Timmy beats Rios?

[bojangles1987]

He hasn't fought too many guys with the power of Ruslan who are aggressive and able to get inside and do damage.

I absolutely do not believe it was a concious decision to stay inside. He was getting hit consistently, and badly hurt.

He then tried boxing, it was working, but again, he doesn't have the ability to keep boxing without it going inside.

He didn't intend on staying inside, certainly not after round 6. But he had no choice, at times.

He had success throwing a few shots, making Ruslan miss, and circling again. But then he would come out, throw his head in Ruslan's chest, and start brawling again. Or he would stay inside and throw five, six shots rather than just two or three. He's usually not that ******. There's no other way to describe how he fought, it was downright ****** at times.

But the people want ****** **** fights Bojangles. thats why they praise Rios vs Alvarado and Gatti vs Ward.

Yeah, he had success Boxing, he's a decent boxer with decent skills.

But like I said, he's always going to brawl, it's who he is, it's what he does.

I'd describe it as; "Typical Bradley".

But, once again, he did what he do to get the win.

I expect much more, based on his track record. He's better than what he showed last night. I don't know if it was the layoff, the weight, or just a bad night against a determined opponent, but that was a bad night for Tim Bradley.

I absolutely agree.

He fought Prodnikov's fight, I think it was to shut up the criticism about his being boring. Maybe he underestimated his opponent's power a bit.

That said, if Bradley fought the same way he fought Pacquiao,doubling up the jab, hitting and moving, he'd have won easily in my opinion.

A bad night for Bradley made it a great night for us all. Bradley knew this was gonna be a drag-out brawl. The 12lb rehydration, the Reyes gloves, the fact that he was training on power and punching technique. Bradley seems to have gotten what he wanted and more. If there was ever a Bradley fight with replay value, it's the one he had last night. I'm looking forward to watching it again.

So what happens if Bradley decides not to stand and trade?

After round 2 it wasn't a case of Bradley DECIDING to stand and trade, he was forced to. Prov was cutting off the ring and firing in beautiful counter rights. Each right hand rocked Tim's head back and he seemed dazed and staggered at the end of quite a few rounds.

Having said that, Bradley showed a great chin and good heart. He managed to move well when he could and through some solid body shots. I'm not sure how well that would work against the much bigger Rios, who also hits harder and won't spend half the fight napping.

I've changed my mind after Prov, I think Rios stops Bradley late. Round 10. You heard it here first!

Timmys punching technique did look more professional not as many flailing/slappy moments but he still can't crack a lick better body shooter than to the head

[DARKSEID]

absolutely not. Rios destroys him

what a surprise, you pick a non black fighter to beat the black fighter

[KnockUTheFukOut]

If Bradley fights like he did Provodnikov...HELL NO!

But if he box smart like he was doing in some of those middle rounds against Provodnikov then he gets a comfortable UD
