Okay Brandon just stop, we all know Chaves fought dirty but now he is making up lies.
He said look at my face I have no marks or bruises when Chaves fought me, and he said he had a swollen eye when Pac fought him.
But didn't Brandon say after the Pacquiao fight that Pac never hurt him.
Chaves is a hard hitter who has more knockouts than Pac, so all of a sudden Pac hits harder than a known puncher at 147?
Anyone else think Rios is just saying this out of spite because of how dirty chaves fought him?
Everytime Rios smiles it means he felt it. He does just like Margo used to do. Pac had Rios so busy and the angles he was giving him Brandon just might have not seen all the punches that he was getting hit with.
Rios never looked particularly bothered by anything Chaves hit him with.
Pac had him wilting behind his gloves and dead on his feet the last few rounds. If Pac had gone at Rios during the championship rounds, he probably would have stopped Rios.
He definitely would have.
08-09 Pacquaio stops him 100%.

I would believe that Pac does hit harder but I think Rios was just being "spiteful" as Hectari put it when he said that Chaves "hits weak". From what I recall he hit Rios with some pretty hard shots.
yeah but he told garcia his power was "nada" after the first round!!
before the dude started to unravel mentally and start to clinch. rios had no spite for him at that time !!!
Truth or not, i don't care..but what i am laughing at is how people are saying" HE HAS BEEN IN WITH BOTH HE SHOULD KNOW"...but when Rosado says Quillin is more heavy handed then GGG he is called a lier even tho he has been in with both
Rosado was so SURE that Quillin hit harder he claimed GGG's gloves were tampered with..
Cmon Larry!
rios was definitekly hurt vs pacquiao, on numerous occassions
didn't see him hurt once vs chaves, chaves didn't land many great shots though, one or two flush right hands, otherwise nothing to sweep the legs off you
I was just watching this "fight" again.
It was SO clear Rios knew he had no chance of winning this fight.
1) Tripping chaves with his foot in round 1
2)Throwing Chaves again in round 5. Only then did Chaves bring him down along with him the next time Rios did that.
3)Constant headbutting from Rios
4)Constant rabbit punching from Rios
5)Rios catching Chaves arms and twisting them.
I mean, Cahves was respnding with dirt of his own but Rios knew he had no other way of winning this fight.

Come on man, he went straight to the hospital after the fight, and he was getting hit with pretty brutal punches. That he can stand there while getting brain damaged doesnt change that. I think they stopped the fight just in time. In the last couple rounds Chaves was starting to box better and there was no way Rios would have won that fight.
I get it that he needed the win, but for all the dirty fighting on both sides of that fight, nothing was as dirty as having Chaves DQ just to have Rios career. That's that. Rios is tough and goes forward but has no boxing ability. I much rather watch Chaves fight again than Rios. Its a shame for Rios, but he's done, he just cant box worth.
Chaves landed a pretty wicked DDT where Rios landed on his head. I don't see how we're expected to buy into the Chaves power puncher hype when he's never knocked down anyone worthy mentioning.
Rios was walking forward and through Chaves punches because he knew he had no choice after his poor performance against Pac, he was trying to make up for it, and he was hurt bad, when he fought Pac he was never hurt he even said it his pride and ego was more hurt than anything post Pacquiao.
He walks forward because that's the only thing he knows how to do. When Robert Garcia says getting punched is Rios style, that's BS, its no ones "style", its him not being good. Brandon is tough, strong, and likeable, but he sucks. Its only because of an iron chin and good people aroudn him that he got this far. Anyone that cares for him should be planning on retireing rather than keep eating punches like that. Rios may die on his feet becuase he's that kind of guy, but Chaves was giving him a beating.
Just by watching Rios in the Chaves fight, he never looked hurt not one time. Against Pac he wasn't necessarily hurt, but you can see he was stunned a few times from the speed of the shots.
I believe Rios, he is a stand up guy and not one to BS. I can't remember watching a fighter get hit low MULTIPLE times and not milk it. He was hit that way by Peterson and didn't want to do what 99% of all boxers do.
Since that moment he's gotten my respect. All you computer tough guys talk sh1t about Rios, but the man is a warrior and just wants to fight. I will pay to see him every time.
Rios has balls and he's a very likeable guy, but besides being as tough as nails hes a punching bag. Dont sit there telling me Chaves wasnt outboxing him and clearly winning that fight man.
People talk about excessive clinching should watch Alexander vs Maidana, or 99% of mayweather fights.
