Bradley vs. Abregu...Good matchmaking or trap fight?

For an up and coming fighter it is very important to have a good match-maker, but this type of fight can make or break one, because it's a winnable fight for Bradley, but it has trap fight written all over it. Abregu presents everything that would be attractive to Bradley as a beatable opponent, (always open for the left-hook, can be hurt rather easily at times); yet he also encompasses everything that can make for a long night for Bradley as well (known to come on MUCH stronger after he gets up off the canvas, shows great resolve when faced with adversity). When you look at all of Abregu's challenges in the ring of the past, they all came from men who stood at least 5-9, with good range.

Timothy Bradley has a decent work rate, but being a first time welterweight at 5'6" with a 69inch reach, and a subpar KO ratio of 42%, I'm not sold on the notion that he has anything that will stop Abregu from landing his powershots. Abregu is a very good boxer, complete with good foot movement and a jab that he uses quite well. Bradley's pressure could result in a decision victory for him, but if the light punching Lamont Peterson was able to hurt Bradley to the body, Abregu's power will definitely prevent Bradley from swarming too much. Bradley has also been open for combination attacks at times. The telling moment will be when Abregu lands that patented left jab, followed by that jarring right cross. If it lands flush, Bradley will be hurt, and this would be the first time he finds himself in that position against a closer. The move to 147 IMO was to eventually setup a Mayweather or Pacquiao showdown. This is the type of fight that will either prove him to be on the path to such greatness, or it could be the type of fight that never allows him to get there...
