I also had that fight 115-111. My prediction was looking pretty damn good in the 1st round, but after the 4th round I realized Bradley was the superior fighter. Holt just didn't go to work. He looked good when he snapped that jab and caught Bradley coming in, but he wasn't consistent. He's one of the most frustrating fighters to watch. He has so much talent and is so underrated, but he just doesn't put in the work in the ring. To me, it seems like he has the potential to be one of the best 140 pounders in the world. Bradley is a beast though, and he proved a lot tonight. He's got the mentality and the skills of a true champion. He's one hell of a boxer, and he's a pretty good guy as well.

Good fight! It went as I expected with Holt showing his power early, but Bradley weathered the storm with better boxing skills. Bradley seems to be the more complete fighter. I think Holt relied too much on those dangerous counter-punches. He didn't do enough in the middle rounds. All three judges and the ref did a wonderful job. This shows that you don't need the WBC's open scoring crap, to get a fair and just decision.

The thing that makes Bradley so difficult is his dynamism. He was always moving or punching or weaving etc. His defense was impressive and if you look at it this way he has now boxed on even terms with two of the most physically talented fighters in the division, Witter and Holt.
By the way CEO, I think you are giving Bradley too much credit for keeping that right hand up. Keeping that right hand up is what you're supposed to do, he made a mistake of not doing that in round 1 but it's not like he made an incredible adjustment. That's like a fighter fighting for 2 rounds with his hands low and then finally putting them up and calling the fighter great for making an obvious adjustment. |

That's what you're supposed to do alright...and I'm not calling him "great"....but many supposed "World Class" boxers don't think and make adjustments in the heat of battle....like Hatton, for example...who kept coming in eating check hooks like popcorn against Mayweather...

LOL that's true, still he should keep his hands tucked in when trading like that, Bradley I mean. I don't think there's much hope for Hatton. |
