As he embarks on his journey to face Brandon Rios on November 7th at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, Tim Bradley will be doing so with a new trainer - Teddy Atlas, best known nowadays for being the color commentator for ESPN. Atlas is a no-nonsense disciplinarian, which is just fine with 'the Desert Storm' who recently broke off his decade-long union with trainer Joel Diaz.
