Tim Bradley Needs To Gamble: Fight Brandon Rios

I'm not sure how you guys are so certain Bradley beats Rios. Brad doesn't have anywhere near the power to back Rios off and with his bigger frame I don't think Bradley has the tools to deal with the unrelenting pressure Rios would bring to him. I'm not saying Rios wins for sure but I definitely would go with him if I had to make a gun to head prediction. And this is coming from someone who absolutely despises Rios

 

Who do you have in Casey Anthony vs Rigondeux ?

 

We do need good fights indeed! But if Bradley refused a career-high payday I don't see him willing to take a gamble. I'm seeing it from his perspective which I don't get honestly. He ****ed up by refusing the fight and now he's got promoter and legal issues. Given the fact that he has no fan base and that he was involved into a bad scrap last time out he's even more ****ed. A fight against Rios would be good for him but Rios is not moving up right now so it won't happen anytime soon

 

very true

 

Rios doesn't exactly have defense. I remember Bradley knocking down a defensive clown named Junior Witter, Lamont Peterson, and Edner Cherry, and the last two aren't chumps neither.

 

But Bradley is come forward fighter. Rios could be the first guy to make the inside pretty ****in nasty for him. Considering that is his comfort zone it could be very interesting.

 

Bradley is also a well schooled fighter. He can counter too. I can't say the same for Rios. He is literally there to be hit, while Bradley has nice defensive skills.

 

Bradley vs rios doesn't make sense. Bradley clearly the better fighter.

 

Bradley is , but he needs a rugged opponent and an action opponent to up his fan base.

 

He got an gift against Kotelnik, boxed horrible against Tim, and also got an gift against Mattyhse. H to the ypejob

Mccloskey would probably whopped Devon

 

no reason for Rios to fight Bradley

 

Okay. But at the time? Everyone had it almost even, split down the middle. Hindsight is 20/20.

 

Rios should stay at 135 for a while then move up fight maidana at 140, bradley should finally fight khan.
i think bradley ud's rios 8-4/9-3 type.

 

No. They didn't. Especially after the Kotelnik debacle.

 

I agree, his window is closing and he needs the best fights he can get, I think Rios would beat him, but I would like to see it. I have nothing but respect for Tim, but he isn't going to bully Rios.
