Comments Thread For: Brandon Rios Arrives With A Vengeance

I agree with this one. JMM has the edge but not impossible for Rios to beat him.

To add to what I was saying before, my take is that the longer it takes for the fight to happen, the greater chance Rios has of winning.

If it happened next, I'd favor Marquez at this point, though that's not to say that he can't get got at this stage of his career. But a year from now, or perhaps even by year's end - I love Rios' chances and would make him a very live underdog.

Gotta give Rios credit. He hung in and chopped Acosta down.
Very exciting stanzas all the way through.

Rios reminds me of an '80's lightweight named Kenny '**** ****' Bogner.
The kid was aggressive, tough and durable. The problem was that he was also very easy to hit.
This is where Rios is going to have some problems.
I don't anticipate Arum putting him in too tough for awhile.
The first real power puncher Brandon faces will put him to sleep just as Bogner was rendered unconcious by the great Livingstone Bramble.

But for today, the youth drenched Rios showed some true grit and dropped his annoying bull***t.
