Comments Thread For: Rios Jabs Khan, Willing To Face Bradley For Pacquiao

[richardt]

Rios would knock out Bradley. IF Bradley thinks Holt had power in that counter hook, he would find out how much more damaging Rios's power is. He would have Bradley running for his life.....or using his head to butt yet another fighter. I don't think any fighter has headbutt more fighters in a row than Bradley.

[Rome-By-Ko]

Who has Bradley beaten that has the mental toughness of Maidana?

Peterson...

[AKATheMack]

I dont even care if Rios loses hes got balls.

[uoykcuf]

Peterson...

Is that the Peterson who came back to get a draw with Ortiz? I think I felt Ortiz won that fight by a point or two but either way Peterson did show alot of determination coming back into that fight so I wasn't mad with a draw.

ríos is all wrong for khan
all wrong

he's chino maidana with a real skillet that he just ignores to implement his offense

chino has no other dimensions
ríos does


i'm not a huge fan of the way rios behaves outside of the ring (mainly from his mocking of freddie roach)
but in the ring he's everything that i value in prizefighters
he's got the skills and a base of sound boxing from robert garcia and the hard work they've put in
and he pushes the fight.
he's in phenominal condition
and i have no reason to believe that he will be any less effective going against 140 leers
they still wont be able to set their feet and trade with him
his chin is too sturdy

the way to beat him would be to miguel accosta him (without the fade)
or robert guererro him (without a lapse in the late rounds that he's known for that i think would get guerrero kayo'd)

and pick your spots to score your points and gain respect

and then lead him around the ring all night and pop him with the jab.

if you stand and trade, you're done! (unless you're name is chino maidana or lucas mathysse with his faster hands and power with straight short punches)
if you try and hold.. good luck to you
you're going to get clubbed out on your feet with a free hand



that's not how khan fights
he moves around the ring to get a chance to lunge in and throw combinations
he'd probably end up backing up against a man as strong and durable as rios
and he'd be a sitting duck for rios power and bodypunching (and those mean ****ing uppercuts, not those hercules bolos that maidana was thawing)

lets not forget
a much lesser skilled fighter than rios, without anywhere near the amateur experience, was almost able to get khan out of there
if steve smoger reffed that fight khan would have been knocked out
anybody in boxing will tell you that



bam bam kayo in the 9th
probably a towel from roach

I would like for rios to stay at lightweight and get fights with katsidis,the
winner of demarco-linares,Gesta,molina.

[Sheppirino]

Rios is a paper champion who beat a guy who got knocked out twice before, the only reason he is considered a top lw is because all the best guys have left the division. Katsidis beats him but Arum never makes that fight.....

Katsidis would get murdered against Rios. You can't be serious. I like Katsidis's style since he always comes to fight but that style against Rios would probably end his career.

Now can Rios beat Khan? That's very unlikely. I don't think Rios's pressure style would work against him. Bradley? I don't know. I have to see how Rios looks at 140 before I can make any kind of prediction on that.

Maidana has a decent ameteur record, he was a bronze medalist in the world ameteur championships.

[Outworn]

Khan and Bradley are some of the fighters that Rios should talk shit about, not the still green Gesta. I think it wouldnt be long before Rios goes up to light welterweight. Rios-Khan or Rios-Bradley sound nice..

[richardt]

Bradley isn't going to fight ANYONE who is a threat like Rios while trying to hold out for a Pac/May fight. He will be waiting a long time then.
