        Bradley never makes it easy for himself in his big fights.. the dude has a heart of a warrior, and i guarentee you he will end up in the trenches with Rios... And that ups Rios' chances of winning... Great Fight!

            There are tonnes of fights I want to see at welter.

            I just never imagined that Rios would be involved in any of them.

            Big Bradley fan, but I see this as a true 50/50 fight, and I might even be leaning towards Rios a bit. His confidence is going to be back after dismantling Alvarado like he did. Yeah, that was probably a shell of the old Alvarado, but he still has to feel really good about that performance. His relentless pressure and Bradley's habit of getting drawn into exchanges make me lean this way.
            Far out really ?

                Why am I seeing this so differently to others ?

                Is Rios not a mid-level 140lb'er who got pushed to welter as a look-good opponent for Pacquiao..... and who is now involved in the in-house rinse/wash/repeat cycle that involve the very few class 140/147 lb'ers that Top Rank have left on their roster?

                If Rios is no longer a mid-level 140lb'er..... when did that change ?

                Fun fighter, no question..... I have always liked Rios..... but I stop there.

                He is Provo 2.0..... and that is the obvious fight to make.

                Provo is actually Rios 2.0

                Die slowly Arum, but do it soon.

                  Berto, for Mayweather > Rios, for Bradley.

                  And that is saying something.

                  There are 2 classes between Bradley and Rios.

                    I thought I was the only one. Rios's last non-Mike Alvarado win was Chaves by DQ and he was behind. Before that it was Richard Abril in the most blatant robbery in the history of boxing (besides maybe Roy in the Olympics).

                    How can anyone actually look forward to this fight? It should definitely be Ali, at least we don't KNOW that he will lose, and Rios has no reason to be fighting for a title.
