blackrican23 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 A deal is in place for two-division titlist Tim Bradley to face Diego Chaves in a welterweight bout on Dec. 13 at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, Top Rank Promotions CEO Bob Arum informed RingTV.com on Friday.Intentions for Bradley-Chaves were revealed by Arum during a Sept. 18 interview with RingTV.com and the fight was unanimously approved for the venue last month by the Nevada State Athletic Commission during its monthly agenda hearing.“Tim Bradley is a good fighter,†said Arum, adding that the contracts have been forwarded to the fighters to sign. “Tim Bradley wants good fights, so that’s why we made this. This is a good fight for him.â€In his last bout in April, Bradley (31-1, 12 knockouts) was dethroned as WBO 147-pound beltholder following a unanimous decision loss to Manny Pacquiao, who avenged his split decision to Bradley in June 2012. The loss to Bradley, 31, ended Pacquiao’s near seven-year, 15-bout winning streak that included eight knockouts.Chaves (23-2, 19 knockouts) is 1-2 in his past three fights and is coming off August’s ninth round disqualification loss to Brandon Rios. Chaves, 28, had taken a streak of five consecutive knockout victories into his bout with Keith Thurman, who dropped Chaves twice during a 10th round knockout victory in July 2013. http://ringtv.craveonline.com/news/358591-tim-bradley-to-face-diego-chaves-on-dec-13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
