If you need a reason to watch this fight, just go back and watch the most recent fights from both men. Both Bradley and Rios have been in a series of tremendously entertaining fights in recent years, with the big highlights being Bradley's insane war with Ruslan Provodnikov, and Rios's epic trilogy (well, epic two-thirds of a trilogy) with Mike Alvarado. Styles make fights, and these are two fighters that know how to entertain. Look for a war here folks. It's also a big fight with the winner again establishing himself as a major player in boxing's most lucrative division.


Opening the card is an equally entertaining, though very different fighter. Vasyl Lomachenko steps in for just his 6th professional fight as he takes on Romulo Koasicha. For fans of the technical side of the sweet science, it doesn't get much better than Lomachenko these days. He's one of the most accomplished amateurs in the history of the sport - a two time Olympic gold medalist with a technical game that is sublime to watch. And he's only getting better. Tune in early for this one.
