Bradley vs. Rios

Tim Bradley Vs. Brandon Rios. November 7th 2015. Las Vegas, NV. Thomas and Mac Center.

Here is an exciting night of boxing! This is the undercard fight for the month of November. The reason I say that, is we have some big fights coming up this month. We will see Canelo vs. Cotto on the 21st. And then Klitschko vs. Furry on the 28th. So this is the warm up fight for Novembers fight schedule. Not that this fight isn’t important, because it is! But it is a great warm up fight for what we will see in the next few weeks.

Bradley working with a new trainer, Teddy Atlas. Bradley’s prior manager (Cameron Duncan) now managing Rios. This fight will have some rooted behind the scenes ferocity.

Glass Jaw predicts a 12 round decision for Bradley. I like Bradley in this fight. He has heart, guts, and I just plain and simple like him!

Bradley weighs in at 146
Record 32-1-1-1
