Official Timothy Bradley vs Jessie Vargas fight discussion thread

[John Barron]

heard vargas is also fighting another opponent in one of the undercards before he fights bradley in the main event.

lol Bradley has nothing for the silky slick Jessie "Too Slick" Vargas.

In all seriousness, Vargas wins by edging out one round since this is supposedly some David vs Goliath type mismatch.

bradley has to be seriously shot for that to happen. vargas is hot garbage, he's been going life and death with C and D level opponents his whole career.

Nope, Vargas will be the first to ko Bradley, and it will be a brutal, one-shot knockout, just like the one I almost got right for Wilder-Molina.

(Don't think its that one-sided but whatever. )

People are giving Vargas a shot because Bradley is flat-out overrated. People go on as if he is this slick fighter with great head movement, ring I.Q and counterpunching ability the reality is he is a wildman, a total overachiever who can't stick to a gameplan (b-b-but Marquez doe).
Honestly they talk as if the guy has elite skills.

He is like a little toy you wind up and it runs forward windmilling its little baby-fists.

Its not they think Vargas is great just they know that Bradley isn't anywhere near as good as advertised. The only ones who think so are Manny fans trying to hype the win he has over him.

The fact the fight with Chaves was even close tells you he really isn't that good. True world class fighters should not be struggling with guys like that regardless of styles, he sucks.
He probably should beat Vargas's ordinary ass without much difficulty but its Bradley so he is bound to make it much closer than needed and leave it in the judges hands.

^ he clearly beat chavez doe ?

[Rip Chudd]

Exactly.

Dude he is(and I hate saying this about fighters) garbage. I guess people need to get their troll on by picking Vargas. I'm trying to but can't think of a less impressive champion i've seen in awhile.

[BOXEO _]

Don't know much about Jessie Vargas, looking forward to this fight. I like Bradley he's a geezer. What ethnicity is Vargas?!

He was born in LA but he fought for the Mexican amateur team so I guess he's Mexican-American.
