Timmy beats Rios?

[BattleAxePurist]

Timmy went life and death seriously with a fighter who has 1/3 the stamina and punch output Rios has, he would stop Timmy. Savagely

Provodnikov gassed after 2 rounds and fought sparatically and still was able to damage him,Rios is relentless , Bradley doesn't have the legs to take sustained punishment that Rios would inflict,

[intoccabile]

The difference is Rios wouldn't wait to get set to throw. He'd match bradleys punch output.

Bradley has that meldrick taylor in him, he should be boxing.. but he can't resist a fight. He's a dog.

He'd be suckered in often, I like Rios chances. But, rios is still at 140 folks. The real question is - what happens when Maidana starts knocking on Bradleys door? How does that fight go.

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.

LOL

Better at what? He threw punches in spots and blew his load in 2 rounds. No way in hell.

Way to NOT give Tim any credit for working P-Kov's body to keep them hands at home.

Why discuss the fight when there's almost no chance that it will happen?

Rus stopped being consistent long before the body shots started - that dude blew his wad in 2.

I ask because Maidana is actually a welterweight now, Rios is not, and Maidana is looking for a title shot. Granted, I realize he signed a lengthy fight deal with GBP, I'm almost certain he will land the Broner/Malignaggi winner (assuming broner stays at 47 after winning) and look to unify, or something of that nature.

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.

That title would belong to timmy bradley. Nobody has rios P4P, but some people out there actually have the nerve to rank bradley in the top 5 P4P , A C+ ESPN club fighter just flipped bradleys world upside down and dragged him through hell tonight.

Really, apparently he tuned away for the subsequent rounds after 1-2 where Provo threw about 20 punches a round

There is no denying Rios output is far superior
