Who Wins: Brandon Rios vs. Timothy Bradley at 147 Lbs.

Rios gets schooled unless he lands something big and Bradley will give him openings. Hell in a nutshell that's the fight. I could see Rios landing something big and Bradley running the rest of the fight and winning a controversial decision. Other than that Rios gets embarrassed and loses a WIDEEEEEE decision.

Easy fight for Bradley.

I will root for rios but tim will embarass him

this fight is the next best thing for bradley who is in desperate need of attention. arum might just make it if bradley is able to pull a miracle ko win in his next bout

rios has a good chin and enough power to keep a relatively impotent offensive fighter in bradley from taking it to him and breaking him down. bradley will box for points. he'll train to box for points. bradley in a UD. i think he'd use his boxing skills and he'd give rios a lesson. i can see bradley stopping rios with body shots. have you see how soft that kids midsection looks. has anybody ever got at rios marshmallow body **** headhunting

I really like Rios,but he does not stand a chance against Bradley..The skill level gap is to wide..

Bradley doesn't have the defense or boxing ability of Abril or even Alvarado Rios isn't Mexican You are such a ****ing troll man.

Bradley is at least borderline-elite, in my view. it seems many people are reluctant to acknowledge how good he is and want to see him defeated, but he's going to be very tough to beat if he maintains the drive he carried in his career pre-Pacquiao. I think he will now he has to prove himself all over again i actually like bradley still seems people hate him which is probably what arum wanted. hate probably brings more viewers then fans imo

bradley would box circles around him lets not forget as bad as the decision was that bradley boxed on 2 bad feet pretty dam good. ya you can say it was from running and it probably was but if he would stayed healthy thru the fight as fare as feet it would been way closer. i think the styles would make a good fight tho i just dont see rios winning more then 3 out of 12 rounds

Bradley picks Rios to pieces and destroys him over 12 rounds. Anyone who thinks Rios has any meaningful chance is SADLY mistaken. this^^^^^^^^^ Bam is sooooooooo tailormade for Timmy imo

Bradley would win. Can't see it any other way.

bradley must be kicking himself in the gut right about now, he turned down big money fights against guerrero, khan etc. and took a fight against a nobody for chump change, funny shit

maybe, if bradley miraculously gained power overnight, then yeah, could happen. bradley was never a boxer, his first time boxing on the back foot was against pacquiao Bradley boxes on the back foot often. He did it almost the entire fight against Peterson, very effectively.

LMAO.....come on man, you can't be serious. Average Abril was working Rios over and so was Alvarado who is a straight forward brawler. Bradley beats Rios on the inside and outside, he won't land more than 20 punches on Tim the entire fight. Bradley doesn't have the defense or boxing ability of Abril or even Alvarado I know you are only saying that cause Rios is a mexican fighter and you're all for them, which is cool, just so long as you know what would actually happen, which I think you do. Rios isn't Mexican

Alvarado was boxing Rios to smithereens. Mikey lost because he was hit with huge bombs on the inside and he tried to go toe-to-toe in a war with Rios, when he didn't have to. Bradley wouldn't put himself into a war and has the backwards movement (as displayed in the Pacquiao fight) to fight on the run. He'd easily box Rios to a decision.

Bradley in a one sided fashion. Rios' style benefits Bradley all the way. I don't want this fight to happen, though. I like Rios and want to see him in there with guys that want to bang it out :boxing:

Bradley wins every minute of every round. An absolute shut out & I don't particularly even give Rios a punchers chance. I support this viewpoint and all the rest like it. Rios is terribly overrated on this forum. Bradley by ud, and probably without dropping a single round.

Bradley. IMO it would be a frustrating night for Rios.

this is a tough fight to call. rios might actually have a hard time against bradley. bradley has monster stamina but doesn't have enough power to really make much damage. however, bradley can be very effective if he boxes on the outside all night. but if rios can consistently pressure and force bradley to make it an inside fight, i think rios wins by late stoppage. i vote rios. your thoughts? Might have a hard time? I'd bet any money that Bradley would be as much as a 3 to 1 favorite on fight night, especially since Rios has never fought at 147 and has only had one fight at 140. I'm a massive Rios fan but because Bradley is so cagey and crafty, i wouldn't wanna see him fight Tim at any weight as he'd most likely lose.
