Abril-Rios

yes he ate a twinkie instead of trying to make weight, the guy have a lot of heart but he is a gold glove, he catches everything thrown at him. Lmao You kill me sometimes, bro! :lol1: Anyway...there was nothing close about that fight. Abril defeated Rios completely and conclusively. The gap in skill between those two is stark. That's not going to change. Maybe Brandon was drained against Richard, but he's been drained before and he did okay. The fact is, however, that Rios came into the fight overweight. "Bam Bam" had a little help Abril didn't have, in the form of a few extra pounds. It'd be cool with me if there were a rematch; but it would probably be a replay of the first bout, perhaps with a little more action. I could see Rios trying to press the fight more, but getting frustrated every step of the way.

Scorecard and analysis: (I skipped in between rounds) 1. Abril 2. Abril 3. Rios 4. Abril 5. Rios 6. Abril 7. Abril 8. Abril 9. Abril 10.Abril 11.Abril 12.Abril Abril was robbed badly, terrible decision. I had Rios winning 2 rounds, although could have won 3 or possibly 4 at very most. BUT.. Rios was clearly weight-drained and I didn't think Abril was all that great. It was a sloppy fight, lots of holding, hitting and grabbing behind the head. Much of the time Abril didn't do shit, he just held on and stood in the pocket to let Rios whale on his left arm. The commentators were biased as hell towards Abril. My opinion, while I think Abril can give Rios problems regardless, Rios could very well stop him if not weight drained. Abril does not have the power to keep Rios off of him. Abril does have a decent power and when he sits on them he can hurt anybody, he doesn't do it often though

I've just checked on something as it came back to me and I was right, he weighed 2lbs over originally, he came back to the scales and was 4lbs over! He weighed 139 on the last attempt, don't believe me hit it up on Google. yes he ate a twinkie instead of trying to make weight, the guy have a lot of heart but he is a gold glove, he catches everything thrown at him.

Agree with you 100 percent. Abril made it a sloppy fight. I hope the rematch is made at 140 or 147. Let's see if Abril can hold on for his life..

I agree Rios was weight drained and trained to make weight instead of training for Abril. I believeRioscan take him out at jww.

Dan Rafael ‏ @danrafaelespn Close Castillo, er, Rios came back and was 139. Official weight goes down 137. He can't win title. That's 2 fights in row he blows weight.

Here.... ANDRE WARD SURPRISED ON BRANDON RIOS’ VICTORY OVER RICHARD ABRIL – BOXING NEWS (1) (0) Posted By: Ashley White Category: Boxing News Andre Ward, the WBA and WBC super middleweight fighter, was highly surprised over the match results of Brandon Rios vs. Richard Abril. The fight which saw Abril completely dominating Rios, ended up with Rios as victor. Not only Ward, fans and other fighters were shocked over the results. Social media was flooded with comments and posts claiming the decision being unjust. Ward, through his Twitter account, said, “I’m shocked!! Absolutely shocked!!! This is what hurts our sport!!! Feel bad for Abril!!” Both the judges had Rios as winner on the scorecards. Judge Jerry Roth scored the fight 116-112 while judge Glenn Trowbridge scored it as 115-113. Both the judges had Rios on the higher end, which definitely was a point of frustration for Abril who gave his best during the fight. Throughout the fight, we saw Abril in control while Rios was having trouble in reach Abril. In addition, since Rios could not make weight at 135 lbs (was 139 lbs), he looked more like a loser than a winner. Even after being 4 lbs heavier than required, Rios could not do much in the ring. Right after Rios was announced as the winner, fans and fighters across the globe showed their disappointment over the decision. However, since Rios could not make weight at 135 lbs, he was unable to qualify for the winner’s bonus of $50,000. As Ward has put it, the decision was a disappointment for the boxing industry. Ward is currently trying to make a comeback on June 2 in Oakland, California. However, nothing regarding his opponent or his bout has been revealed yet. He is among the top boxers of today with a top-notch profile. Recently in an interview, Ward said that he wants to fight Lucian Bute but Bute’s camp was not up for the match. Things between Bute and Ward got serious after Bute and his promoter claimed that Ward was trying to duck them. In his previous interview, expressing his amusement over Bute’s reaction, Ward said, “I was disappointed. Bute and his promoter were screaming and yelling that I was ducking them, then they go and make a two-fight deal with Froch where if he loses, he takes Froch back to Canada? I didn't understand that. I was never ducking him, I just wanted to build up the fight.”

I've just checked on something as it came back to me and I was right, he weighed 2lbs over originally, he came back to the scales and was 4lbs over! He weighed 139 on the last attempt, don't believe me hit it up on Google.
