage either. Take his footwork for example He doesn't follow a guy around the ring like say Miranda, Bradley knows how to cut it off. But once cutting off, he doesn't punctuate a proper flurry or do many things that will be effective against someone like Campbell, Take his jab, decent. But he doesn't consistently work behind it. A slickster with angles, someone who punches inbetween his slightly wide punches and knows his way on the inside beats him everytime
Holt was controlling that fight but as i said before he just didn't finish his meal and inexplicabily stopped throwing the jab which was winning him the fight, Holt gave that fight away and Bradley will have to do better then he did in that that fight against Nate, because Campbell ain't handing him the fight
well, the thing is campbell is better now then when he fought the likes of casamayor back then he was a relative novice and he still gave a prime casa hell and maybe should've got a draw, for me this a tougher fight for bradley then witter and holt and he's the one who has to pull a big performance out and raise his game, campbell won't do any of the things those previous opponents did
but when did bradley become a "boxer" all of a sudden? the major disadvantage for Bradley is his ineptitude on the inside and campbell's mastery, it would be good for Bradley to go "in and out" and flurry, it would be good for him to box at range but unfortunetly he has the circle of a battleship and its against his instincts plus he hasn't a legit jab, the footwork nor finesse to maintain distance to keep campbell at long range for long periods of the fight meaning it'll be pretty easy for campbell to do what he wants and this is where the fight runs away from Bradley.
What he needs to do is keep campbell moving because Nate likes to punch from a stable planform and also Bradley must not exchange in prolonged stints in the pocket. I can see Bradley starting well mixing it up and maybe dominating the first couple of rounds, the problem is as the fight moves on Bradley starts to have a more predictable punching pattern, creating counter opportunities for Campbell.
I can see Campbell imposing himself and controling the pace of the fight after the early rounds, Campbell then banking rounds with Bradley taking the odd one here and there, i can see a situation where Bradley maybe needs to pull out something big in the latter rounds but the crafty veteran holding on for the decision.
just a selection of posts i wrote over the past couple of days
The Witter UD predictions are interesting. Not rubbishing it at all, I just thought more would see a stoppage win for Witter.
It will be interesting to see how and if Witter can win a decision. He'd need to change things I think to accomplish that.

PS: though to be fair I was refering to the Witter fight. Neither Campbell or Bradley is British; I just added them on since they're top-of-the-bill.
