    He started slow, and was getting hit often. Which is not surprising when a fighter is a pressure/stalking type fighter. He was landing here and there early, but not nearly as often, but those shots were taking their toll on Acosta. It wasn't until the middle of the fight that Rios started to take over and really started handling business. This reminded of a Chavez fight in that way. A really slow start followed by an eventual takeover.

            Terrible fight Rios would not engage at all he kept running the whole fight and barely threw any punches.

              Yup, only threw 3 punches.

              All three resulted in knockdowns
              .

                    This guy has the whole fight on his page (there's 4 parts)



                    Good fight, good knockout. Rios had him sleeping in the corner.
