Jmm has much more heart and his accuracy is Excellent, dunno if he'll stop rios as he has a tuff chin n heart but jmm will box him up pretty good, UD jmm
Marquez can't keep getting into these types of wars. Against Katsidis, Marquez looked like his legs were slowing down and Rios is another young, strong powerful lightweight (who looks big for that division) who will dish out a lot of punishment. Its a winnable fight for Marquez but i wouldn't be too confident in betting on him. He should target bigger fights.
No way this one makes it to the cards.
Bam Bam is like some kind of crazed,cholo-kamikaze. He'll just keep charging the machine gun til' he takes the bunker or gets smoked.
Either JMM has enough power to stop him or not. I think he does, but if not, El Dinamita no longer has the legs to box and stay away for the whole 12, imo.
Great fight either way...
JMM KO7 Brandon Rios :boxing:
Yeah Miguel Vazquez is the Mexican Bhop. He leads with his head sometimes and he loves to clinch and rough up opponents.
Its also helps that hes 5"10 and his only losses are to Canelo(twiced) and Bradley.
Two guys that would beat Rios.
I agree.
Hes also a guy who won't stand and trade.
Hes willing to make it boring to win.

I think Miguel Vazquez will beat Rios. Miguel Vazquez is a very crafty fighter than also do some rough tactic.
I agree.

Marquez would easily win by KO. I even give Juan Diaz an edge on beating Rios.
I agree.....wish Diaz would go ahead & take that WBA belt away from Rios
I know that Rios is young, that he is a very exciting fighter, but his defense is not exactly a very good one, he should work on it if he wants to have a chance.
JMM would have trouble early, but i just don't see he losing. His counter punching skills are way better than Acosta's and hell, he got power. Rios would eat at least 30 clean counter punches per round, no way he would survive. Acosta did the job but couldn't finish, JMM would never let Rios survive after hurting him.
Respect the master, JMM by KO.
This is why in my opinion Rios will win.Marquez does have problems early,but unlike Marquez's other opponents,Rios gets stronger as the fight continues,he's just too young,too big & his chin is iron,Marquez's problems with him won't get better,they'll get worse.

Too early its a mismatch right now. Lets see what Marquez has left, the Marquez that fought Katsidis ruins Rios(doesn't KO him but gives him a 12 round beating). Rios needs about 2 more legit opponents then this would be a great fight if Marquez still has his current form
if they fight before the end of the year, JMM wins... Marquez is just too clever and experience to let Rios to keep coming at him hitting him with clean shots. last night was a great win my Brandon, but let's not get carried away and forget what JMM has been doing for the last decade.
Rios will have a good shot at JMM, since we all know that JMM has lapses during his fights... you just have to try and put him away when you do..
Im actually think rios beats marquez! rios is much bigger
and he is a better version of margarito but i picked acosta to win!
all credit to rios and victor ortoz should move up another weightclass cause rios is coming for him!
Listen,I love Marquez,he's a world class fighter,but Rios is too big & too young for Marquez right now.Marquez is too old & has been through too much wars.if they fight,it'll be Marquez passing the torch.Rios stops him.
Dude you gotta understand who you're dealing with. Marquez at lightweight is the ultimate kryptonite against a pressure fighter.
The way this man reacts to a knockdown is incredible. It's like a switch in his brain goes off to 'accurate super combination kill mode'.
I agree Rios is one tough mofo and his chin is incredible. But you need a little more than that against the master.
Three years ago JMM lights up Rios but I just cant see the Marquez that beat Katsidis going the distance.
