    "I told you to box this guy, told you to f****ing box this guy." Bradley is lunatic but I still think he has enough left to get the nod.

    I think I misinterpreted that when you said "before the fight is stopped". So you're predicting a likely Bradley UD. That's fair. The expected result.

    A unanimous TECHNICAL decision. :good

    Fight stopped due to facial damage on Rios from "accidental" butts.

    Tim just has to box. No need for a dumb 30 minute video.

    Bradley going to SCHOOL this BUM

    That's right I used the B word

    Rios will just be a reminder to the Haymon & Hearn butt squad that Timothy is actually the #1 fighter at 147. Not two time Thurman or half a brownie brook.

    If Bradley has any struggles in this fight then my hope for 147 is all but lost for the next year or so.

    Pretty good IB, But doesn't Rios like to throw that leaping left uppercut, along with the 2-1 combo? Thats going to be very effective against Bradley when hes on the move.

    Clueless would be someone who doesnt know the fundamentals which clearly Brandon does plus some. His style is to pressure and break you down round by round, while taking some shots to get in. Im banking on Bradley maybe boxing and sticking to a gameplan for 3-4 rounds, then he gets hit with a big shot and the gameplan goes out the window, a firefight breaks out, and Rios does something no one thinks he can, and thats stop Bradley late.

    I have the fight going the exact same way except the ending. I think after Bradley gets suckered into a punch up, it will be a pick 'em fight which will be exciting and a pleasure to watch. Winner?? The fans.

    Yeah but that ouch up can only last for so long (even though I don't see Rios stopping Bradley, even if he drops him...and definitely not Bradley knocking out Rios, even if he connects on his 1-in-every-10-or-20 surprisingly hard power shots on the eminently available chin of Rios, whom Alvarado hurt multiple times in the 2nd fight) given how likely their styles make repeated head clashes. Human flesh has its limits and Rios' face is going to get rammed a number of times by the midway point; I can't see it not becoming an issue.

    Then it becomes a game of inches. Bradley early, Rios coming on after several rounds...but prior to Bradley catching his 2nd wind and banking more rounds? Or will he already have banked enough when Rios' grill starts to melt off?

    I'll tell you what... If you correctly predict a fight going to the fairly rare technical decision before the fact you are a damned legend!!
