I know this friend that wsb shyt doesnt count. I'm one of the OG loma stans here been stanning him since a bit before his last medal
I was put on to him by one of USA Wrestling's coaches, Loma is actually a pretty good wrestler as well he watches all of the wrestling there and became cool with a lot of the USA wrestling guys.
Bradley can easily beat rios but i got a feeling shyts gonna get lit. Resulting in a close timmy win with fireworks. Whoever pbl fights will be a display of footwork

aight breh..my views on Haymon and PBC
I don't see Haymon as some savior for boxing mostly because of how the fighters he "advises" are compensated in contrast to what they have actually done in the careers. Alot of his fighters are overpaid for fighting the most non descript opponents and passing them off as must see cards.
He all but turned boxing on showtime into shyt with this matchmaking practice last year. shyt was disgusting to me
esp since i pay for the channel. I also think that shyt ruins fighters, especially young and/or upcoming fighters. It breeds laziness and complacency along with tendency for risk aversion. I also can give 2 shyts on what fighters make as an excuse for this. Hell its already starting to rear its head in some of his main fighters already and I think its going to get worse.
PBC is the culmination of Al's efforts to preserve his fighters from taking Ls. Now I thought PBC's intent, besides trying to showcase boxing on more mainstream level, was showing a better quality of fights. Especially with that roster he has under his control. i don't feel that way at all. I'm not the people that are nitpicking the design, or the broadcasting team, or the entrances for PBC and dismissing it off that. That type of shyt is trivial and cosmetic in the bigger picture of things. What is important though is it matchmaking. I don't feel the cards are any different from your FNF, Shobox, HBO BAD, regular Showtime card. It has its fights here and there and I do have a PBC fight as the current leading FOTY candidate (Huck-Glowacki - ironically neither are PBC fighters lol). However it is the one thing I harp about PBC. The potential for good cards are there but its not being executed right.
Now I hear the typical response "Pat its on free TV though
". That shouldn't be any reason to excuse the matchmaking. I also feel because there's so many PBC cards these days, it is used as a crutch. For example the 3 undercard fights on the past Floyd-Berto card shytted on every PBC card i've seen, which is all of them. That was on a PPV and that is the type of level of fights i thought PBC was going to bring to the game. Now with all that I've seen every PBC card on TV and have even been to one live with plans on seeing another one live next month. I do it because I love boxing..nothing more nothing less.
If im going to drink the PBC kool aid, the matchmaking has to improve and even better work with other promoters
so thats basically a sum of my thoughts..most of the cats on here have heard them before in different variations
