Brandon Rios Rips Danny Garcia, Eyes Manny Pacquiao
Following his dramatic 7th round TKO victory over Mike Alvarado last month, former lightweight champion and current day junior welterweight contender Brandon Rios is back to light training at the Robert Garcia Boxing Academy in Oxnard, Calif. One of the more colorful characters you will run across in the sport, Rios’ gym theatrics are often a sight to behold, as was the case earlier this week when I swung by the gym and caught a day of his training.

“Bam Bam” and “The Problem” – Must-See TV for 2013
By Lyle Fitzsimmons - Move on, boxing fans… they have. Sometime around midnight ET on Saturday, the prolonged tease of a slow dance between Floyd Mayweather Jr., Manny Pacquiao and anyone who’d had an interest in them ever sharing a ring together ended instead with an ass-out hug and an exchange of fake numbers. They’re not going home with us. They’re not spending the night. And there won’t be an awkward walk of shame while we’re secretly posting about them on Twitter. But as really into them as we all once were, don’t worry. It’s nothing to get too sad about. Because not long after they slinked out the door concocting excuses they’ll make for the next desperate suitor, someone a lot hotter walked in with better hair, tighter abs and slicker dance moves. And within just a few cross-room glances, we’d already forgotten ol’ whatstheirname. In fact, just 72 hours later, the new “gotta have it” fight for 2013 is obvious: Brandon Rios and Adrien Broner. For the 140-pound championship of anyone that gives a damn. OK, I know that Danny Garcia, Lamont Peterson and even Zab Judah might have more legitimacy when it comes to actually being the preeminent entity at junior welterweight. But when it comes to a real-world litmus test – read: who’s compelling enough with the gloves off to make you have to watch them with the gloves on – there’s no better twosome out there than “Bam Bam” and “The Problem.”

Tim Bradley: Give Me Brandon Rios, Not The Guy He Beat!
These days, we haven’t heard quite as much talk from two-division champion Timothy Bradley as we are accustomed to. Having secured the highest-profile victory of his career when he pulled out a split-decision over Manny Pacquiao inside of the MGM Grand on June 9, the 29-year old Bradley has obviously done a lot of heavy thinking over the past few months. While he had clamored for a rematch with Pacquiao, the eight-division champion from the Philippines instead was maneuvered towards a fourth fight with Juan Manuel Marquez for Dec. 8, leaving Bradley with limited options. And while a rematch with junior welterweight titlist Lamont Peterson had presented itself, Bradley opted to sit out the remainder of 2013 instead of gearing himself up for a second encounter with a man he had defeated handily nearly three years ago.

Schaefer Has a Proposal To Arum on Donaire-Mares, Rios
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer has made a proposal to Bob Arum, the CEO of Top Rank. Golden Boy is interested in matching WBC super bantamweight champion Abner Mares against WBO king Nonito Donaire, who Top Rank promotes. Arum is open to doing the fight, but only if Top Rank handles the entire promotion. Arum recently BoxingScene's Luis Sandoval that Top Rank has no interest in doing a straight co-promotion with Golden Boy. They are willing, however, to pay Golden Boy a fee for the services of Mares.

De La Hoya Salivates Over Rios vs. Matthysse Showdown
When BoxingScene.com asked Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya about a potential fight between junior weltereights Danny Garcia and Lucas Matthysse - the Golden President quickly shifted gears and said the fight he wants to make right now is match between Matthysse (32-2, 30KOs) and Brandon Rios (31-0-1, 23KOs). Making the fight is not a good possibility. Rios is promoted by Top Rank, and they haven't done business with De La Hoya's company in a few years. Not to mention, Rios is being positioned for a major fight against Manny Pacquiao on April 21 [should Pacquiao beat Juan Manuel Marquez on December 8].
