What are Antillion's chances against Brandon Rios?

[IronDanHamza]

Rios has a heckuva beard so the 'lucky punch' angle gets diminished

'Lucky punches' don't exist in my opinion. This is a sport where the aim is to punch the other in the face. 'Punching' is the absolute epitome of what the sport is.

If someone lands a punch and it happens to knock out the other, it's not lucky, it's just too bad.

But to your point; Brandon's whiskers are pretty good, as is his heart. Antillon isn't going to stop Rios with a single punch, or at all IMO.

Can he outbrawl Brandon to a Descion? I doubt it. What you think?

Could you see Antillon being stopped at all?

rios is to big for antillion. only ppl in that division that will beat Rios is Guerrero and jmm.

Don't even think that TBH.

Rios is so big it's hard to see Antillon winning, considering they fight the same.

Guerrero isn't a lightweight anymore. He's going to stay at 140...Or atleast that's what I've heard. I think he's going to be a sleeper in that weight class. I expect him to outbox Maidana and get a title shot soon after.

JMM has the best chance, ATM. But he's a small lightweight as it is and he has slowed down a bit. Plus who knows if he ever goes back to lightweight after the Pac fight.

Soto is also moving up to 140...

It looks like Rios is gonna be the guy to beat at lightweight soon(If he isn't already).

Chin is only applied if you see the punch coming, you can have best chin in world but if you relaxed and dont see the punch coming then you going to sleep regardless.

I dont see Rios losing tho, unless its a fluke cut or a flash KD followed by a real KO. But like I said maybe 20% chance and im being generous.

Acosta landed some bombs that Rios didnt see coming

im with you man...chips are stacked against Antillon but we know he isnt going out without a fight...THAT is why this fight got me to forget the Williams card on HBO

yea the fact is some fighters have the right combination of good chin and heart so that even when they are hit with stuff they dont see, they take it well. margarito is a good example of this. i doubt he sees half of the **** that hits him, but he takes it well for some reason. rios seems to be that type of fighter as well

i kno he isnt. but imo he should have stayed down there and cleaned house. imo he could beat just about any fighter in that division including rios.
