Alexander vs Bradley: Timothy on his way to proving he’s the best in the light welterweight division

By Admin // Alexander vs Bradley // No Comments

Unbeaten WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (26-0, 11 KO’s) will be making his move for the number one position in the light welterweight division by taking on WBC light welterweight title holder Devon Alexander (21-0, 13 KO’s) on January 29th at the Silverdome, in Pontiac, Michigan. For the 27-year-old Bradley, this is the first part of his work to proving he’s the best fighter in the division. The 2nd part, provided that he beats Alexander, will be Bradley’s eventual fight against World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Amir Khan, if Khan ever takes the fight and doesn’t avoid it.

Bradley has proven himself already in fights against Junior Witter, Nate Campbell, Kendall Holt, Miguel Vazquez. Luis Carlos Abregu and Lamont Peterson. In the Peterson bout, Bradley badly schooled Peterson, beating him by a one-sided 12 round decision.

Alexander’s stock has really dropped since his questionable 12 round decision over former WBA light welterweight champion Andriy Kotelnik in August. This was a fight that Alexander was supposed to dominate and he ended up almost losing the bout. Alexander had cruised through his first 25 bouts before that, easily beating quality fighters like Juan Urango and Witter. However, the fight against Kotelik has sent up red flags that Alexander may not be ready for a guy like Bradley at this early point in Alexander’s career. Only 23, he’s being rushed a little into this fight and this could backfire on him and his management.

The winner of the Bradley-Alexander fight has to be considered the favorite to beat Khan in the future. Khan looked bad against Marcos Maidana recently, and seemed to need saving in the last three rounds when he was taking punishment from Maidana.
