I just don't see how Rios is winning this. . He's been since Mike Flabbarado outboxed his slow ass..
The breakdown is timmy should win as hes the better boxer and has advantage in speed but he has not looked good in his fights since jmm....whether you don't want admit something is off with him that's on you...which is why I'm giving rios a chance...rios I think also has a lot of mileage like bradley maybe even more but he has a better chin...unless bradley goes to his body he's not going to hesitate to come inside..rios is underrated when it comes to his work on the inside and throws better combinations...Bradley ' s punch resistance is also a question mark and for his sake he better keep that dummy fighting in check..we will see how an atlas trained bradley plays outwheres that breakdown pat
TB just needs to box him, stay on the outside, Rios will have zero answers. The Pacquiao and Alvarado losses truly exposed him for having a tremendously low boxing IQ, and while the JMM fight will probably go down as TB's finest performance in the ring he'll probably just need to be at 50% of that performance level to dominate Rios with ease. At this point I don't see much left in Rios tank and rate him as a C-level fighter. But the hate for BATB is strong around here so I'm not surprised to see y'all picking Rios.
You're right about the Abril fight, that was the fight that exposed him. Had forgotten about that outrageous robbery.I can't really give Alvarado credit for anything exposing rios...mike took his zero yes but he went through 9-10 rounds of brawling and getting busted up before he switched sticking and moving..rios was just too stubborn and far gone in his brawling to switch up later...and then of course bookended by rios ko'ing him in the first and third fights
Pac was a brutal boxing lesson for him..showed that there was levels to this shyt but I can't give him credit either for exposing rios
His fight with Richar Abril that is where he got exposed...shyt was as bad as pac-bradley 1 when it comes to robberies..maybe even more since for the life there was no public outrage over it as there should have been...Abril beat him thoroughly on the outside with a jab and right hand AND on the inside (something Alvarado and Pac didn't really do when they beat him)..shyt was an atrocity
that fight pissed me off so much i couldnt even watch the JMM fight after itYou're right about the Abril fight, that was the fight that exposed him. Had forgotten about that outrageous robbery.
It's that BATB effect. watch teddy bring the pivot back for Tim that we saw in the JMM fightHaving trilogies with crackheads is all it takes for people believe you're a good fighter now a days.
I hope Bradley does fight like a dummy because he will beat him anyway
