Comments Thread For: Insider Notebook: Rios Fired Up, Arum on Martinez, Donaire

BIGPOPPAPUMP

By Robert Morales - It was July 2011, and lightweight world champion Brandon Rios squared off with Urbano Antillon in a title defense at Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. Rios and Antillon went toe-to-toe in three hard-hitting rounds, Antillon not getting out of the third after being decked twice in the round.

At that point, Rios was really on the minds of boxing people of all sorts, from fans to promoters to TV executives to reporters. And for good reason. He was a mean dude with dynamite in his fists, and he had no problem getting into vicious fights. He was all action, and people were loving what he brought to the ring.

What a difference a year has made.

Rios was supposed to make his second defense against John Murray this past December, but lost his title on the scales when he weighed a half-pound over. The title was vacated, Rios stopped Murray in the 11th at Madison Square Garden, but it remained vacant because Murray was the only one who could leave with the belt. [Click Here To Read More]

If you're a true boxing fan, why wouldn't you care? Or are you one of those who bash filipinos like most on this site? Either way, it'll be your own fault for missing a great fight with a great main undercard.......

It's pretty obvious from Lac'em up's avatar that he is not a true boxing fan, but is only in love with his own race - a definite sign of insecurity.

Yes, there seems to be quite a few who continually try to bash Filipinos here, and being a non-confrontational people they do not trash talk back in the same way.
