Cosmopolitan Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas - Brandon Rios (32-2-1, 23KOs) returned for the first time since last year's decision loss to Manny Pacquiao, and gutted out a nine round disqualification over Diego Chaves (23-2, 19KOs). The fight was a foul-filled affair.
It was bombs away in the first round. Both fighters came out with bad intentions, throwing caution to the wind and winging hard shots at close range. In the third, Chaves lost a point for excessively hold Rios. Chaves' corner complained the Rios was coming in with his head and Chaves was holding him to avoid head clashes.

Oh please chaves was holding both arms near the elbows the.whole fight. And keith thurman whooped his as.s already.THURMAN whooped many as* by KO and he is undeafeted as one of the most avoided fighter out there,so what's your point?
Anyway when your opponent put his head on your throat every time he attack you have to hold him if you don't want to recieve headbutts all night!
Boxing Officials destroying boxing fans!
This interence and stoppage from Dracula was another bloodsucking example of why boxing fans are lost. Fans have eyes and they can see for themselves. judges and referees need to be scored on a point system from both corners and only the highest point (fairest) officials should officiate the big fights. Stop the cheating in boxing! Even though I wanted to see Rios win, this crap! :boxing:
RIOS was upset about the tougness and boxing ability of CHAVES early in the fight so decided to stay close attacking head-first and obviously provocating a hold from the opponent;the few moments RIOS boxed he took shots from everywhere so he knew he couldn't boxe with the guy and he used his toughness and experience to frustrate CHAVES.
RIOS likes to be the bad ass but tonight he found a more bad ass than him!
CHAVES is a good boxer i hope he will fight someone that want to fight for glory so we'll see a terrific fight not someone ready to do everything to survive his carreer like RIOS did tonight!!!

That and also to hype Thurman, who is obviously good and doesn't need psuedo hype from beating the B-/C+ level Chaves.
I've been getting that vibe as well, it's dumb considering Thurman has shown he can fight. Chaves is a straight scumbag though.
True. Many picked Chaves for an easy win just because they "hate" Rios. TBH Chaves wasn't half of what they expected to see. And some posters have pointed that Chaves was so hypocrite to pretend he was not doing anything wrong every he was warned or got deducted a point. Chaves pretended he was doing an immaculate fight while Rios has to be an ogre.

I find that 'most' people hating on Rios have an agenda and tend to be *****s and Pac haters. Not all of course. Since Rios lost to PAC, these posters try to discredit Rios ...and try to say he's just mediocre competition.
Come on... Chaves was clinching everytime they got close,...he made the fight ugly.
Rios is an honest guy. Eye gouging is a serious offence that has no place in the sport. Reports of a scratched cornea is pretty serious.
Just look at Chaves' behaviour everytime he committed an offence. That was just silly and indirectly proves Chaves was doing some dirty stuff in the clinch.

Never understood why Rios was such a protected fighter. First the robbery vs Abril and now this. Its obvious that they wanted to ensure Rios doesn't take his 3rd loss in a row. Fight was dirty on both sides but two of those point deductions on Chaves were bs. Not saying he wasn't trying to muck it up but i have seen far worse in fights with not even a warning.

No man, I actually like both fighters but the ref. was a joke. It was a rough fight to being with, Rios just has no way of winning and made it a dirty fight, that's ok, within some limits you can make it more of a dirty fight but this was too much. Chaves was coming back with some dirt of his own, but the DQ was completely out of the question.
By those guidelines, Mayweather should get DQ two times per round with all his elbows, eye poking and shoving with the heel of the hand.
A real shame, Chaves shouldnt have been DQ, adn I didnt like that Garcia gave the ref. a pat on the back say "GOOD JOB". That sounded shady as fuk....
ref is clearly biased against chavez...rios fought chavez head-on from the very first round but drakulich just ignored it...it was a dirty fight because the ref is out of control of the fight...i think chavez is ahead in points going into that dq...
