Call me crazy but Rios has a chance!

Not crazy at all. All these wars are catching up to Bradley - hell, a feather-fisted Vargas was able to land a hard one. A new cheerleader in Atlas isn't going to change that, unless he has a moment of clarity and boxes like he did against Marquez.

Rios should move up to Middleweight. He still looks fat

[koolttt]

This is ending in a WIN for Rios.

Bradley is going to get dragged into a brawl

And I think Brandon's face I just always fat

Everyone has at least a chance. I see Bradley a level or two above Rios. This is Bradley's to lose rather than Rios' to win. Bradley's biggest enemy is himself... his indiscipline, love of a tear up. That's what separated Mayweather from the rest - supreme focus and discipline. Not to mention athleticism.

That pic of him smiling, looks like he has one middle tooth instead of two

Was waiting for the next round of pictures to come out - i don't look at Rios' body to assess how good he will come into a fight, I pay attention to his face. It looks healthy to me, not bloated and tired. He will be a tough fight for Bradley, but Tim's will is unbreakable so far even against heavy hitters. Rios really has to hurt him bad so he can put the trainer-fighter relationship to the test, that's really the only unknown in this fight.

C'mon rios. I would of gave him a better shot if Arum had kept him active this year
