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

[Sweet_Science2]

I know about them but have they accomplished what Bradley has yet? Not at all.

I'm a fan of some black boxers like Bradley, Thurman, Crawford and even cheered for Wilder to win the belt. So I'm not tired by anything.

You said black people should be excited about instead of Floyd and Ward. So I had to correct you and say Bradley getting a stoppage and having a big name is nothing new being black. Thurman, the Charlo twins, Crawford, Wilder, Porter, Spence jr, all fight in that aggressive knock you out style. So why make that dumb ass statement this is a black fighter Floyd and Ward fans can cheer for?

That was a dumb statement so I had to correct.

Did anyone actually think Rios had a shot in this one?

Rios was SO motivated against Alvarado. He looked amazing that fight. I expected him to do great, but I just got back from work, charged my phone, saw that Bradley Stopped him, and nearly sh^t myself!

Bradley is the real deal, good on him and unlike guys like Ward, Bradley actually fights entertaining ...

... Bradley is one of my favorites since the 'Pac I' fight...

Wow! Congratulations to Timothy Bradley on a very nice and impressive victory. It's the best I've ever seen perform. I never knew in a million years that he would ever KO Brandon Rios. So good luck champ and here's wishing you much success in the future.

This is someone the Ward aka Floyd stans need to follow now as their great black hype. He actually fights and has skills.

might be the dumbest comment in the history of nsb

From what I've seen, Rios was in a terrible physical shape and Bradley may have realised that very early.

Timothy Bradley's performance against Brandon Rios was nothing short of incredible. I kind of like his chances against Canelo Alvarez. If Floyd could easily out class the counter punching Ginger Alvarez by out boxing him from the outside, due to his very slow feet and inability of cutting off the ring, then I just don't see how Bradley couldn't duplicate the same. Tim seems like a much more improved fighter with Teddy Atlas as his trainer than he was with Joel Diaz. It's just my opinion.

Bradley did what he needed to do and got him out of there. The body shots were hurting Rios since the first round. When I heard Rios said his wife had to talk him into not quitting in training I figured this would end badly but this was the absolute worst case scenario. Bradley was always a good fighter but I think the 2 bouts with Pacquiao set him back a bit. We all know he shouldn't have the won the first and that led to him swinging for the fences in the second fight and getting into a brawl with Provodnikov.

You genuinely believe Bradley is half as good defensively as Floyd is?

No, I would never say that but the facts remain the same. Alvarez is a counter puncher with slow feet who has problems cutting off the ring against distance out boxers with faster feet and even faster hands. He is very similar to JMM in that regard. If you take the fight to him, then he will look spectacular but if you give him some subtle movements and spacing he will almost always struggle.
