Really good job by Bradley.
If Atlas can get him a bit more secure about his jab and how to use it to guide his opponent…
Incredible boxing teaching lesson, his opponent looks like as being his sparring partner. Excellent knock out for a guy that isn’t a puncher but is a fast and precise boxer. Bradley technically excel in this fight which was the best i saw from him. I guess his coach Atlas has a lot to do with this success. He did the right fight , at the right distance, with impeccable moves in the ring, really a master piece. Brandon was totally out-boxed.
To be honest with you I was quite happy with the result because it is criminal the way Rios hydrated himself before the fight going up to 170 pounds which is vicious. In fact, most likely this was the cause to be so affected by the body punches connected by Bradley. Rios realized that is better to go for retirement since he isn’t anymore in conditions to fight in his present category.
Well done Bradley-Atlas
After a warrior-like career, Rios says he is retiring at 29 years old. He was paid 800K for this fight. I hope he invests it well and takes care of himself.
Matt, I really don’t like Rios since his fight with Chavez where he was fully favored by the referee who decided to disqualified Chavez.
Rios knew he was losing the fight and was very nasty too doing as much as possible to get him disqualified or at least get some points discounted from Chavez . I’m quite happy he goes for retirement

El estilo de Bradley(boxeo)se impuso al de Rios(fajador),espero este ultimo,piense un poco en su salud y deje ya de boxear.Muchas palizas ha recibido en sus ultimos combates,y es claro que con boxeadores como Bradley,no tiene mas que parar los golpes con su cuerpo.Saludos
eldiariero: Estoy completamente de acuerdo. Bradley se paso y demostro en esta pelea que es un boxeador buenisimo. Con muy buena defensa, excelente combinacion de golpes y muy rapido. Me gusto mucho pues por carecer de potencia en sus golpes tiene un estilo que es dificil de batir. Respecto Rios muy Buena la decision de retirarse, no da para mas. Su estilo de pelea lo expuso demasiado a recibir muchos golpes durante toda su carrera. Me gustaba pero le tome un poco de bronca cuando peleo, en una de sus ultimas peleas, con Chavez donde hizo lo imposible para lograr su descalification porque sabia que estaba perdiendo la pelea. El referee por ser Americano por supuesto colaboro con el y finalmente Chavez fue decalificado. La pelea fue muy sucia de ambos lados pero hubo gran sorpresa cuando Chavez fue descalificado.Si tiene tiempo, puede ver esta pelea y leer el articulo que le sugeri a Mattsnow abajo con el link en color Azul.

That’s boxing, good fight, Bradley has shown what he’s got, not like Mayweather who runs a lot and wouldn’t engage, boring fight PPV not worth it.
