    I always pictured a sweaty, oiled up dancer like "Magic Mike" in that male stripper movie, shaking his hips and flexing his muscles in a g string

    I have better abs than Bradley. Like a washboard. Just saying.

    I'm liking the breakdown, but the clips interspersed are reminding me how much fun Rios fights can be to watch, and it's making me want to go watch some of his early work.

    Okay, finally finished the video. Nice insights but I don't think the fight will be stopped. UD Bradley is right, but Rios has never been stopped on cuts before, so I just don't see it happening now. Plus, I think you are exaggerating how messed up his skin will get. It's not like he's Arturo Gatti or Jorge Linares.

    True, no precedent for it, but think of how much his face normally pulps up just from the punches he receives (and while Bradley doesn't typically knock people out he does mark opponents up) and then add the fact that he and Bradley make for a petri dish of cranial impact.

    What's the most times Rios has gotten butted in a fight before? Chaves, probably? That'll easily be surpassed tomorrow.

    You mean the OP says borked? That's probably because you're on a smartphone or another device that doesn't show YouTube embeds.

    Finally someone answered this question. And a fitting one to answer, as well. God, I've been asking about this for a year. :*(

    IB,

    You look Armenian. Is that your ethnicity?
