      Great fight! Brandon over came adversity, rock solid chin, & comes forward w some crushing power, the signature of a Mexican warrior! He's prob the 2nd best lightweight in the division right under Marquez. However he looked like he struggled to make weight, i wonder how many fights he has left at lightweight..

                  Props to Rios. it was a great fight. He hung in there and pull out the win. I like that he doesn't sugar coat anything he says. He says what he feels, even though he says some stuff that may offend others at times, he is always true to who he is. I like him as a fighter but he diffinitely needs to work on some defense. i think he gets hit way too much. He wont have a long career if he gets his brain ****** like that in every fight.

                    acosta needed to keep going to the body, that's how you stop someone as relentless as rios and other pressure fighters.
