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

[JRB123]

this sport is closing the 2nd half of this year strong after not having anything in August but Mares-Santa Cruz...I'm cool with that

Could this fight be a sleeper candidate for Fight Of The Year? Who knows...

If Bradley fights like he did against Marquez, he'd 12-0 Rios. Unfortunately for Brad-Brad, he likes to go full ****** so I'll be expecting a war where he possibly gets dropped at some point hard.

Should win comfortably, but he'll make it harder than it should be for him again

This.

After being way ahead on the score cards by out-boxing Rios, Bradley lowers his hands in the 10th and decides to go toe-to-toe with Rios in a war, completely ignoring all forms of defense. Bradley gets dropped 3 times in the final 3 rounds, barely surviving the 12th when he is all but out on his feet for the last 45 seconds, but somehow manages to stay upright. He wins by narrow split decision.

The double standard is just too much. Why is everyone allowing Arum to drag Bradleys career through mud??

Why is it that Mayweather, Thurman, Brook, Errol Spence, Broner, GGG, Porter and etc are all held to higher standards than Bradley?

Bradley should be fighting the Thurmans, Porters, Brooks of the sport.

Instead he is stuck fighting bums like Rios and Lopez.

LOL bradley resume is already proven you cant compare him to guys like thurman porter and brook who have fought nobody.bradley is willing to fight anybody him not fighting thurman or porter isn't his fault its al gaymon's fault.the real question is how come thurman porter brook and danny garcia have not yet faced each other despite being with the same promoter.btw that bum lopez you mentioned is an exclusive pbc fighter so you don't have to worry about bradley fighting lopez.

I can see Bradley taking this very comfortably. There's a slim chance of Rios landing something big and hurting Bradley, possibly even knocking him down, but putting him away is another fight in and of itself. Rios has one gear and that's forward, he needs to do what Provo did and then some in order to win this fight.

On paper it sounds like an exciting match-up. I'm interested to see how Bradley performs without Joel as a trainer, and he has been looking a little heavy-footed lately, like he's beginning to show signs of wear and tear. If Bradley has lost a step, and Rios shows up in great shape, it could make for a very competitive fight.

This is a good fight because as we have seen from Provodnikov, and Diego Chavez, Brdaley struggles with inside fighters. Rios is definitely going to get inside Bradley's chest through out the fight which will make for interesting exchanges. This fight actually makes a lot of sense, I mean Rios was having a very close fight with Diego Chavez before Rios the "tough" guy turned into a baby, and Bradley fought Diego Chavez to a draw. Just because "in house" Bob does it again, doesn't mean it's not a good fight.

Top Rank Stable fight.
