Comments Thread For: Photos: Miguel Acosta in Great Shape, Aims To KO Rios

[americanbot]

If i remember correctly he was loosing that fight till the ko. And the ko was a product of antillons way of fighting. He hunches over a lot and is always open to the uppercut which is what acosta used and knocked him out. Rios doesnt do that and seems to have a great chin. Rios by ko.

the fight was competitive up in till the KO....

also...rios does exactly that. he bends down just like Antillon....open for the uppercut & what ever else comes his way.

to be honset rios is just a slower version of antillion in my opinion....

I think rios is a slower but bigger version of antillion.

Yea he is way bigger. And hits harder maybe a tad slower but still huge and that will pull him thru like in with petterson.

I havent seen the fight in a while i was watching on a stream but if i remember correctly he was winning not easly but was clearly landing better shots the stream cut off and i was surprised at the result at the end. But rios does not bend over as much as antillon does. Plus he is way taller and bigger and not as open to the uppercut like antillon is.

he's bigger but he's slower. i don't think he is as mentally strong as antillion ether....i think that when a guy starts to move on rios he gets discouraged. for some reason i do not think that rios would have been able to take the combos soto was dishing out....i think that rios style is like antillions but everything else (apart from power) is down graded. that includes how easy it is to hit him.....the kid just walks into shots.....

but we will see......

nether guy was winning. antillion was pressing & acosta was moving. the fight was sloppy & dirty at times too. acosta had seemed to dial in with some nice counters which caught up to antillion & eventually knocked him out.....thats how the fight went. rios bends over as much as antillion & even worse he walks in with his chin wide in the air. (antillion has his hands up when he walks in compared to rios) rios is a hell of alot easier to hit.....

No the knock out was the product of a perfect upper cut. And yea rios is practically a margarito type of fighter who doest care if he gets hit as long as he lands his. And he makes his punches counts and puts his whole body into his shots he also throws when you throw which is when you get caught but he has shown his chin holds up.

Rios is there to be hit. he reminds me of margarito. He'll take 2 shots to land 1. if acosta doesn't get intimidated by rios' pressure he will have a good chance of knocking rios out.
