Given Brandon Rios style how long...

[SCtrojansbaby]

There are guys who have had worse defense and a weaker chin then Rios who have lasted until there mid 30s and beyond

[sdcluser]

A lot of time weight gain costs speed/movement making the fighter an easier target no?

[John Connor]

he has an attitude like vargas.... and will go out like vargas

Maybe Rios has not meet anyone with Trinidad's punching power?

age 33 years

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 don"t think they will there is going to be a reunion with the Garcia bros you got to remember they were very close friends sometimes it takes time to heal wounds.

If he takes care of himself and continues to improve he could last quite awhile at the top, but with his style it might require some careful matchmaking.

I think Rios will be around for awhile, from what I've seen he's a tough dude.
