People forget that Bradley beat the crap out of Lamont Peterson, who fought a Rios-style fight and got completely shut out
Rios isn't getting knocked down or stunned like Peterson did... Rios does have more power than Peterson, and that could make a difference
But Rios is also slower, shorter, and has much worse defense
Nobody...beats Bradley at 140-147 other then Mayweather (and I think he gives Mayweather some problems), I even think Bradley beats Pacquiao in a rematch (A LEGIT WIN)
People can hold that sh1t decision against him for the rest of his career but that is one tough little dude, doesn't do anything "GREAT" but does everything very good which makes him so hard to deal with IMO
Rios wins maybe 2 Rounds, Bradley too slippery and he ducks underneath punches so well, I think Rios struggles trying to land clean while Bradley out-works him every round and wear him down with Body Shots
Unless Bradley himself gives a round or two away I don't see him winning any, no offense bam bam I like you.
Bradley likes to brawl too much to say Rios doesn't win any.
I think it would be super competitive for the first few rounds then the speed and body shots by Bradley would bust Rios up something bad. There is a reason Bam Bam talked a bunch of shmack about fighting anyone, then comes out of his neck and says he won't fight Bradley - he knows there is a good chance Timmy will blueprint his azz.
bradley would win the first 2 rounds and then rios would win the next couple of rounds. Then bradley would probably win the rest til the end. Not too easy though, rios on his ass the whole fight kind of like chavez on martinez with a possible ko by rios. Bradley is scrappy but not a great boxer
Abril's not a southpaw but he's longer than Bradley and possibly more skilled than him.
true...my bad...and yea, Abril's length was key....Rios can drag Bradley into a war imo...Bradley will not box as well as the Abril did imo
Abril had a nice reach advantage...southpaw as well....no doubt in my mind Bradley beats him..none!!!...but Bam will have some spots here and there due to Bradley's style...Bradley would stand and bang with him at some point...Bradley aint no chump...a prideful dude...I can see Bam dragging him in the trenches...only problem is, Bradley is built for that
