Comments Thread For: Brandon Rios Stops Miguel Acosta In Ten

[AP♠]

I'll probably get either red Kd or flamed by some Brits for saying this, but I think Rios would just absolutely stomp a mud hole in Khan's ass due to the styles. I think Rios might even be capable of beating everybody at 140. I was a little bit reserved on my judgement about him even though I already knew he was a good fighter. I just didn't form the kind of opinion about him being elite based on his win over Peterson because I don't really have a high opinion of Peterson. But this win over Acosta proves he's legit.

for once i agree with you

If rios pummels maidana he's beyond legit

Las Vegas NV- In the evening's main event at the Palms Casino, Brandon Rios (27-0-1) completed his ascension to superstar status by wrestling the WBA lightweight title from Miguel Acosta (28-4-2) with a tenth round knockout in an early contender for Fight of the Year. [Click Here To Read More]

I used to see glimpses of Rios in the past, along with Ortiz. I would have never guessed that Rios would have surpassed Vic in terms of success. Just goes to show how much of this sport is mental and how important it is. Rios could still use some better defensive habits applied to his fight game though. He could some defense and/or a more efficient eye for countering.

Rios vs. Katsidis by the end of the year, please!

Rios vs. Katsidis by the end of the year, please!

katsidis is a warrior no doubt but he's been exposed 1 to many times. check it: shot casamayor, feather fist diaz, old but great marquez...etc and rios is only 24 years old

Like I said before, Rios showed he has a hell of a chin & is relentless & just keeps on coming forward landing hard shots & trying to wear his opponents down(Like he just did against Acosta) & WILL give it his ALL to win!! He is a true WARRIOR!! & EARNED very well this victory against Acosta in a GREAT FIGHT... Now I never seen the IBF lightweight champ fight(Miguel Vazquez), so I can't say anything about him, but even thou Rios is 1 hell of a brawler, I don't think he could beat Juan Manuel Marquez, Marquez is Acosta TIMES 2 upgraded to the max & that would equal defeat for Rios!!! At 135lbs Rios will EAT UP Humberto Soto, Antillon, DeMarco & Guerrero & a fight against another Warrior Katsidis I see it as a toss up. but HE SHOULD definitely stay away from Marquez(& since Marquez is a Golden Boy fighter, I'm pretty sure GREEDY SENILE PARASITE Arum will just keep him away from that fight)..Now at 140lbs there's another relentless fighter named Maidana that a fight between him & Rios would be like 2 cavemen bashing their heads with clubs!! & Bradley is another force to be reckoned with which I'm pretty sure has the condition & smarts to beat Rios & even thou I'm NOT a Khan fan, I gotta say that Khan showed a lot of will & heart against Maidana(who's a lot like Rios) & I don't see Rios beating Khan & against Victor Ortiz will be very interesting, especially with the grudge there is between them..But all those would make GREAT fights against Rios just because of Rios style... But just like Marquez & Ortiz, Maidana, Guerrero are all Golden Boy fighters, so unfortunately I don't see those fights happening any time soon..

Rios can definitely **** with 140 pounders, imagine if Khan had to deal with that relentless pressure with his chin and power
