      Brandon "Bam Bam" Rios is what happened to him.

        Hey (lol) that's why I'm taking Rios,but Khan is a bad boy too..It's not gonna be easy bro,and Khan has power we seen Acosta wobble Rio's..But I stick with my pick for now,it would be Rio's

          I have to agree with some of you guys. Acosta was boxing really well going backwards, Rios relentless pressure just got to him and wore him down.

              I say it depends on if Rios brings his power up with him..

                Acosta never recovered from the first knockdown. He said pretty much that in the post fight interview.

                  rios' pressure isn't smart.

                  khan isn't slick.

                  this would be a great fight tho.

                    agreed.

                    khan's cardio might be better tho.
