    Rios a throwback?

    After watching Brandons superb display against antillon at the weekend. I have to say Rios is sure as hell a throwback mexican warrior from years back. The heart with which this man fights is unreal, he will literally go to war and not take a backward step until he has won. Boxing needs guys like Rios who puts it all on the line and entertains the fans with every fight.

    I hope arum lines up some big money fights for this guy soon, the way rios fights means he will not grow old well so needs to make as much money as possible before he retires.

    On a side note, him vs Amir khan at the end of the year or early next year would be a dream fight. Both superb fighters and world champs going at it. It would be a pick'em fight and I for one cannot predict who will win.

        Would be Karma if Rios did retire after a few more years of wars and developed parkinsons disease after taking the piss out of Freddie Roach for having it.

          he didn't know roach had parkinsons. He was ingnorant to the fact. He just thought roach had a speech impediment and was a ******.

              The thing is with Rios is he has time to grow. He has some natural abilities that he has relied on but he's getting better and better in the gym.

              His accuracy is ***in sick, that's something that is hard to teach. He can get better and he also has a very good jab WHEN he decides to use it.

                I would love for Rios to improve his defense some. But damn that dude can flat out fight. Rios can go a long way if stays on the right path and keeps on working on his craft.

                I also really liked that Molina dude who beat Cintron. Good hard working fighter who just brought it.

                I loved the fights this weekend skilled action fights. Not just professionals throwing punches like 2 drunks who just left the club fighting over some hoe!!!

                    I don't consider Brandon Rios a world champion, JJM is the true WBA champion. I'm a fan of his though and really enjoy his fights.
