Crazy couple of months between Brook, Bradley, and Rios. First it was suppose to be Brook vs Rios, then Bradley vs Rios, then rumors that it was gonna be Brook vs Bradley, then Rios-Provo rumors, now officially its Bradley-Rios. Call me crazy, but I'm taking Rios. Bradley didn't look impressive to me against Vargas. He's not as light on his feet as he used to be, therefore I dont see him moving on Rios all night. AND he just fired Joel Diaz, only trainer he's ever had. I think he'll trade with Rios too much.
If Bradley goes into this thinking brawl, Rios will stop him late. I think 147 is also not his weight class. His strength isn't a factor anymore, whereas at 140 he was able to outmuscle a lot of guys. But Rios is unproven at this weight also. I cant call this one to be honest.
Rios says that he was offered the same amount of money to fifit both, and chose Braddles because it's for a belt as opposed to Provo which he would gain nothing for.
If Bradley couldn't give that feather-fisted bum Vargas a beating, what makes you think he gives Rios s beating? I'm not saying Bradley can't win, but when is Bradley EVER in an easy fight? Rios CAN badly hurt Bradley.
Agreed. It's one of those fights that's virtually guaranteed to go the distance outside of stoppage due to cuts. Bradley will do more of the cleaner work and therefore get the decision. It should still be an entertaining fight, but not on the same level as Rios-Provo would have been.
Provo has always been more interested in fighting Rios than vice versa. Rios knows that Braddles can't punch.
