Dunkin: Bradley-Rios, Quigg-Donaire title bouts in works - Dan Rafael Blog - ESPN
Arum trying to plan an all Arum showdown. My guess is winning gets Pacquiao as Pac's comeback fight from his debilitating shoulder injury that has had no rehab but is healing nicely on its own.
Waste of time. But TR owns the WBO so they get what they want. WBO has Rios as numer 3 I believe, absurd. Last I knew they still needed to get the WBOs approval to go around Ali.
Not all TR if Donaire is on a Matchroom bill in Manchester. Still not convinced by Quigg who was going backwards all night and may have got lucky with an overconfident Martinez -- I'm not a Frampton fanboy and not yet convinced by him either. But if he does the business against Donaire he's a proper playa.
Bradley will slice up Rios.
I thought Kell was fighting Rios next anyway?
If Bradley resorts to his slugfest ways it could be interesting although I think Rios should retire before he forgets English and can only say fuck over and over.
Bradley will not risk being reckless against Rios. He only does that for fighters he can get away with it. Prov fight was just silly from Bradley.Quote:

I never have and never will believe in Rios; he's a VERY unidimensional fighter and can easily be outboxed. PLus, he's trained by Robert Garcia, which is the most inept coach EVER to give advices and to run a corner... and I have never seen one single fighter who significantly got better under his guidance. #overrated.
Bradley will beat Rios up but it will be an entertaining fight. UD12 Bradley.

Don't get me wrong Rios is one slugfest away from needing to use flash cards for conversations but he'll come very physical and sloppy dangerous on a guy he'll surely outweigh and refuses to listen to people smarter than he. I've never bought in that Bradley was some full on boxer simply choosing to brawl. Some of those choices were made for him and over the last few fights he's been leaving himself in bad exposed lurches. Tough gritty fight for both I think
I think its an even fight. Bradley has been taking an awful lot of damage lately and much of it unnecessary. Rios would most likely win a chin-off but both of these guys could fall apart in a fight like this.
Agree with both of the above, this is a no win for Bradley anyways I think. He gets caught with crude stuff and he wont be able to hurt Rios, would be a tough one for him.
