    Given Brandon Rios style how long...

    Do you think his boxing career will last. Do you think he is being brought up too fast or just right? He is a young exciting fighter but I hate to say it, I don't think he has a long career because of his action packed style.

    Not saying he fights like JLC but he had a long career and had 0 defense

      I think he will be peaking at about 31 to 33 years of age. After that, I think he will be slowing down. Same with my favorite fighter, Ortiz.

      Can't wait till they meet in the ring!!

        I think he's a knock out waiting to happen especially if he moves up.

          30? That's six years from now. He is gonna age much more w/o better D. That six years is gonna be 9.

            I feel the same way. I don't think he can go over 140 cause he will get ko'd. But he is already having problems making 135 and he is still very young. Can't wait to see what happens.

              His style isn't friendly towards longevity, but fighters with bad defense have had lengthy careers in some cases. I don't think Rios will be around for a long time though.

                  He's good at what he does, that's being a come forward fighter, he's a really good come forward fighter with a seemingly good chin. The shots he took from a strong puncher like Acosta were vicious and he took them and kept coming. I think he's the type that every time he loses, he will lose by TKO, because he disregards defense so much.

                    If anything, making 135 has to be hurting his career as well. I think he'll improve as he moves up, much like Ortiz did, much like Cotto did.
