This Saturday at the Silverdome, Michigan we will witness the eagerly awaited Light-Welterweight unification bout between Timothy Bradley (26-0, 11 KO’s) and Devon Alexander (21-0, 13 KO’s) . Both WBC and WBO titles will be on the line to help decide who is the best 140 lb in the world. Awaiting the winner is WBA champion Amir Khan (24-1, 17 KO’s). Recently out-boxing hard hitting Argentine Marcos Maidana (29-2, 27 KO’s), he looks set to fight the winner of this bout in the later part of 2011. Devon Alexander looked good in stopping tough Colombian Juan Urango (22-3, 17 KO’s) with a beautifully timed uppercut but failed to impress in handling former champion Andreas Kotelnik (31-4, 13 KO’s) in his last outing. On the other hand Timothy Bradley outclassed previously unbeaten Lamont Peterson (28-1-1, 14 KO’s) with a good display of technical boxing. Bradley only managed one fight in 2010 against welterweight Luis Carlos Abregu (29-1, 23 KO’s) after a potential bout with Marcos Maidana was postponed due to a back injury. Credit needs to be given to both men in a time where many fighters and promoters will be over protective of there ’0′. Both will try to lay claim as being number 1 in the division.
