Rios put on an incredible performance last night. His pressure is ridiculous, and to do it against a bigger fighter. We all know he's not the most technically sound fighter but dude's got an incredible chin, and heart. Alvarado also is a warrior! Foty in my opinion.
Or Marquez, or Lucas. Lucas beats him to a bloody mask and Marquez just undresses him.
Honestly I don't even know if Marquez could handle that much pressure at his age now. He is a future hof tho so is tht supposed to be an insult? And saying he's a garbage club fighter is dumb, he's undefeated for a reason. If your gna hate bro at least make a legitimate argument.
Rios is the definition of relentlessness.He's limited in some areas but he's fun to watch.He's always gonna be a good pressure fighter looking for that knockout.
Alvarado was getting the dog **** knocked out of him by Prescott until he caught and stopped him. YouTube the fight. Alvarado couldn't find him for most of that fight. Rios already lost to a so so boxer and was given a gift decision not long ago (YouTube the fight) so we have basically seen his ceiling. He is basically a come forward plodder who can go life and death with other come forward plodders and is also easy as **** to outbox. So there ya go. B level fighter...at best.
I saw both of those fights, no need to youtube them. But yea Alvarado was losing to Prescott for the first 6 or 7 rounds. But that's why they go 10 or 12. Prescott faded, Alvarado capitalized.
Rios hardly got out boxed. He got out hugged by a fighter who didn't want to fight. Rios will tear Garcia, Matthysse, and any other top 140 lber up. Rios' inside fighting is tremendous, he's the best inside fighter since JLC and JCC. He has a chin and crazy endurance. He is the real deal.
Wrong there. That's how he fights, he was getting beat up by Acosta too. So Alvarado is no good.? Okay.

Tell me where I'm wrong.
Rios is a garbage club fighter who was getting beat up and stopped a guy who was bloody and battered by Prescott. Rios is and was an entertaining B level fighter. Nothing more.

Go **** yourself with a ****ed dildo, *******.
People get so hung up on perceived skill, technique and defence that they don't appreciate a style such as Rios'. Don't get me wrong, I wish he'd work behind a f-cking jab and move his head a little more but this kid has already been in some classics already - Peterson, Acosta, Alvarado.
It's the same reason I like Maidana and Margarito. Whatever their technical shortcomings, these guys bring it.
Agree with your post, people like to crap on guys like Rios but they are only ignorant to certain dimensions of skills in boxing and see everything as black and white. Yeah the guy has pretty crappy defense, but he does a lot of good things in the ring. The guy throws short, compact punches, he's attacks the body fiercely, and he's an excellent inside fighter. He likes to sit on his punches which is why he's able to generate so much power, unlike a lot of "pure boxers" who look pretty, but throw nothing but pitty patty arm punches.

you can say what you want about the guy, but you can't take away the fact that he's a warrior.
so ****ing fun the watch. i don't want him to get the pac fight though. he stands no chance. I'd rather he fight garcia or mathysse.
