Comments Thread For: Brandon Rios: Bring on Amir Khan and Marcos Maidana

[the mesiah]

if they end up really making ponce/gamboa happen , I can see it maybe possibly causing a nice snowball effect in trickling down to the other fighters in both gbp/top rank to really seriously making these type of matchups available.that maidana/rios fight would be something .

Ponce can pull upset off. The only problem I have with this fight even tho I'd like ponce/gamboa to happen is that I like both fighters... I'd favor Gamboa but I think Ponce can do things to bother Gamboa's rhythm. Ponce is not the same Ponce who lost to Juanma. His defense is much better now.

I don't want to see Rios fight Khan.

I'd much prefer him to fight Maidanna or Matthysse right now.

I'd be lying if I said rios isn't the truth.he's a problem for khan.maidana/rios is the fight to be made.maidana should collect a belt first to make the fight interesting

it would be interesting ,but in the end , ponce is super slow and I could see him Get countered like crazy if they do end up meeting in September like they "plan ",

isnt khan moving up to 147 after the judah fight?? (assuming he wins of course). rios maidana would be ****ing amazinggg

[Hiei]

all rios would need to do is land 1 punch of a mere con and it's Zzzz time he knocked down acosta with a jab!

Khan beats him. It would be a tough fight for Khan but he would beat him.

The strength of Rios is one of his best assets at 135. At 140, Khan is one of the biggest, strongest and definitely the fastest fighter.

It's one thing to out-fight a solid 135 fighter but moving up to 140 and fighting Khan straight away is a whole different story.

I prefer Rios-Maidana. My money would be on Rios if that fight happens.

Maidana would whoop rios's ass, that fight HAS to happen!!!! It would be all fireworks from the word go. Two warriors who don't back down, the build up would be great. I'd pay 60 bucks to see it and be happy handing my money over. I don't know about khan, I think he'd out box rios but hey who knows. Brandon looked great last night and I'm not really sold on khan, maybe I'm just buying into his hype without knowing it. Anyway Maidana rios would be a much better fight, so that should come first. Winner can chase khan and the big money to 147 if they want.
