Bob Arum: That's The Best Bradley That I've Ever Seen
Timothy Bradley won a fight he needed badly Saturday night, stopping Brandon Rios in the ninth round to stake his claim for a title in a welterweight division that is wide open following Floyd Mayweather Jr’s retirement. Bradley (33-1-1) dominated from the opening bell against a sluggish Rios (33-3-1), using his speed and superior boxing skills to win round after round before suddenly dropping Rios with a left hook to the body in the ninth round. Rios got up at the count of eight but offered no resistance to Bradley when the fight resumed and quickly went down under another flurry of punches at 2:49 of the round.

Tim Bradley Storms His Way To a Knockout of Rios
By Francisco Salazar - LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Before Timothy Bradley and Brandon Rios entered the ring on Saturday night, what would have been difficult to accept as an outcome: Timothy Bradley scoring a knockout victory or Brandon Rios losing by knockout? Each was shocking in its own right. Rios dropped to the canvas twice at the hands of Timothy Bradley, producing a ninth round technical knockout win before 5,106 at the Thomas & Mack Center. The last time Rios was on the canvas twice was in January of 2006 at the hands of Joel Ortega. Rios would eventually get the knockout win later in the fight, but it says something about Rios' resiliency when he remained upright while fighting heavy-handed Manny Pacquiao and Mike Alvarado.

Timothy Bradley-Brandon Rios: Pre-Fight Report Card
It’s a southern California showdown in Las Vegas and a chance for two men to carve where they are in absence of another. With the retirement of Floyd Mayweather still a thing (we’ll see how long that lasts), 147 lbs. is looking for a new leader. This clash won’t give it one. What we will get is an assessment of where both might fall in the new pecking order. Boxing, especially in this division, remains essentially in a state of parallel leagues. The Bradley-Rios winner, as long as they are with Top Rank, isn’t going to be a factor on the PBC side of the equation with the likes of Danny Garcia, Keith Thurman, and Shawn Porter. UK-based IBF titlist Kell Brook seems the lone fighter able to play on both sides of the fence. Rios-Brook was already almost made. If Bradley wins, there is the possibility of a third fight with Manny Pacquiao.

Bradley vs. Rios: BoxingScene.com Staff Predictions
Timothy Bradley Jr. (32-1-1, 12 KOs), from Palm Springs, Cal., takes on hard-hitting Brandon Rios (33-2-1, 23 KOs) of Oxnard, Cal., in a scheduled 12-round welterweight championship contest. Bradley weighed in at 146-pounds, and Rios - who looked a little drained - stripped down completely and came in at 147.2-pounds, but dropped the weight shortly after releasing his pre-fight lunch. One of the sport’s most accomplished pros, Bradley, 32, has earned acclaim for his willingness to take on any challenge. His sterling record includes two Manny Pacquiao fights and notable wars with Juan Manuel Marquez and Ruslan Provodnikov. Bradley began his 2015 season with a victory over Jessie Vargas in June, when he claimed a 147-pound title belt. He returns to Las Vegas with veteran Teddy Atlas as his new trainer. Brandon Rios, 29, trains with Robert Garcia in the boxing hotbed of Oxnard, Cal., and looks to secure a second world title in as many weight divisions. He became one of the top attractions in the 140-pound weight class by brawling and slugging his way to signature wins, including two over archrival Mike Alvarado. The contrasting styles of Bradley and Rios have experts and fans anticipating an all-action affair.
