Think about it this way, very few guys in or around his division can out-fight Rios. However, he is simply not a good boxer, therefore a guy with a jab/speed/movement can give him issues. It won't be easy per-say, but it's a good Plan A against him.Comment

Rios is a you can run, but can't hide kind of fighter.
There is absolutely no doubt that Rios-Bradley would be on the inside often.
I think Bradley would use his Boxing and take some rounds, but I don't think he has the ability or skills to keep it outside.
It wil end up on the inside, and quite often, and I favour Rios there.
Been saying a while, I see it as a great fight, a close fight. Similar to tonights fight.Comment

Bradley outboxes him with ease.
Acosta was doing fine until he fought in the pocket and hes never had a very good chin. Acosta never was half the fighter Bradley is. I've always felt Acosta is extremely overrated based on a career best performance with Antillion. Between the two I don't think they've ever beaten anybody worth a damn have they?
Baring in mind Bradley got injured and coming off a year lay off. I also think Provodnikov is better than Rios.Comment

It's a fight Bradley can very well lose, and maybe this fight tonight could wind up damaging him in some way. Rios could also benefit from moving up to 147. It's one of the most entertaining fights that can be made at 140-147, and if Rios was smart, he'll jump at the opportunity when it's presented. Bradley could be ripe for the picking his next time out. He'll probably get paid well, it'll probably be the main event, and it could be another potential FOTY for him. Gets paid, gets a belt, gets more notoriety as a must-see action fighter.Rios is a you can run, but can't hide kind of fighter.

If Arum wants to take the title off Tim, then Rios should be the pawn that he uses to do it.Last edited by kiaba360; 03-17-2013, 01:05 AM.Comment

Rios is the most overrated fighter of this generation.
Apart from Avocado I think just about everyone hes ever fought has been stopped before.
Just a slow guy who follows you around and wears you down. Very limited and predictable but its still hard to deal with.
The beauty of boxing is sometimes a fighter can have virtually no tools and get far on just about nothing but sheer heart & determination.
I was impressed with Provodnikov's ability to cut the ring off and I do feel Bradley fought a silly fight and stood infront of him way too much but Rios isn't going to apply that sort of pressure and I have no doubt Bradleys not going to make the same mistake twice.Comment

IDK IronDan my man. Bradley has shown he has enough pop to make you keep your hands low and at home(while doin work on the inside). I think he can get the UD against BamBam.Rios is a you can run, but can't hide kind of fighter.

Tims infighting is very underrated IMHO.Comment

Ok so you say that acosta and antillon havent beaten anybody and then you go on to say you think provodnikov is better than rios (your opinion which is fine) but care to explain to me who the hell has provodnikov ever beaten thats worth a damn?Bradley outboxes him with ease.

Oh yeah, he'd land, he'd bite down and go to war.
That's why I'd lean on Tim, Tim would definitely outbox him when it's on the outside but I have little faith he keeps it there. While I think Rios will get the better on the inside, Bradley will hang.
It's a FOTY candidate.Comment
