By Dan Ambrose: Former WBA 140lb champion Brandon “Bam Bam” Rios (33-3-1, 24 KOs) says he plans on getting back into the ring to resume his pro boxing career after having thought about what went wrong in his last fight against WBO welterweight champion Tim Bradley.
An out of shape Rios was knocked down twice with body shots and stopped in the 9th round by Bradley, who isn’t considered a big puncher by any means. Rios came into the fight an out of shape 170lbs after making the 147lb limit the day before.
By Nate Estrada: The possibilities of potential match-ups are always intriguing. Whether it’s good friends or rivals that put up a good match, fans would be more drawn to a rivalry fight. That way they can expect guaranteed fireworks. Consider Oscar De La Hoya (39-6, 30 KO’s) vs. Fernando Vargas (26-5, 22 KO’s) on September 14, 2002. 
By Gerardo Granados: Last Saturday night at the Thomas and Mack Center, Las Vegas, USA, the WBO welterweight belt holder Tim Bradley outclassed and defeated Brandon Rios by TKO9. Although I called the fight right for Bradley, I bet on him to stop Rios on the 11 round so I ended up losing a few notes but still feel fortunate to have seen Tim performance, I know he defeated a brave fighter and not a slick welterweight boxer puncher but still this was a different Bradley for me. 
By J Caldwell: Whenever “elite” fighters take a beating the way Rios did last night in Las Vegas, the big “R-Word” starts to linger. I think it’s time to hang it up. I’m done,” Rios said following a long night of questioning from reporters. As a thoroughly beaten fighter, it’s only natural. Nevertheless, after watching the lackluster fight between Brandon Rios (33-3-1, 24 KOs) and Timothy Bradley (33-1-1, 13 KOs) unfold, you get the general impression that there was something fishy going on. Brandon Rios, along with his trainer Robert Garcia, arguably one of the top conditioners in the business, came into the Thomas and Mack center on the night of November 7th with the smell of fish on their hands.
By Yannis Mihanos: WBO welterweight champion Tim “Desert storm” Bradley (33-1-1, 13 KOs) produced a convincing 9th round knockout victory last Saturday night against Brandon “Bam Bam” Rios (33-3-1, 24 KOs) at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
By Chris Williams: If trainer Teddy Atlas gets his way, Floyd Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26 KOs) will be making a comeback in 2016 to specifically face his fighter WBO welterweight champion Tim Bradley (33-1-1, 13 KOs) to see if who the better fighter is between the two of them. Atlas says he wants to test the wits of Mayweather by coming up with a game plan for Bradley to give Mayweather his first defeat of his career. 
By Tim Fletcher: Brandon Rios’ decision to retire from boxing has been met with approval from his promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank, who thinks it’s a good idea for the 29-year-old fighter to hang up the gloves at this point in his career if he’s saved enough money to retire on.
