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

[Chrismart]

Good showing from Bradley, he looked good. I think it was probably to do with both his work with Atlas and the fact Rios is limited/un-motivated.
He did his job though, looked good and got a good stoppage. I'm glad as i like Bradley.

I'm not really a fan of Atlas but this could be an interesting partnership. There is tougher tests than Rios to come though, so we will see.

It's a difficult performance to read. Rios didn't look to have anything at all. But Bradley was doing all the right things for the first time in a while now. He was still aggressive but there was a lot more craft in what he was doing. The angles were better, he was more responsible defensively, and his combinations were pretty sharp.

Question is whether Bam Bam's condition was responsible for all of that or just some of it. Would certainly be interested in seeing Bradley vs Brook now. That would answer a lot of questions.

Never in a million years would I have expected Bradley to put Rios away like that, very surprising to say the least. Although Rios did look like a shell of himself so I'm not quite sold on Bradley's career rebirth just yet. However, we still got to see every tool in Bradley's shed on full display and that hasn't happened since the Marquez fight. I'd like to see him matched-up with Postol or Crawford next just to see whether or not Atlas has truly breathed some new life into him.

Why 140lb'ers ?

Arum wants him to fight Canelo lol.

Its obviously a bit of both.

Bradley was right in the zone, and Rios has fallen off..... PLUS the fact that Rios is absolutely made-to-order for Bradley.

A 100% Rios would have still got exactly what Richard Abril gave him.

The Atlas factor is being waaay overplayed, Tim has always been a very well-rounded fighter, and he's a vet now..... he hooked up with Teddy about 7 weeks ago ffs.

I'm sure that it will be a great partnership, Atlas is a legend, but the Diaz/Bradley combination would also have outclassed Rios and won that fight so long as Bradley fought smart.
