Arum: Rios could face Bradley or Provodnikov, even Alvarado next

[Heavyfist]

Bradley Rios is a mismatch. I think it would be boring, but Rios Provod, is a no brainer, imo.

Bradley vs Dan Ion
(Winner could get a shot at Porter/Brook winner)

Rios vs Provod


Alvarado vs Chavez

Would prefer Ruslan but I think it might be Alvarado. Tim's not fighting rios, he thinks he's too good to take that fight.

rios is an actrion fighter.

i want him matched accordingly. pay him well, get him on TV, and match him against aggressors.

provodnikov, and even alvarado 3 are amazing fights. make them.

It'll be boring cuz Tim would run or hold or both all night and win a boring decision

bradley really doesn't run, at least not like lara. when lara backs up, he uses the whole freaking ring. bradley usually steps to the side. he boxes from the center of the ring when eh's not hurt, and fights off of the ropes like a wildman when he is.


the issue is that his boxing skills wouldn't allow rios to land and get into the fight, not that bradley is a runner.


with bradley, we could always hope that rios catches him with something ******, and that it turns into a great fight, but i agree with you that it probably wouldn't be close or overly compelling.

Nah Tim won't run like Lara, he's just not gonna fight Rios the way we would like so I say do the Ruslan fight. That's what I'm basically trying to say. Tim's kinda boring aside from the Ruslan fight. And he isn't going to slug with Rios so it won't be a good fight. Can't blame him, I'm just saying what I think would happen. Only chance that fight gets good us if Rios hurts Tim but I don't think that happens.

If Rios keeps this up he'll be drinking through a straw when his career's over. I'm beginning to think Arum hates him.

Rios against Prov is fine. Bradley no.

I'm tired of Top Rank's ****ty stable of fighters. Make some fights with Golden Boy please. Bradley should be fighting Porter, Thurman, Garcia, Matthysse, etc.
