Bradley vs Rios

Timothy Bradley(32-1-1) will defend his WBO welterweight championship against the human punchbag Brandon Rios(33-2-1) at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas on 07/11/2015.

Should be a decent scrap, but one Rios is lucky to be getting. Chaves gave him fits and Rios was lucky to get a DQ win, whilst Bradley outclassed Chaves but then got mugged off by the judges.

Bradley should win by a wide UD

Rios isn't too dissimilar from Provodnikov so you'd hope Bradley would have learned from his mistakes in that fight and make easier work of this but you never know, really hate Rios and hope he takes a pasting.

Wouldn't say he was lucky to get the DQ win, granted he wasn't winning but it was a close fight and Chaves was definitely fouling a lot, DQ may have been harsh but it wasn't like he hadn't been warned

Dunno what Bradley has left to be honest, he's still got a great engine, quick hands, inside and outside technical ability but seems to small for welter and i'm not sure how many times you can be on the edge of being knocked and coming back, eventually he's going to get caught out.#

Rios is never in a dull fight and will bring the fire, Bradley doesn't really carry the pop of pacquiao to keep him off so should be a fun fight. Like both the Provodnikov and Chaves fights, Bradley will outwork, outbox and outland the sluggers but it'll be interesting to see what happens when rios connects a couple bombs.

Both fighters are on the wrong side of their peak and neither will want to lose and become a gatekeeper which they could become if they continue to slide.
