While I think Bradley looked better with Atlas in his corner, he was still fighting a very unmotivated Brandon Rios who got knocked on his ass. Two things I take from that...

1. Everybody that knows boxing knows that Tim has pillows for hands.
2. Rios doesn't get put on his ass, so you knew something wasn't right.

While yall are sitting here talking about how Manny will get beat, you obviously haven't kept it in mind that Bradley has taken very unnecessary punishment in his last 3 or 4 fights before Rios. I see Tim getting hit one time and then going back tot he old Tim who throws a punch before he thinks about it.

Truth be told, none of know how Manny looks since last year. That makes me a lil nervous but only a lil becuz he didn't really take much damaged in the Floyd fight. Maybe he's not talking on purpose. I really don't know. If he loses, I wouldn't be too surprised. Tim is a great fighter with a great resume and Manny's style of fighting doesn't really hold up in the late years of a fighter's career. That's all I really have.

Yeah I wouldn't put much at all into the Rios win Rios phoned it in from the jump and isn't that good to me anyway to be honest. It's an interesting fight I worry about Timothy doing some dumb shyt midway and blowing the fight. Would preferred a Pac/Marquez I think Pac would be more motivated having to avenge a devastating KO vs a guy he already beat twice just don't know if Manny has any fire left.

I think Tim is a live dog and has a great chance of pulling the upset and this time it could actually be legit. He's took some damage too but he's fresher then Manny who has been in some wars and isn't that same active fighter he was a few short years ago.

It hasn't been a great run lately for Freddie Roach.

Manny lost to Floyd (injury or not)
Cotto lost to Canelo
Pascal lost to Kovalev
