The ref will stop it!! A ridiculous match up at this stage of both careers. Thurman is trying to move ahead and Rios is an opponent for the young lions coming. He should retire he has no chance at winning against any of the up & coming men.

Now while I do think One Time wins, it won't be easy. Rios is possibly the best inside fighter at 147, he's durable and has solid power.
One Time also seems to leave his chin in the air early in fights and can get countered. So especially early I see a serious war. But once Thurman starts to box and punch he'll take over and cruise to a ud or stop him very late depending on Rios who's more formidable than people realize.

Originally posted by nacho daddy View Postgee that is funny in Wikipedia they list him as welter AND junior middleweight hmmmm. he looked 15 lbs bigger then the Ghost
Thurman has been a welterweight since his amateur days, the amateur welterweight limit is 152 pounds, so he just stuck with that when he first turned pro, then as he stepped up in competition he started making the 147 limit (easily btw), Thurman is a normal sized welterweight.

Btw, Thurman would beat Rios to a pulp. It would be the kind of beating that stays with you forever. Guerrero was cautious against Thurman for most of the fight, he can at least box a bit and has some decent defence, Rios only knows how to fight one way, he would walk face first into Thurman's punches non-stop

Oh, it says it on wikipedia? It must be true then.
