New Rios interview (back to his old self)

I don't think it takes an expert to see when someone isn't disciplined enough to make weight or notice when you look horrible against your opponent. Nice excuses though, Rios. But you still got schooled by Abril

title reminded me of this

Rios is a real ass dude.

Well I must be one of the only guys who thinks Rios will do good without struggling to make the weight. He is a face first brawler but he does have some underrated skills IMO. Pointless debating it, he needs to prove it, but im backing him to get one over Alvarado and if anyone wants a bet, get to the betting section where i have a thread running I'm with ya man, I think Rios will take this. He always looks like a skeleton at weigh ins. I think the move up is gonna be good for him. I expect him to shake things up at 140. Matthysse vs Rios would be amazing!

Rios is an arrogant prick whom i cant stand. He badly lost his last fight but in classic TR fashion a highly controversial decision was given to him and i truly believe he would have lost that fight at any weight. I hope Alvarado KO's him badly and he goes away to hang with his new friend the 'cheater' you sound bitter, did rios knock you out before?

rios is an absolute joke. his team fill his head tellin him hes a real fighter, but in reality the only skill he has is his mouth. he has no chance against any of the guys he talked about. mattyhsse ruins him, alvarado makes him look silly. garcia punishes him. rios has no skills, he has no footwork, he has no defense. he is a poor mans version of ricky hatton, with much much MUCH less skills. cant believe people are supporting him, dude is a clown, a textbook clown!

I love how real Rios is. I think Matthysse and Alvarado knock him out and idk what would happen between Danny Garcia and Rios. October 13th I will be glued to my tv for Rios/Alvarado. Being an outspoken moron doesn't make you real, it makes you a moron. The kid has one brain cell and is a complete tool. As a fighter I can see him struggle at 140, going up in weight as a volume, aggressive, pressure fighter with limited skill is probably one of the most difficult things you can do. Ask Margarito, ask Hatton, ask Castillo, plenty more examples. Great fighters at one weight as they had the sufficient pop, and strength advantage over their opponents. He was not really a great fighter at 135, I do not expect him to be better at 140. Sure he will make weight, but the fighters up there are strong, fast, and that much bigger. They will be able to take his shots, and more importantly Rios will not just be able to walk through their shots. He will get stopped sooner rather than later

I havn't seen Alvarado fight so I don't know about this fight. I do maintain that Rios has never beaten a quality fighter and will lose to the first top shelf fighter he faces. Rios has few boxing skills. Punching power and ineffective aggression alone seldom beats a world class fighter

RIos always slurred like that, their a video where he was like 15 and he still talks the same.

rios is the ****ing man WARRIOS

Has Rios always slurred when he talked? i thought that aswell not a good look

rios is ready this fight should be a classic i like rios tko 9

Matthysse knocks Rios out and Im no ****ing boxing expert. Peterson and Garcia beat him too. Rios weighed 137 against Abril, he didn't look like a drained fighter, and he still looked like **** in that fight. Against Murray he looked like a ghost so I don't fault him for that performance so much. He can make all the excuses he wants for those fights he won't be able to use those for the 140 division if he looks like **** against Alvarado. He acts like a little kid. He thought us fans who obviously don't know **** about boxing were stupid for thinking he lost his last fight. Im no expert, but I dont need a doctor to tell me which way the wind blows. You kidding me? he didn't even make weight and still looked sick. It's pretty bad when you are training to MAKE WEIGHT isntead of training to fight. at 140 he can actually spend camp working on things other than shedding weight now, it'll be much better for him. http://cozzone.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/cozzone_rios_abril_weighin0782.jpg That doesn't look drained to you? This is from the Abril weigh in, 2 pounds over, then 4 lbs over (he weighed in again at 139, and still looked sick)
