How Is Rios Still Making Lightweight?

anybody spend time with boxers? brandon rios does NOT look like a lightweight he carries a whole lot of extra stuff you dont usually see in lightweights he's got big bones he's got a big neck and head check out a video of him the week of the fight the guy looks like a GHOST hge's going to make his run at LW last as long as he can his style is dependent on being able to absorb blows from smaller men and land his own more powerful ones he's gearing up for a short career win a belt at LW maybe make a high profile defense move up to 140 where the real beasts are get in some high profile fights and try and win and then head off into the sunset with a bank account in the very low millions

I think I read something like that too. And I'm pretty sure I saw a video where Mikey Garcia said Rios is only going to be at 135 for a few more fights then they plan to move him up to 140. I think that would be a great move. Rios-Maidana later this year would be a war :boxing: i agree, that would be a very fun violent fight for however long it lasts :boxing:

in an article i read on here i'm pretty sure garcia said two more fights at 135 then hes moving up I think I read something like that too.

Didn't Rios' camp already say they plan to move Rios up in weight soon? I think they said something like IF he beats Miguel Acosta then he'll probly defend the belt a couple times then go up to 140. in an article i read on here i'm pretty sure garcia said two more fights at 135 then hes moving up

yeah but supposedly he was already in training for a while. He had 3 weeks left to make weight for his fight dec 5.But they offered him a spot on the manny card,and he took it thinking he would make weight. I think he was a pound off anyway.No biggie

I wonder the same about his nemesis Victor Ortiz. Rios is way too big for 135, and Ortiz is too big for 140.

He didnt make weight cause he had like a week notice to do the fight. You are right. I was just reading up on this right now and that is what I found out as well. But still, to me it seems his days 135 are numbered. 1 or 2 more fights at the weight and then move up to 140 seems likely.
