Tim Bradley vs. Brandon Rios.

He is cool, he was never articulate to begin with.

 

Apparently Adelaide Byrd has been selected to judge the fight. So there, we are having a ridiculous split decision.

I suspect this chick possesses some very important people's ***tapes she's threatening to release. I can't see how otherwise she can keep judging big fights.

 

Well her scorecard is already filled out; 120 for Bradley and 108 for Rios.

 

Recycled fight, but could be good. Bradley by UD.

 

Looking forward to this fight. Bradley should win if he boxes clever but he is prone to getting involved in a brawl and if that happens Rios has a chance.

 

So if Rios wins you won't give him credit? People just don't know style makes fight Bradley loves going into wars and this will be his downfall aginst Rios this fight might be a repeat of Bradley vs Provo but Rios will get the job done due to his body attack something Provo fail to due.

 

Personally, I think this fight is a lose/lose situation for Bradley. It's unfortunate for him that he is a WW at Top Rank, because since Pac II he has been overlooked for the big money glamour fights that he would stack up well in (Garcia, Khan, Brook, Porter, Thurman - even Mayweather), in favour of fighting gruelling battles for lower prestige against guys that he won't necessarily get the credit for beating (Provo, Chaves, and now Rios).

I think this is a real tough one for him - Rios is huge and will just keep on coming at him. He also has an iron chin and I don't think Tim has anything like the sting to keep him off him. Unless Tim utilises the excellent upper body movement from the Marquez fight, I see Rios grinding Tim down and eventually putting a hurting on him.

It's a very intriguing fight, and credit for Tim for always being willing to take these people on - but man, he should've been getting some better matchmaking than this in the WW division. I would favour him over most of the names I mentioned above.

 

I got Bradley in a clear mildly entertaining decision, Tim has to be badly faded to lose this imo. Rios really lost his last fight at 135 vs Abril, since then the only Legitimate win he has is vs Alvarado which isn't saying much.
