Review: 2014-12-13, good fight between Timothy Bradley and Diego Chaves: it gets three stars. Timothy Bradley entered this fight with a professional boxing record of 31-1-0 (12 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.5 welterweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Floyd Mayweather Jr); he has won world titles in two different weight classes but he lost the Wbo Ww belt in his last bout, against Manny Pacquiao in their rematch (=Pacquiao vs Bradley 2).
His opponent, Diego Gabriel Chaves, has an official record of 23-2-0 (19 KOs=82%) and he entered as the No.28 in the same weight class and he lost two out of his last three fights: against Keith Thurman (=Thurman vs Chaves) and Brandon Rios (=Rios vs Chaves); between these two bouts he defeated Juan Alberto Godoy. Bradley vs Chaves is the mian event of the evening. Watch the video and rate this fight!

Official highlights
A competitive fight? Yes. Some close rounds that could have gone either way? Yes. A draw? No.
In my view Bradley won.
Very Good fight from both great boxers, the bias commentary was shocking, then the end result shut the commentators right up.
I had the fight a DRAW.
JJ – you just tasted your foot.
“Some close rounds” .. that means it could have gone either way.
I hate the 10 point system.
1 point for winning a round per judge. 1 extra single point for a knock down. (not 3)
Good scrap none the less.
