Bradley fought like a stud last night. Committed to the body and broke Rios down round by round.
What also impressed me about Bradley was how elusive he was in the pocket. He slipped a lot a punches up close, even during exchanges.
Somebody pass me that plate of crow and worcester sauce, I thought for sure Timmy would start to stand in front of him with his hands at his side. Teddy did a great job in the corner with simple, sound fundamental advice. Sure he slipped a little when the camera came in the corner with a little yelling but I thought he did a great job. Tim fought a masterful fight. Just a great performance.
Ps- Its insane that Rios hydrated 24 pounds. He was heavier then Golovkin in his last fight. That shit should be illegal. Rios looked spent but honestly much of that look was because Bradley put on a clinic.
They really need to do something about this weight bullshit.
It seems a very tight relationship bud. Both are cut and dry and very passionate. Time will tell though and if any rift comes it'll probably revolve around who Atlas and HBO want as future opponents. On Canelo v Bradley I think HBO is 100% serious but it rings as empty to me. Just another convoluted possible CW between two names out of convenience who already have plenty of work to do in own respected divisions. Rios came off and came in like he was just there for a fatpayday but Tim kept discipline and tore that fatty up. Love to see him dive into a very deep welter division and looking forward to it!
Rios said he made weight after taking a big sh!#t.
That said it all.
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
Watched the replay earlier tonight.
Bigger fan of Bradley now, that he stopped Rios.
Was hoping Rios would go out with a KO loss.
He should retire... he's a joke.
I was a fan of both these guys, I figured Bradley would win but expected more from Rios. I've mentioned a few times in the past I thought Rios should retire as I think the guy is punch drunk. Rio had some impressive fights and a good career, I hope he sticks to retirement so he can enjoy the brain he has left.
