Matthysse takes rounds off, I don't know maybe people are noticing it but it's obvious he does it too. He did it against both Judah and Alexander, fights he could have won a lot more decisively had he thrown more. Just that I've seen plenty of rounds where Matthysse sort of gladly handed them away. Based on Rios activity and body punching, I'll pick Brandon by UD, it'll be tough though.
I like Mathyesse but he couldn't even knock out Zab Judy, a fight i thought he won as well, so i can't see him KO'ing Rios, good & close fight though, not sure who I'm picking.
He was breaking Judah down and put him on his ass tho!
they should make this fight happen!
would be a good fight. Rios lets his hands go more, but im not to sure how well Rios will take puches from punchers like Matthysse @ 140. I would def like to see it.
Rios would NEVER fight Mathysse.
Rios is a ducker that avoided many fights in the past.
Rios ducked Juan Diaz many times.
Rios ducked Mercito Gesta many times.
Rios ducked Jorge Linares.
Rios ducked Kevin Mitchell.
Rios ducked a Miguel Acosta rematch.
Rios ducked Miguel "El Titere" Vazquez.
Rios would never fight Mathysse.
I think we can all agree that rios never ducked soto tho.:bottle:puto
I think it is a foty caliber type of fight where we would see both fighters hit the ground numberous times sort of like Ortiz Maidana(Ironic that it would be a MExican and Argentinian again). I'd say whoever has the best defense (which none of them really have any) would win the fight.
gotta go with matthysse. i think he can outbox rios and hang with him if it turns into a brawl. i'd go with a decision, but a late tko is possible. war matthysse!! :boxing:
rios would eek out a decision in a war
Rios also said he wants a fighter that's gonna give him a war
that is a FOTY match up right there, maybe even round of the year in there too!!!!
NiceThat's would be sick!
great fight! love em both, cant decide.
I think it would be a war! LOL! Who's that in your picture?
