Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley Storms His Way To a Knockout of Rios

[Luilun]

Time for Bradley to call out Mayweather or the Pacquaio rubber match. Rios is a good B level fighter but he's not a A level fighter and will lose to any A level fighter

No Bradley has not always looked this good wake up. Tighter defense less time in trenches straiter less wide slapping punches better Jab angles combos give him and teddy due props. How can you get fooled by Rios ? Canelo cotto chocolito Latin skills don't hate for Latin sake

Yes he has, the style of Rios contributed to making Bradley look great.

He has always been that good.

Brandon Rios' future.

Crazy to think that Tim has had something like 2 KOs in 10 years, one of them being Rios who wasn't EVER KO'd before. Teddy, for all his madness, deserves all accolades served upon him tonight.

Personally, I don't think a trainer does all that much for a fighter in the stage of his career that Timmy is in. To me, Timmy is one of those guys that does everything good, but nothing great. To me, his greatest gift is his versatility. Its also his greatest weakness. Perfect example is how he'll turn in a masterful boxing exhibition against a great fighter like JMM.Then turn around and go to war with a guy like Provodnikok, a guy he could outbox in his sleep. Jf Atlas can bring anything. Maybe he has Bradley's ear enough to make him use his skills more often. We shall see when there's a lil more resistance on the other side of the ring.

Who's my boy?

If Rios is your boy, he got wrecked.

I actually predicted a KO, or at least some knockdowns from a body shot after seeing how out of shape Rios was. It was only a matter of time before someone did that to him. I also predicted Brook to stop him if that fight had happened. I'm glad he's hanging them up. No need to take that much punishment if your heart isn't in the sport enough to train year round. Whether you have a fight scheduled or not, fighters have a duty in the gym.

As for the Bradley-Atlas combo, I really like it. I've been saying for years that he could use a new trainer to polish up his style. I don't think Teddy will change him completely, nor is that necessary, but he's certainly good enough to assess what he does right and wrong, and work on those things. He seems to have done well with that much so far.

Rios was never a great or elite boxer. Just an average boxer in welterweight.

I don't know why a lot of people are taking his words to heart. Rios isn't retiring anytime soon in my opinion. He'll take a break and be right back.

Bradley ended dude's career.
