Brandon Rios is a punching bag who's been punch drunk for quite some time. He was due to getting knocked out eventually. Don't make that win out to be something bigger than it was- he beat up on a punch drunk, past his prime JWW. Brandon Rios is really nothing more than a gatekeeper. Him beating another punch drunk fighter in Alavarado doesn't make him a worthy contender in any shape or form. Considering Bradley didn't win more than 3 rounds in either of their first 2 fights and he's gotten rocked several times by JWW fighters since meeting Manny this actually seems like the perfect time for Bradley to get knocked out himself. I expect Manny to go guns a blazing and stop him inside 10 or 11 rounds. Tim tried to outbox him and it didn't work well for him. I have a feeling he might try to go for broke once Atlas gives him one of his corny anectodes between rounds. He'll stand in the pocket for too long and probably get put to sleep.
This. That said I think Pac held back against Rios and Algieri. If he wanted to he could've stopped either of them, but doing so wouldn't prove much.
Here comes the usual suspects trying to hype this mess.... Let's clarify: it's like seeing another Spider Man reboot...
