Cuba's Richard Abril (17-2-1, 8 KOs) is ready for a world title shot, after he returned from Panama with the interim-lightweight title of the World Boxing Association (WBA). This past Saturday night he captured the interim-belt by busting up former champion Miguel "Aguacerito''Acosta (29-5-2, 23KOs) with three knockdowns to win a twelve round unanimous decision.

damn this abril character must be HELLA skilled to KD Acosta three times with only 8 KO's!

either acosta really did have his soul permanently claimed by rios, or abril improved drastically as of late. . .

Acosta is one of those rare guys who can box off the backfoot and generate sweet power. . . I became a huge fan after his showings against Urbano and Brandon. . . I was hoping to see him get a premier fight again!

Hopefully this Abril cat is A LOT more than what his record shows. . .

I've seen Abril maybe 5x and he's a good stylist w/no big punch and Rios will bulldoze him before round 8...

So he just completely dominated an ex-champ that gave Rios a good beating and if I recall correctly he seems a little bit on the quitting side (Rios), before succumbing to him, won the interim belt and just beacuse you never heard of him the fight will never happen, you are some kind of fan.

I haven't seen this Abril guy fight, but I can tell that Rios fight took alot out of Acosta.

Rios doesn't need to fight that bum..It does nothing for him.

kevin mitchell has talked himself into a good assbeating after rios takes care of murray, wouldn't mind seeing either guy get in there with him. he should be moving up soon though, so who knows.

If Acosta went down three times to a guy with only 8 kayos, that tells me Brandon beat most of the fight out of him. Acosta isn't exactly a young fighter and Rios smashed him.
