Bradley-Rios, is one of the most underated fights of the year!

i cant even begin to think what a great fight this is going to be. Truly one of th best fights of the year in a hot division. My keys to victory are as follows:

Bradley: has to keep Rios Guessing, and that means switching from boxer to brawler at times, keep Rios at the end of the Jab and throw quick combos while giving Rios angles and always having Rios reset. if he does so and sticks to a gameplan he should win.

Rios: He has to put pressure on Bradley and establish that he is the bigger man naturally. If he is succesful at applying effective pressure on Bradley i expect Bradley to fight fire with fire and have to slug it out. If this happens Rios' chances go up, but it comes down to Rios being effective at pulling Bradley out of his gameplan.

Rios' only chance imo is to make this a fire fight where i feel his chin is better then Bradley's, anything less results in a Bradley decision.

Thoughts?

 

Me neither:conf definately one of the best fights of the year!

 

I hope people dont just think of this fight as Manny's leftovers, Both these fighters are trying to make their own legacy and people have to understand that. Bradley and Rios are 2 of the best the division has to offer at this time and i think the winner sets themselves up for the number 2-3 guy in the division. we'll see, but im definately looking foward to this fight!:huh

 

Bradley by ugly decision.

 

You may be right. Bradley might have to go that route to pull off a victory. Thanks for voting.

 

unfortunately, a man of manny's power can effect a great fight such as this one. :-( And i mean his fans!!!:verysad

 

This is not underrated mate.

Bradley is and has always been a level ahead of Rios and both seem past their prime form now too.

Bradley by decision and it should be easy too.

 

Rios is and has always been f*ckin garbage. Period.

 

we'll see. There has been too many upsets in fights of this calbar to suggest an easy win. i think Bradleys' performance against Pac has clouded the judgement of fans.. We'll see in 1 week!

 

****, 9-5. we got a fight next week fellas!!

 

9-5... "Love Has never been so good':mj

 

This is how I see it as well. Although as the OP said, if Bradley can be drawn into a full out brawl, it gives Rios a better chance. Another caveat would be if Bradley's decline has continued. If so, this could be the kind of fight that serves highlights that.
