Brandon Rios vs Michael Katsidis

[Phil Ivey]

lol @ some people just highly overrating Rios, he's a good fighter but I think JMM would school the **** out of him. He would get out boxed and if Rios keeps trying to walk him down he would get KO'd. Rios vs Kats and if he beats Kats then we'll talk Rios vs JMM.

Crazy fight. Rios seems to have a better jaw though and that probably would be the difference.

[Pastrano]

Yes, it would be an awesome fight. Katsidis wins if he fights like he did against Marquez, only a bit smarter. Rios is no JMM. But I give him a fair chance to beat Katsidis as well.

[Chrismart]

Would be a war while it lasted. Katsidis has been in some wars which may catch up on him. Tough one to call.

[Jack_DempseyCSC]

great match up fancy Katsidis and would love him to beat him.

i personally thought rios was trash. he got outboxed the first 4 rounds before acosta got tired. he's lucky he's not in there with a JMM caliber fighter. if he goes in there with maidana he's gone. if he fights kats, a great all out war but too close to call. it's based on chin and punch power.

Perhaps.

Stating that he'd beat Marquez is overrating him. That said you would have to give him a very good chance against any other Lightweight and perhaps a few of the 140ers. I dislike Rios and can't wait for him to get KTFO, I was so happy watching Acosta in cruise control until the knockdown, up until then I really though Rios would get pulled out later in the fight, and as much as I wanted that to happen I can't help but respect Rios, he took everything Acosta through at him, he got his head boxed off for the first 5 or so rounds but found an answer and won. That is the trademark of a world class boxer.

Getting in with Marquez wouldn't be career suicide as some would put it, but it would be a convincing loss. Rios has guts if he takes that fight any time soon.

I'd be looking as Kats,Soto or Diaz.

Hey, Marquez is 37, gonna be 38 this year...time to stop thinking he's invincible. I think someone will break this theory soon.

This would probably be a great fight while it lasted.

I'll take Rios by KO in 8 rounds or less.
