Brandon Rios vs Michael Katsidis

This would probably be a great fight while it lasted. I'll take Rios by KO in 8 rounds or less.

Perhaps. Stating that he'd beat Marquez is overrating him. That said you would have to give him a very good chance against any other Lightweight and perhaps a few of the 140ers. I dislike Rios and can't wait for him to get KTFO, I was so happy watching Acosta in cruise control until the knockdown, up until then I really though Rios would get pulled out later in the fight, and as much as I wanted that to happen I can't help but respect Rios, he took everything Acosta through at him, he got his head boxed off for the first 5 or so rounds but found an answer and won. That is the trademark of a world class boxer. Getting in with Marquez wouldn't be career suicide as some would put it, but it would be a convincing loss. Rios has guts if he takes that fight any time soon. I'd be looking as Kats,Soto or Diaz. Hey, Marquez is 37, gonna be 38 this year...time to stop thinking he's invincible. I think someone will break this theory soon.:boxing:

lol @ some people just highly overrating Rios Perhaps. Stating that he'd beat Marquez is overrating him.

i personally thought rios was trash. he got outboxed the first 4 rounds before acosta got tired. he's lucky he's not in there with a JMM caliber fighter. if he goes in there with maidana he's gone. if he fights kats, a great all out war but too close to call. it's based on chin and punch power.

great match up fancy Katsidis and would love him to beat him.

Would be a war while it lasted. Katsidis has been in some wars which may catch up on him. Tough one to call.

Yes, it would be an awesome fight. Katsidis wins if he fights like he did against Marquez, only a bit smarter. Rios is no JMM. But I give him a fair chance to beat Katsidis as well.

lol @ some people just highly overrating Rios, he's a good fighter but I think JMM would school the f*ck out of him. He would get out boxed and if Rios keeps trying to walk him down he would get KO'd. Rios vs Kats and if he beats Kats then we'll talk Rios vs JMM.

It'll be a war but a pretty short one. I reckon Rios by 6th round KO/TKO. Katsidis has trouble stepping up to world level.

id bet the farm on kats. You're crazy my friend. Rios is to much pressure and Katsidis dies out to early.

I love this fight. Rios wins as Katsidis just doesn't have the steam to go 12 rounds. I like him but he dies out after 8 rounds or so and he doesn't have the power to get Rios out of there with one punch.

Would love to see that fight (against Katsidis). And I think Rios wins a slugfest by stoppage...

I'll take Brandon against pretty much any fighter he's stronger than and will stand in front of him. I love Katsidis, but he can't **** with Rios, no lightweight except JMM can and possibly Ali Funeka. I have a hard time picking against JMM and I'm not fure who I'd pick, but JMM fits into my first sentence's description and he gets hit a ton, so it's a tough call. Rios-Katsidis is an all action massacre, but JMM-Rios is an all action FOTY of non stop combinations and possible FOTDecade.

if Bam Bam wins he gets Marquez:boxing:

Please don't let it be MAB.

Brandon Rios vs John Murray would also be a good fight.

Rios can take it better than Katsidis. He is also very strong. Rios is beatable but it would take someone better than Kat to do it.

id bet the farm on kats.

Rios chin is clearly better than Katsidis and that's the difference. Also Rios has much better power so what I see happening is Rios taking whatever Katsidis dishes out, and Rios eventually breaking down Kats and stopping him late.

If Michael Katsidis can beat Robert":sleeping:" Guerrero, many people will want to see that fight. It would be a great fight.
