Timothy Bradley defeated Brandon Rios by way of dominant 9th round stoppage. The fact that Bradley was victorious did not surprise very many people, but the way in which he ended the fight shocked the boxing community. Bradley, not known for his power, was able to stop one of the toughest fighters in the sport with a refined boxing display. Under the tutelage of the enigmatic Teddy Atlas, "The Desert Storm" utilized precision and power to attack the body of the worn down Brandon Rios. How much did the new trainer/fighter duo help Bradley win this fight? Was Bradley's success the result of a faded Brandon Rios whose career had simply taken a toll on his body? There are still many questions to be answered by the champ, but there's no denying that Timothy Bradley put together a dominant performance this past weekend.

One of boxing's brightest young talents put his skills on display this past weekend in England. Callum Smith, of the fighting Smith's, showed why he is widely considered one of the best prospects in the fight game today. The super-middleweight star blasted Rocky Fielding out in the opening frame of this highly publicized event, proving why so many think he will be a world champion sooner than later.

Plus, the guys break down all of the action from last week in Russia as heavyweight contender Alexander Povetkin headlined a loaded fight card.
