    Anthony has a killer jab, I like her to take Rigondeux to the limit, possible late round stoppage.

    Im confused as to how the hell could Brandon Rios skyrocket Tim Bradley into a PPV star, Tim is probably gonna move up to welter and rios is at lightweight, Rios has better power but thats the only thing he would have over Tim who is imo physically stronger...

    With bradley's speed experience, aggression and good defense, I would expect tim to finally get him a tko, all Rios know how to do is stay in the pocket and throw power punches, it makes for great fights but he want get far with that alone...

    I bet Rios would *take* Bradley's dome off.

    Well Rios has just recently become champion. And I think he can still pocket some change from fans south of the border. He's got a good thing going on, no reason to fix something if it isn't broken.

    That's the name of the game.

    Rios would have no respect and break Tims chin like a pinata.

    Bradleys head is so big no way Rios doesn't crack that dome eventually lol It would be a great fight if Rios was offered the fight and tha money was good I know he would take the fight right now. It would be his biggest payday probably on HBO, and a chance to Knock off the #1 or #2 140 pounder. A very winnable fight for Rios

    Rios sure knows how to cut the ring real quick and he has power in both hands and he is in no way afraid of getting hit I don't see him losing for a while.

    I would be disappointed as hell if Bradley tried to cause a stir to get a fight with Pac or Mayweather. The guy ducked Khan, had a boring fight with Alexander and has had way too many suspect head butts to be considered as a possible opponent. I used to really like Tim but he's got a lot more proving to do before he gets in the same ring with any of these top level guys.

    Tim's not gambling ****, at least not in the immediate future. He's got a Pac fight all but guaranteed either directly after Pac-Marquez, or at worst, after Pac-Mayweather. Arum didn't sign Bradley to put him in a fight that could disrupt that in the meantime. Bradley's 0 needs to remain intact for that fight, even if that means he won't face a serious test to preserve it. I'm not a fan of the decision, but that's just how Arum's planning it and I don't blame Bradley for taking the payday.

    Nobody blames Bradley for this. I'm sure he is the hardest working boxer in the whole sport. The guy is jacked beyond belief and is a .... VEGETARIAN ack. That's dedication and it paid off. Every boxer works for that moment when he can face the best on the grand stage. I'm happy for him, he works like a horse.

    Looks like HBO is making this fight happen and the winner could face Pac
