Could Rios pull a Mattheyesse on Tim Bradley

Possible Rios is a bit a punching bag himself, if Bradley looks good on D and Rios thinks he can take them and win later maybe. Matteyesse biggest problem was always that he let guys off the hook, he would have them in trouble and let them get back to it and start another fight, instead of finishing it. he had zab & devon in position and let them off the hook, then they survived made him miss and got a card, still Matteyesse fault, he had name fighters in big trouble and let them off the hook and it cost him, last night somebody banked on that aspect of his fight game and won big. Rios is a name with no real huge wins or spectacular performances to justify him being the name he is, Bradley could beat the **** out of him truth be told, if he is allowed to headbutt in an action fight he for surely gets him out of there via tko or stoppage.

No way. PAC beat rios up for 12 rounds and he kept going. Can't say Lucas would do the same For the sake of curiosity, what was Broner's fight night weight? http://media.giphy.com/media/eJR6mZL7kJkHe/giphy.gif

I really think Rios is underestimating Bradley's POP..................Could Bradley drop rios and make him quit? I don't think Rios will be broken by Bradley, unless he applies that bald head a few times too many. Then maybe ref stops it on cuts.

I really think Rios is underestimating Bradley's POP..................Could Bradley drop rios and make him quit? If Bradley stays calm and picks his spots while working behind the jab, he could. Especially if he works the body early to slow Rios down and get him to drop his hands, I think he could do a number on him but his main issue is controlling his anger and maintaining his composure.

i cant picture any scenario in my head with rios quitting

Lol, happens to the best of us. lol yeah I fcked up even the title response , dont know what I was thinking just read it all wrong .

Nothing is guaranteed in boxing but I wouldn't put money on Bradley making Rios quit. He's still probably going to win but by wide decision imo

No cause the problem with Lucas was that he made a conscious decision not to get up, he could have but decided his health was more important. Rios wont care about his health in their, he will get up. That is the difference IMO. So can Bradley surprise Rios with his pop, yeah of COURSE! but will we see an quitting type of stoppage from Rios I highly highly doubt it.

Bradley himself said he can't knock Rios out. There is nothing for Rios to underestimate because Bradley is not a hard puncher and he doesn't hit hard enough to drop Rios. Rios is a very game fighter and nothing in his history indicates that he would ever quit. Bradley will probably outbox Rios and win the fight but he won't knock Rios down or make him quit.

No , Bradley is a class fighter way too much ability for Rios , if Tim boxes it will be a shutout . Did you read the actual thread?

Nah. Bradley is good on the inside and can box, Rios can't box outside but he is good inside. If bradley stays smart he can make it easy. I hope he doesn't get dragged into a brawl. Rios was interesting in Alvarado 3; he was much better defensive wise; granted Mike was on crack. Slipping, picking his shots, lateral movement much better.

Idk man. Who knows what's going on in that super dome Bradley head anymore?

Nah. Highly, highly doubt it. You could shoot Rios in the face with a 12 gauge and he'd still keep coming forward.

That head is a dangerous weapon so who knows~
