Bradley-Rios Betting Odds

[diddy]

Anyone seen Bradley by decision odds yet at their shop?

[digzee]

4/9 here in England, which isn't bad considering its nailed on for me.
Edit- Just seen 1/2

[diddy]

-225? F that I'll just do the -400 then.

[Badhusker]

With Atlas, I think Bradley's chances are even better than before. I'm sure Rios is hoping for a late stoppage, but he is dreaming. Bradley is better than Rios in every category.

His chances of winning against Bradley are slim and none. (and as Don King would say....said slim just left town!)

[diddy]

Bradley wins for sure but I'm not laying -225 when I can just lay -400 and not worry about cuts or DQ's or butts or any of that crap.

I wouldn't say every category.

Rios is a better puncher and much better chin and is imo a naturally bigger guy despite Bradley being the WW.

But with that said its a tough one for Rios to pull off but i hope he does. Bradley had been coming off like a d*ck lately.

[handsofstone]

Could be a fun fight especially if Rios can drag Bradley into a brawl,i have a feeling with Timothy teaming up with Atlas that he might want to play it safe and use his far superior skills and brain to box to a safe but very wide decision,Brandon is pretty ineffective if outsmarted and cant get inside,he looked great in the Alvarado rubber match but Bradley is levels above Mike If what some suggested is true and Bradley is starting to look a little shot and losing his punch resistence then if Rios can pour it on constantly then it will be interesting to see if Bradley engages,if Vargas can wobble Tim then so can Rios

I doubt Rios will land many punches all night though,Bradley UD

Looking forward to seeing Lomachenko showing his skills again although his record seems to be going backwards,fought Salido and Russell Jr in his first 3 fights then his last 2 opponents were poor in comparison, Koasicha got dominated by Selby a year ago so im struggling to see why he was picked to face Vasyl,Loma looked great last time out despite an injured hand pretty much the whole fight,he needs to be stepping back up and fighting the best again

Loma by shut out

Chances are Bradley would be up for that considering his past, hardly been one for avoiding a straightener from time to time has Tim.

Yeah I'd have to agree about the chin and punch advantage. Rios will give it his all, and has a chance if he can make it a slugfest. Well see which Bradley shows up.

[diddy]

Atlas was hired because he will jump inside Bradley's a$$hole Yusaf style if he gets dragged into a stupid brawl.

[Evander]

You know Bradley will kick it off Diddy he's a real fighter, on top of the fact he's fighting Rios who only knows one way to box and that's the straight forward approach.

[diddy]

Bradley -275 by dec at my book but -390 to just win. I've never seen something such as that.

[hulkmaniac]

double post

It's because Brandon Rios would have to go into the ring drunk in order for Bradley to knock him out.

[lagako10]

-275 bradley +400 rios yeah mamen!

I understand that. I also understand its boxing and weird stuff happens. Like Bradley's big head opening up cuts. DQ's. Injury. Weird stuff. If you like Bradley the difference between -275 and -400 isn't wide enough to narrow your chances of winning to one route.

[diddy]

What I tell you?

[hulkmaniac]

What I tell you?

The way Rios looked at the weigh in was worse than when he is wasted. Am I surprised Tim won by stoppage? Yes Shocked? No

Rios says his body isnt the same anymore. Maybe if he treated it with a little more respect and had actual discipline outside of the ring he could fight several years more and make millions more for his family.

Right he's not anywhere near top shelf, but I still enjoyed watching him when he was at his best.

[Evander]

That was pure class from Tim Bradley tonight.
His boxing ability was superb his power was decent and his accuracy was spot on, jabs left hooks body punches most of which were clean precise shots landed from start to finish culminating in a one sided stoppage demolition job.
I gave Bradley every round of the fight and he looked very good this evening.

we can all say "if this guy or that guy had done this or that", but now that the guy
is out of the sport i'd like to give him credit for what he did do and what he was to
the sport. he wasn't elite, and wasn't expected to beat bradley unless he got in
a lucky shot. he probably could still beat some ranked fighters and maybe with
the right opportunity still find himself another title, and he wouldn't feel like shit
if he didn't let himself get out of shape. that is what creates the angst and suffering
and that overwhelming feeling of "i don't want to do this anymore", not living the life.
if you do everything you can do to prepare, then you shouldn't have regrets. looking
back, rios will probably have regrets that he didn't live the life and do everything he
could do, but he still has wins over world level fighters and fought 2 hall of famers
and had some good battles, and in order to accomplish that much he did more than
most are willing to do in their chosen occupations.

I thought Bradley was excellent last night,great workrate,good variety and really impressive footwork,i was surprised he took the fight to Rios straight away,i fancied him to try box Brandon before maybe being dragged into a brawl but it was inside from the off before Tim started befuddling Rios with movement,i was glad to see Bradley become the 1st person to KO Rios,it was kind of a good vs evil scenario where the true professional got his reward against the guy who doesnt take the sport seriously

Talking of impressive footwork,i dont think ive seen anyone with as impressive footwork as Lomachenko,its a joy to watch,Koasicha isnt a world beater but it was still great to see Vasyl show off his skills and even better to get the KO,Koasicha had never been stopped and LOmachenko isnt a puncher but his accuracy is frightining,still room for improvement for Loma though but nothing more than little tweaks to adapt to the pro game which he is doing all the time

He's wasted fighting the Romulo Koasicha's of this world though,Rigo needs to man up and take the fight otherwise stop whining behind his keyboard/phone

I thought Murata was ok

Loma's footwork may be the thing that stands out most to me about him. What I find particularly impressive is how he's able to use it so effectively from mid-range, rather than simply dancing around his opponent from far out. I consider him a mid-range slickster like Andre Ward, though there are still notable differences in their approaches.

Now hopefully we see a little less of Koasicha and Diaz in his future, and a little more Rigo and Walters.
