TIMOTHY BRADLEY, JR.
“I am always willing to put it on the line. When Jessie Vargas hit me with that big shot I was ticked inside about it – but I was in control right through the final seconds of the fight. We are moving now to Rios who is tough, rugged and dangerous. I know Rios is fired up. I know this is a tough fight for me. I need to stay focused and to choose when to battle. I know Rios is a tough guy. I am tough too. And smarter. I am confident with Teddy Atlas with me. He has great boxing knowledge. I want that knowledge. We can do some damage together.”
BRANDON RIOS
“Bradley is no Pacquiao. We all know that. but Bradley will be the second-best fighter I have ever faced. Jessie Vargas waited too long in his fight against Bradley. Vargas let Bradley do what wanted he wanted to do except for the final seconds of the fight. I fought Alvarado earlier this year and was in the best shape of my life. I have accomplished a lot in boxing. Robert Garcia, my trainer, has stuck with me all the way. I want to thank Robert and Cameron Dunkin for getting me this shot against Bradley. This is a big fight and for me and it’s about more than the money and the title — it’s about winning — beating Bradle
