The Rios-Peterson was a WBA eliminator. So now Riso is the #1 and mandatory contender for the WBA strap that Acosta holds right?
I know he called out Soto and Ortiz. But, I don't neither is likely to happen next. So maybe Acosta next?
I wouldn't mind seeing him against Urbano Antillon either.
A cut... OK... I remember it was something that happened to Rios that made him pull out.
I was excited for that fight when I first it was going to happen. I agree I still would like to see it.
Yeah, there was a long line of "come on!" moments around that time. Jorge Arce ended up getting cut in sparring too and had to cancel the Morel fight. Wanted to see that one too :sad2:
I'd like Brandon rios to take it.First thing i think abt acosta was when antillion trying to get macho with him at the end of the round yellling "mexicooo" and later got knocked out stupid by a vicious uppercut.
Rios ended up getting cut in sparring too close to the fight. I was looking forward to that fight wouldn't mind seeing it still.

me too, i favor rios in phone booth fight, who do you got???
i got rios to.soto is a tough fuker but rios is a huge lightweight.its gonna come down to whos stronger and can take it.i favor rios
Acosta is a good LW. I would like to see that fight as well. Or maybe have the Antillon fight first?
I know they were signed to fight but I think Rios pulled out due to an injury. I still think it is a good fight.

Why wouldn't Soto and Rios be made? I think that would make more sense right now given his recent performance against Peterson.
Eh I am not sure Soto would step up at this stage. He wasn't to eager to fight Peterson. I think he is content in fighting lesser opponents and wait for a money fights against Morales, Barrera, or JMM.
Maybe if Rios gets the WBA title. The chance of unifying might give Soto the reward he wants. Since moving to 135 Soto hasn't really looked good.
when was the last time soto fought somebody good like rios oh yeah joan guzman in 2007 lol
That's my point, Rios isn't excatly elite just yet but Soto is still a good fighter despite what anyone thinks. If Rios rocks Soto's knott and wins he'd be on the up and up quick...
Acosta is going to be a very, very tough fight for Rios. Stylistically Acosta should be able to beat him unless, Rios can consistently cut off the ring and connect to slow him down.
Antillon brings the same amount of pressure, but couldn't win rounds and eventually got stopped, if Rios can beat Acosta, he is the real deal.
