Timothy Bradley -Boxer: 5’6″ “Desert Storm” Bradley is a powerhouse of layered muscle. Despite his limited height Bradley, 32, can effectively box on his toes, slug in the trenches or counterpunch at midrange. Bradley is not a heavy hitter but he packs enough sting to garner respect. Bradley’s tight guard, mobility and slick head movement make him an elusive target. Bradley’s stiff jab to the head or body is his main component to establish ring generalship. Bradley has an excellent chin but has been on the deck several times in his career. For a modest puncher, Bradley tends to slug more than he should and can be caught with big punches in exchanges. The Palm Springs, California fighter is mentally tough but has only ordinary cardiovascular endurance. Timothy Bradley vs Brandon Rios Odds have Bradley -550 Moneyline (Bet $550 to win $100) at BOVADA

Brandon Rios -Boxer: The 5’8″ Mexican is no body beautiful with a physique better suited for being a truck driver. Rios, 29, doesn’t need a beach body however to batter opponents on the inside with brutal bodypunches. The purple-hearted pressure fighter has mastered the art of in-fighting with the use of angles, hooks, uppercuts and a high work rate. Rios’s all out attack leaves him in the line of fire but he knows how to roll with punches and catch shots off his gloves. The Oxnard, California representative has one of the best chin’s in the sport of boxing having never been down in his career. On the downside, Rios is not very fast or athletic and is limited to being a slugger. Rios brings tons of pressure but his ordinary footspeed make it difficult to cut off the ring against agile fighters. Rios has a questionable work ethic and is coming off a long layoff.
