    Get a hold of yourself Tazo, its not so hard for a good fighter to look spectacular against a one dimensional fighter like Rios who at his best was no more an a B level fighter.
    These days Rios is nothing more than C level on his best night.
    Then you add to that the rumors that he had trouble making weight and you get what we saw tonight.

    Balanced and decisive? Against Rios Tazo! :lol:

    Have to take into account that it was against Rios.
    I did like what Atlas had to say to Bradley in the corner, although Bradley didn't stick to the plan as Atlas outlined.

    I liked Atlas' advice after the 1st round to Bradley when he said, "don't throw a 4 shot combination, throw 2's and 3's and get out."
    This is sound advice when you're facing a puncher like Rios, but its something that hard for a fighter like Bradley to do especially against a fighter like Rios that's so easy to hit.

    Yes. Bradley looked good against a guy who blocks all punches with his face, even Ruslan has got better defence!

    For real people are just talking about Rios being shot but Bradley punches were straighter, he turned them better than usual and his balance looked improved. He made some sweet side steps inspired by Loma.

    What an added bonus with the KO. Was not expecting that. I just wanted to see how Bradley and Atlas worked together. I was just as interested with the interactions between rounds as I was for the fight. Now with that out of the way I'd like to see Bradley go after some bigger fish in the weight class. Not really interested in seeing a trilogy with Pac though.

    Bradley back on in his in/out is good for
    Boxing. If he can have a good consistent body attack on top of that its a wrap.

    Great fight for Bradley. Reminds me of cotto's revived career. Wondering if when the y both step up wether it will be their pick of opponents or their skills this made them look so good.

    The combo has obviously worked for Tim, but lets be honest, this isn't the best fighting the best.
