ESPN : Bradley-Rios/Quigg-Donaire in the works.

Good fights.

 

Rios shamelessly ducked The Special One™

 

If Quigg destroys Donaire does that make him a beast or will the win be diluted like people do for Nichols Walters?

 

Bradley-Rios is a meaningless fight. I guess Bradley will just fight no-hopers from Top Rank's stable forever while perpetually being classified as a top 3 welter and top 10 P4P fighter for things he did years ago.

Donaire-Quigg is a good crossroads fight though.

 

I think donaire beats quigg imo. And bradley outboxes the **** outta slow ass rios.

 

Rios by KO

 

If they're going to continue the TR 140/147 circle jerk, then at least they can give us Rios-Provo

 

Dude, how can you watch so much boxing and then make these awful picks?

There's no way Rios beats Bradley, and Donaire hasn't looked that great in his recent bouts. Donaire vs Quigg is a pick 'em fight between a once great veteran and a young up and comer. The question to be determined in the bout is whether Donaire still has anything left, a little of that old magic and drive he once had.

Then the tale of the tape doesn't really favor Donaire either. Quigg is 2 1/2 inches taller than Donaire. That's an inch more than Nicholas Walters. Most of the guys Donaire made his reputation beating were 5'5", 5'4", 5'3", etc. I'd like to see what kind of rehydration weights Quigg walks into the ring at. I'm a big Donaire fan, and I'll be rooting for him to win, but I'm not confident Donaire knocks Quigg out.

 

To take a much tougher fight....that is not much of a duck.

 

Rios to slow for Bradley!!! BUT, Bradley always seems to get drug into a fire fight.. So??

 

add viloria against chocolatte and i would buy it if it goes on ppv.

any of these fights could be candidates for fight of the year.

 

Bradley comfortable UD, but he'll make it tougher than it needs to be and high volume brawlers match up better with Bradley than equally skilled boxers do with the nature of Bradley lacking defensive movements and electing to fight with silly intensity in silly spots (see Provodnikov).

Donaire/Quigg will be a great one. I am a Donaire fan so I realize that many who are not view his last couple years probably slightly differently than I do as far as just how much his skill erosion goes. I view it as more or less a 50/50 fight but I'll lean toward Donaire.
