    How long can Rios stay at 135?

    He's blowing up 15 pounds after the weigh-ins.

    If he's forced to move up, can he hang with the guys at 140?

    Maidana, Peterson, Alexander, Bradley, Ortiz, Khan.

    Much credit to Rios for the incredible fight he put on tonight.

    should at least get 2 more fights... 1 against the urbano/soto winner, and then a fight against jmm if possible.

    then he can move up to 140 lbs and fight maidana... damn that would be an awesome fight.

        Acutally his fight with Omri Lowther was at 140 as were some of his past scraps, he's dabbled there quite a bit and I'd bet that next year will be there full time maybe after a Soto fight in late summer then an end of the year fight with JMM...

          I'd say Rios has 3-4 fights left at 135.

          A lot of people say they wanna see Rios-Ortiz at 140. Let's not forget Ortiz blew up 15 pounds when he fought Peterson too.
