[nielon]

I'm a huge Bradley fan..... so I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you all to the bandwagon..... but you guys are tripping, you should have been here years ago

Lololololollolllloooooool

Rios and his family are damn lucky he didn't accept the Provodnikov fight.

I'll respect your opinion but Bradley changed a lot of things about his style, a lot of problematic things, and finally showed power for the first time. I am not ready to call that a coincidence.

You may not be ready to call it a coincidence. But it's no coincidence that Rios was in bad shape and had 24 lbs of water jiggling in him. Things like that takes away credit, and that's no fault of Bradley.

Bradley did look better with Atlas. Probably the best he has ever looked IMO. I would personally like to see him fight Khan next and Bud Crawford get the Pac fight. HBO talking about Canelo next is a bit on the ridiculous side. And Canelo will not fight Bradley at a catch weight you can almost be assured of that.

On the fip side, Rios did look bad. He looked stiff and rigid and his unhealthy offseason habits eventually caught up to him. He's only 29 so I doubt he is retired for good. He'll probably need some cash in a few years. Work ethic has always been a question with him. And tonight he looked unequipped.

Glad to see Bradley do well. He's turned into the epitome of what a first class, top notch athlete represents.

Would have been a much easier fight for him than Bradley.

That will likely be next.

I have to agree on this one, and call me crazy but I put my money on Khan any day over Bradley.

Problem for Khan is Bradley can cut him up on the inside. Bradley would be back in Brawler mode and not let Khan breathe. I can see Bradley stopping Amir Khan. Too sharp, too versatile.

Very solid outing for Timmy. As a guy that's appreciative of what Timmy's done in his career. Wouldn't have a problem with him getting another big payday against Manny or the Cotto-Canelo winner. But personally, I'm not overly interested in either of those match-ups. I most wanna see him in with Brook or the Thurman-Porter winner next.

I agree, any of those match ups at 147 would be great!

He looked superb in that fight, as did Richard Abril when he fought Rios.

In fact, Richard Abril has never looked better than he did that night

Come on guys, go watch some old Bradley fights.

Not a surprising result... not because Bradley is good (he's average) but because Rios is so unbelievably phukin' terrible @ 147. He's only fighting at this weight because he's fat and too undisciplined to loose the weight. Retire immediately!

when they mention rios is weighing 170 and bradley by 155, I know who's gonna win, props to bradley, im one of the guys who hope he lose, he proves he's the new bradley though
