abregu by KO is well worth it. don't think it's gonna happen, but it's well worth a shot with those odds.

If he gets stopped against this dude piddling around at welterweight, I think he should have to let Devon Alexander know him in a biblical sense as punishment. Then every time he hears Alexander go "HAH!" in the ring, he'll cringe and regret his decision. Anyway, I'm just bitter that fight's not happening.

I'm a huge Bradley fan and as such HATE this fight with a passion. 100% risk, 0% reward. OK, that's an exaggeration - but it's bad. Bad.
I wish he'd fought Alexander not because I think Devon's on his level or even a worthy foe, but just so everybody would shut up about it already. :yep And because that's a fight that Bradley would win, whereas Abregu...:-(
This is a crapshoot. Abregu could be outboxed for twelve rounds, or he could surprise everybody including Tim. Neither of them has faced anyone remotely similar to the other.

You make some great points.
I'm not sure this one is the foregone conclusion everyone is expecting even if I think Timothy will pull out the win somehow.
Over the course of his last three fights, Bradley has shown some strong improvement, IMHO.

Alexander Beats Bradley.
People said the same about Witter.
People said the same about Campbell.
People said the same about Holt.
People said the same about Peterson.
I see a trend developing.

Exactly! :good
As far as I'm concerned, Bradley-Witter saw the birth of a star, and yet amazingly there are still skeptics years later after he's continued to prove (and improve) himself.
Conversely, Alexander looked pretty ordinary to me in beating a much more shot and gunshy Witter in his own 'coming out party'. And then against Urango, well, that's a nice result in stopping him but it really only proves that Alexander is physically strong and can sit down on his punches. Urango's always been there to be hit, and anybody with a good amount of strength and athleticism and either the chin or defense to not get knocked out themselves stands a good chance of KOing Urango. Bradley might not stop him as he doesn't have the pop, but he'd certainly beat him 120-108 (give or take...Urango might score a flash knockdown or two but Bradley's recovery powers are great).
Alexander is more powerful and athletic.
Bradley is smarter and cagier.
They're more or less equally quick.
The match-up strongly resembles Ward and Dirrell.
IMO, Bradley (like Ward) has done more with less, which has to impress you more than Alexander and Dirrell skating by on their physical gifts.

massive payout glitch happened again.
i tried to bet 75 on Abregu to win over Bradley.
my mouse is old so it double clicks when it should single click. double clicking the submit button is what causes this glitch i believe.

I can c Abregu winning on sheer size. He's a real WW nd fought at Jr. MW i think. Tim may lose speed (contracted at 147)and he'll need it vs. the powerful natural welterweight. BTW, I'm going with Tim.

if you are right, there is a lot of vcash that is going to bite the dust.

For the first time in my life I'll have to root for Bradley. I see Abregu winning too but I think Bradley wins this one. 500 on Bradley.

I called this one fellas. Easy call though. The odds for a Bradley decision should've been worse considering he has little power, but hey, I'm not complaining! I just wish I would have bet on this with real money.
