Same height, Robert has slightly longer arms.
Rios probably hits harder and Robert is a bit faster.
Who Wins?
Great fight; can't say. Rios doesn't seem like he belongs at 47 the was Guerrero does.
What makes you say that? He only fought Pac at welter, didnt go life and death with far fringe dudes like Aydin and Kamegai. Guerreros first fight at welter he was 150 fight night. Rios last fight at jr welter he was 160 fight night
Serious question. For those saying that IF Robert boxes Rios, he wins a easy decision...then why didn't he box last night? Why didn't he box against Berto?
Because he can't. Maybe once upon a time, but he is what he is. And he's essentially Rios now for all intents and purposes. He's a phone booth brawler today. He didn't get his face beat in last night "for the fans". It's just the way he fights.
The only people who want to believe that Robert is some superior boxer to Rios are Floyd fans who are desperately clinging to the idea that the Floyd/Guerrero fight was a credible win for FMJ. For the rest in reality -- Robert Guerrero IS Brandon Rios.
A....****ing...men. People are trying build up Floyd's win over Guerrero and downplay PAC's win over Rios methinks
Guerrero has no power at any weight. Couldnt drop shot Casamayor, c level Aydin, Kamegai etc. Rios would kill those dudes, so would Alvarado
He still has more boxing ability and is smarter than Rios. Guerrero is a C level fighter Rios is a D level fighter, that's just what I think. Rios is tough as hell and he would kick my ass I'm sure, but in this fight I'm just going to go with the more versatile fighter. Guerrero can simply do more things and Rios can't adjust it's as simple as that.
I'll have to go with Guerrero. Guerrero, like Rios, has plenty of heart and a good chin so Rios doesn't have much advantage going into the fight. I say Guerrero outworks him throughout the entire fight and wins a decision. I see Rios maybe winning three or four rounds and the rest of the fight Guerrero easily outworks him.
hellish fight.
guerrero's career won't last long with fights like the ones he was in with japanese kamegai.
votet guerrero. that fight would be a freaking scary war. i don't think guerrero has the legs to box the way he should, but he'll still keep rios turning some. guerrero has more skill, just as much pop, and just as good of a chin.
scary fight. that would be a fighg of the year, not the mismatch against that brave japanese guy,
He was only winning at 135 because he was so much bigger than most other guys at 135. At 147 he isn't sh*t Guerrero I think has at least some pop at 147, hurting Alvarado obviously isn't that hard to do.

Nowhere as bad as Aydin and Kamegai who gave Guerrero all he could handle

I went with Guerrero because well... neither one is a great fighter but Rios just flat out f*cking sucks.

He doesn't box or win wide UDs over the likes of Kamegai or Aydin, who Rios would brutalize
Funny how people forget even Showtime last night made a point to cover up the fact he got touched up/struggled with Aydin and now Kamegai who are mid-level guys.

You guys are kidding, right? Rios is about as limited of a fighter as you can get. If Guerrero boxes him, he wins a wide UD.
