I suppose
in this kind of fight,with his size advantage he could have but from what i have seen of Abregu he looks unrefined and a bit clumsy.
Imo,he won’t land clean all that often,due to the diffenece in their abilities and when/if he does, Bradley,with the extra pounds will take the shots.
I wouldn’t be suprised if Bradley stopped Abregu late.
I’ll go Bradley UD,possibly late stoppage through acumulations of shots.
I dunno
Holt hits like the fist of an angry god, but even though he knocked Bradley down, he couldn’t put him out. I’m not sure Abregu hits as hard as Holt… I mean, sure, he could wobble and swarm him and force a stoppage, but I think Bradley’s tough enough to survive his best shots and good enough not to get too often.

Bradley has become my favorite fighter
It’s been a while since I had an easy answer for who my favorite is. It used to be Margarito, until the handwrapping came out. Once upon a time, it was Tito Trinidad. Before that, Tommy Hearns. All these guys were exciting, but most importantly willing to fight anyone and everyone. Thrilled that Mayweather was finally fighting Mosley (compared to the mismatches Pacquiao was fighting), I thought it would be the winner of that fight, but given Floyd’s attitude that just hasn’t stuck. In thinking about tonight’s fight, I realized Bradley’s my guy right now. He’s not the KO producer the above guys were, but like them, if it was up to him every fight would be a step-up. Or if he runs out of step-ups, he’s clearly up for fighting the top guy out there. Not saying he’s the best. I see the same top two as everone else does, and I want the same fight the rest of you do (BTW, #2 on my wish list would be Dawson-Bute). But I always enjoy Bradley’s fights and I love his attitude. Bob Arum sucks.
Bradley, Ward, and Adamek are all toward top of my personal favorites list

Maybe a promoter just wants to put a good fight on the undercard

Yeah but it’d be a $39.95 headliner instead. I get pissed when they do that, like for Marquez-Diaz II. They already poach me for shitty fights under the banner that IT’S A BIG FIGHT! Then for a potentially exciting fight they do it sometimes too. Pick one.

Angulo-Alcine R1
Feeling out first minute, then toward the end of the second minute, Alcine holds Angulo’s left arm and Angulo just tears him up with the right hand. Alcine getting banged up in there now! 40 seconds left in the round and Angulo is wailing away, and Alcine fires back and sends Angulo back! Alcine doesn’t look like he has anything on his punches at all and his hands look very slow. Angulo still landing and THE REFEREE STOPS IT IN THE FINAL SECONDS OF THE FIRST ROUND
Alfredo Angulo TKO-1

This is a really interesting interview. There’s only so much to say about a 3 minute fight, guys. Ask him what he wants to do next and move on with life. I’m sure you have a great featurette with Max walking around the streets and profiling the best fighters in and three classes around a particular division.
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
The featurette. That interview was absurd. Fighters very rarely “break down” any fight, instead choosing to thank God and their promoter (not necessarily in that order) and make it very clear that they want the famed Whoever My Promoter Tells Me To Fight I’ll Fight. If they need to fill time and have nothing, then have the boxing analysts analyze some boxing off the cuff at ringside for a bit. “So Max, Zab Judah came back last night,” etc.

Bradley-Abregu R1
I got a feelin’ this is gonna be a fun fight.
Bradley coming in with combinations then getting right back out and Abregu can’t uncork at all in the first minute. But to Abregu’s credit he’s not being over-anxious either. Looks like he wants to at least try to time Bradley. Their heads come together and…Bradley has a small cut from an accidental headbutt. Hot dog!
Right hand Abregu clips Bradley but nothing major. Bradley landing more and generally getting off first, but Abregu starting to throw back in the final minute of the round.
According to Max, not having hair = headbutts.

My feeling this would be fun appears to have been a Rancho Mirage. boom shakalaka
Bradley isn’t getting much resistance at all from Abregu, who appears more and more shy about throwing. He’s got to force a fight if he wants to have any hope here because he doesn’t have the skill to get Bradley in an exchange, I don’t think. He’s got to start leading some action and not just have the fight dictated by Bradley, which it has been for three rounds solid now.

Bradley’s only real flaw is that he gets a little wild with his punches (maybe it’s just the competition, I dunno). Maidana is a guy who can make him pay if some of those punches get a little wide.

Bradley-Abregu R6
Bradley peppering him. Timbo doesn’t appear to have welterweight power — I say that because whenever I say a guy doesn’t look like he has real good power someone he tends to knock the crap out of the other guy in short order.
The outclassing here is pretty enormous. Abregu has not been able to do anything. I think he’s landed one truly good punch the entire fight and has never had any rhythm.

I highly doubt the winner of every bike race is the guy who’s “most determined” like Max says but then I am no expert about bicycle racing.
Bradley with a left hook to the body and DOWN GOES ABREGU! The heads came together apparently after the punch — so was that a knockdown? This fat guy in the first row is all NO WAY BRO as Abregu tries to recover.
So no knockdown I guess.
Bradley is TEARING ABREGU UP now! Wow! HE’S GONE BANANAS! Holy crap! Abregu tried to clinch him up and Bradley just starts unloading on him.

Bradley taking it easier this round. Good left hook by Abregu stings Bradley. This is IMO the most competitive round of the fight. Kind of a tough round to describe but I think Abregu actually got the better shots in, so I’m giving him the round.

If Monte Barrett actually beats David Tua
That might be the biggest upset since, oh, who even knows when. I’m shocked he’s still on his feet in the 8th round, and at this point Tua is barely throwing punches. At least based on what I’m reading.
