Is the Bradley/Rios just on HBO or is it on HBO PPV?

[Raps18-19 Champ]

Regular.

[Raps18-19 Champ]

Anyone see the fight. It was a sloid fight and Bradley looked good. Sent Rios into retirement.

Bradley looked the best I can remember seeing him, while Rios looked just horrible. Didn't move at all and looked out of shape. Maybe he should stop eating all those tacos he loves.

[Raps18-19 Champ]

He clearly wasn't prepared and I never took this as a serious fight. Rios is like Gabe Rosado. He's a big name but gets beat by everyone.

I would also like to see more of that guy from the undercard. I think his name started with an L. I thought I have seen him fight before and then they said he was on the Mayweather/Paq undercard and I remembered. He's a great fighter.

Lomachenko is a top 10 P4P fighter in my books. He only has 6 fights but he's the best amateur fighter ever. Was like 396-1 in the amateurs (avenged his only loss multiple times) and won a title in his 3rd fight.

Arum wants him vs Rigo next year.

Why did he stay Armature so long? Did he want to do the Olympics a lot?

[Raps18-19 Champ]

Not sure but he's won 2 gold medals. GGG turned pro late as well. It's more common in European countries.

[Raps18-19 Champ]

Really good fight today. Algieri also fighting on the undercard.

[Raps18-19 Champ]

Anyone watch? Jacobs got a TKO round 1.

Quillin shouldn't have listened to Al Haymon....Haymon talked him out of a million dollar fight... and now his career has taken a severe mis-step. Who knows if he'll get another chance at a big pay day. Plus, he has a new wife and baby to worry about.

[Raps18-19 Champ]

He got paid $1.5 mil last night and there will probably be a rematch.

[rocketfuel]

I know that already. My point is with the disaster that happened yesterday, he really couldn't afford to miss any of those million plus paydays. Who knows if he'll get that amount after the rematch. He was demolished.
