Rios is just a bada$$ mofo he only was really hurt in the 4th and I feel Acosta vs. Rios was kind of actually a close fight in the beginning (lol at Elie's scorecard) but I knew that Acosta was not going to be able to fight the way he was for 12 rounds too much pressure from Rios and he made Acosta crack.
plus considering the level of opposition
Rios comeback>>>>>>>>Lee's

Rios was getting outclassed (even got rocked hard early on) the first 3-4 rounds.. but dude has heart and a granite chin. Both Lee and Mcewan had their moments early on and the skill disparity between both fighters was not as apparent as it was for Rios/Acosta.

Round 2-6 Lee was getting his ass whooped. Rios was getting outclassed for the first four rounds but how many times have we seen a boxer outclassing a brawler but the brawler's pressure cracks the boxer and he can not deal with it similar to Cotto vs. Margarito. TBH throughout that whole Acosta vs. Rios fight I thought Rios was going to win. During round 2-6 I thought Lee literally had no chance because he was not going to ko McEwan.

I think Lee had a bigger comeback because he looked like he had no chance of winning what so ever and Rios was actually landing punches and being active. Rios was getting outclassed big time early in the fight too though so tough call.

No because it wasn't about what great things Lee did to get back in the fight but rather the fact that McEwan gassed. The dude was so gassed it looked like he was gonna feint. His corner was giving him directions but he was so tired and out of it. McEwan lost the fight rather than Lee won it imo.
And I agree, the Rios comeback is probably the best.

i lean towards lee-mcewan than rios-acosta.
mcewan was on his way to a lopsided ud but got tired in the last 2 rounds and caught a big one in the last round.
rios, although he was getting some serious beating early on, he's style and toughness will tell you he's very capable of a comeback and actually he was already doing that even just in the middle rounds.
