After the Vargas fight, I called it - that Bradley would likely be in with Rios next. Looks like I might be right. This is gonna be a fun one. Both guys are now slightly past their primes, but no reason why this won't be a great fight. Bradley better utilize his quickness and movement to win this one. If Timmy stands and trades, Rios has the edge.
I prefer rios vs provodnikov. i think bradley will move around and it wont be a great action fight. heard this was gonna happen a few weeks ago, with vargas vs dulorme on the undercard
Bradley will box Rios for sure, especially after the scare he got his last fight. He'll stand and fight IN SPOTS... I like Bradley via UD with some shaky moments in there.
this will be dull...........................I think Bradley will win this, close but clear decision. Rios doesn't really impress me, he has the worst aspects of being a Mexican 10 stone fighter and none of the best.........where is the relentless pressure, where is the killer left hook downstairs. He gets hit too easy and can be stymied...without having the qualities to over-ride the deficiencies. I mean he's not even an 800 punches a fight kind of guy. Let's face it, Provo wrecked Alvarado, in between the rubber match, and then there were the legal issues preceding the fight. Of course Bradley is no great shakes either but he's just a bit better.
Bradley will win comfortably. He's a good, solid fighter and much better Rios, I just don't like watching him.
I think that Bradley will win as well, but given that he was just damn near stopped by a feather-fist in Vargas, Rios is not WITHOUT a chance. One thing I'll say about Rios that he has over Provo - he's a better finisher than Provo. IF he does badly hurt Bradley, it could be bad for Tim.
Yeah but does he just walk in there, shit or bust, and get Bradley hurt in the first place, I am not so sure. :dunno:
You're acting like Bradley has the legs of a young Ali. Tim's footspeed has actual began to decline. Not sure if he can consistently move for 12 rounds. He'll have to stand and trade at some point.
Jumped the gun with this thread, because it looks like Bradley might be fighting Sadam Ali next. If so, I'll take Ali. Ali isn't anything special, but he's a sharp enough counterpuncher to tag Timmy consistently in-between his sloppy swings. And unlike that bum Jesse Vargas, Ali isn't slow handed.
Wow. Big difference. Credit to Bradley for fighting Ali. Seems like most champions with Bradley's tenure duck the true contenders. This will be a tough fight for Bradley.
