Bradley v Rios

[amwsnw]

anyone able to help out with a round by round ?

[sucracristo]

loma stopped his guy i think in the 11th, or may end of 10th.
target practice all night and started ripping body shots and the guy
took a knee and had enough. they're talking up cotto-alvarez
right now


intros...

[sucracristo]

bradley circling and poking with jab and boxing very smart.
rios tries charging a few times but bradley plays matador.
some decent shots at end of 1st
10-9 bradley

[sucracristo]

rios brawling more in 2nd.
rios chops decent body shots and his patented uppercuts and a good right
knocks bradley back in middle of round. close round to score.
i'm giving it to rios for landing the better shots even though bradley
was busier. rios dictated the pace and range in 2
19-19

[sucracristo]

i gave 3rd to bradley but i don't think this is the fight bradley
wanted to fight. rios is coming at him and they are digging into
each other's bodies, both landing low blows away from view of
ref. this is a fight and i can definitely see rios cranking bradley
at some point if bradley isn't careful.
29-28 bradley.

[sucracristo]

4th to bradley.
decent boxing and clinching to control pace/distance
3-1 bradley

[diddy]

No need to score this.

Rios will need a KO. Only question is can he get one late ?

[sucracristo]

bradley stepping off one side to other then back and battering rios
a la pacman. one overhand right looked like it made rios grab bradley's
arm for a second, then wink at bradley. 5th to bradley
bradley 4-1

[diddy]

Fight is not competitive. Maybe Bradley gets tired. The only question.

[sucracristo]

bradley obviously on a different level in terms of boxing ability.
5-1 bradley.
rios looking less competitive each round, like he's losing his
fire to win. bradley is there to be hit but he's beating rios to
punch on inside and then getting out

atlas screaming "we are firemen!!! we live in the heat!!! we train in the heat!!!
the fire doesn't bother us!!"

[diddy]

Brandon Rios sucks so bad it's not even funny. Dude literally has no skills. 15 lbs bigger and still looks like a little kid facing a man.

[sucracristo]

rios has a look on his face like he doesn't know what to do.
rios wants to rip into bradley but he's running out of gas chasing
him around. he needs a ko but it hasn't looked like he has a chance
at getting to bradley in a while. bradley got careless at the end of
his last fight and we KNOW that if that happens again rios can turn
this around with one shot, but he badly outclassed.

ref waves it off with 11 2nds left in round 9

[sucracristo]

it was the body shots from bradley that got to rios.
rios went down twice, but it was from body shots

[sucracristo]

rios announces retirement with lots of expletives

[diddy]

Rios "retired".

Sure. See you in 6 months, B.

Next time lay off the tacos and corona's.

[amwsnw]

Thanks guys. Greatly appreciated.

[sucracristo]

but he'll still take the million dollars for tonight, or however much he got
