Comments Thread For: Top Rank Prez: Tim Bradley Agrees To Brandon Rios Fight

It's sad Bradley never hasn't gotten the type of fame and following he deserves, but at least he's still getting paid. (relatively speaking)

With all the turmoil in Bradley's camp with people complaining about his wife turned Manager over stepping her boundaries and that leading to Diaz being fired as trainer I would not be shocked if he gets upset by Rios.

But still would rather see Bradley vs Ali and I don't buy for a second the BS Arum is saying that HBO doesn't want that fight. They are invested in Ali and have aired his last two fights and he was impressive in both fights. Plus his last fight did GREAT ratings for HBO. He is not an unknown fight. This is about Arum wanting to force a in house fight and maybe he has doubts with all the abuse Bradley has taken lately that he can beat a young fighter on the rise like Ali. Ali is a real welterweight and has done more to deserve a title shot then Rios.

**** that first pacquiao fight made bradley a household name or as close to it as he would ever get baring beating mayweather.

Also i dont get why people are complaining about this fight. i think there is a lot of top rank and pbc groupies battling complaining about any possible fight but anyone who has watched boxing for more then a week can see that these 2 guys are a perfect matchup. their styles are going to make for one hell of an entertaining fight and while bradley should be favored i will not be shocked if rios pulls off the win

Bradley has skills and quickness to make this pretty easy if he boxes and only goes toe to toe when forced into it, but Tim plain enjoys a fight and that inclination to mix it will put Rios in with a real chance he wouldn't otherwise have, imo.

Rios wins this one. Bradley's semi shot IMO.

Kind of agree with this.

Yeah, prime Bradley wouldn't have struggled with Jesse Vargas.

How did he struggle again? He was easily beating Vargas and got caught with one good shot. I don't see how he struggled. Even if Bradley was totally shot he's a better fighter than Rios. The problem is Bradley will want to go to war and that possibility gives Rios a chance to be in this fight. Bradley always had all the skills to easily dominate opponents like Rios. But he rather make it more exciting for the fans and you rarely get that.

Good fight, not my first choice for either but looking forward to this.

[GMAN SUPREME]

good fight. bradley should be able to easily outbox rios but his macho tough guy side will take over and he will **** it out with rios making it a fun and interesting fight.
