    Not Tim Bradley

    but Bradley Skeet

      Well, he isn't gonna say: I'm a punching bag with arms, a washed up LWW and Brook will box circles around me for a possible stoppage.

        I think Brook will have a tough time against Rios. When has a fighter had an easy time with Rios? Manny beat him dominantly but still had to stay on his bike and work extremely hard. Brook does not have quick feet and doesn't like in-fighting. I think Rios equates to a difficult night for Brook stylistically, you have to factor in that Robert Garcia is a proven trainer and tactician at the highest level, he will have Rios in with a good game plan.

        I actually like this fight a lot, people are getting ahead of themselves with Brook because of the Porter result, but I still think he is relatively green at championship level, he needs to see different styles and Rios gives him a chance to prove himself, he hasn't really faced a tough iron chinned Mexican who really knows what he is doing on the inside. If he comes through this in good style it is another string to his bow. His last two fights have been disappointing to say the least, but it also allowed him to build profile and showcase him as a champion, Rios is a good step up, and whilst probably not quite to the level of Porter, it is definitely a higher level than anything he had before and after Porter.

            Rios has only scored 2 KO's in his last 6 fights. And both of them were against Alvarado. Those 2 fights a-side, it's been a while since i remember him even hurting anyone.

                You never know, Rios was supposed to lose to Anthony Peterson. Anyway I highly doubt it, I think Brook outboxes him relatively comfortably however Chino is another story.

                      Why is everyone so high on Chaves? He's got to be the dirtiest fighter out there right now.
