    Something Fishy About Bradley vs Vargas...

    Call me paranoid but something seems off about this matchup to me, the way Bradley has been getting matched up in general is off. Chaves is a tough customer not signed to TR, that wasn't a fight that had to happen and Bob none the less put it together. When it went to the scorecards most believe Bradley won aaaaaand ... a draw??? Now he's getting matched up against Vargas, a kid who has seen some decisions go his way that maybe shouldn't have, a kid who doesn't have much of a name but could with a win over a guy like Bradley mostly because of his heritage. Idk I was thinking about putting a few bucks on Bradley, I haven't even checked the line, but something just feels "off" ... It's the exact kind of fight that even if Bradley gets robbed Vargas gets the exposure he needs. Or maybe Bradley is thinking about jumping ship and heading over to PBC?

    Feel free to bump this to call me an idiot if the fight goes off without a hitch ...

    Bradley is never leaving top rank


    And Bradley is the A side in this fight

    Top rank roster limited- not much to choose from

    Vargas struggling to make 140

    I don't see anything off about this fight

          I have no doubt the cards could lean towards Vargas but the kid is a chump. He's not beating Bradley and even if Bradley got robbed, Arum has given him a great career financially.

            I get where you're coming from. I get the feeling Bob is willing to sacrifice Bradley and Pac slowly in favor of the new wave generation of fighters. And what I mean by slowly is that he'll have them suffer draws or even a loss then put it on the judges to keep the outcomes with enough of an asterisk so their careers stay relevant and intriguing.

                bradley has a tendency to make things harder to himself, he can easily outbox this guy and that guy, but at some point you know he will exchange, and i think tonight he is gonna do it, but still, he should beat vargas comfortably.

                  That's what I'm feeling too... Idk like I said I might be paranoid. At a little better than 3-1 I feel like putting some money on Vargas but I've never bet against Bradley and I'd hate to watch a fight and openly hope the dude gets robbed or even worse bet against him and if he's getting his ass kicked know that he's nowhere near who Timmy was... Vargas couldn't hold his jock pre-prov

                    I think Vargas will win on the cards here, then Fight Marquez, win that the same way, then fight Pacquiao in his comeback trail and lose.
