    Face It. It's Only A Matter Of Time Before Rios Is KO'd!

    Brandon Rios style is tailor made for power punchers like Maidana, Matthysse, Ortiz, and Pacquiao. Rios stands directly in front of you with no head movement and likes to trade shots. Is this exciting? Yes, absolutely. Made for disaster? Absolutely.

    Top Rank has done an awesome job of picking his opponents and bringing him up slowly. But as soon as Rios is in with a ****er, not coming off a loss, Rios will be KO'd Hatton style. Trust me.

      I thought Acosta and Antillon hurt him and those guys were smaller than him. Wait till he comes up to 140-147, he will get knocked out.

        Not if he stays at 135.When he moves up though,I can see that happening.

          He has showed a good chin (granted, against less than stellar opposition)

          But he has also shown he can be hurt to the body

            It's going to take an iron-chinned with a massive punch guy. Maybe Matthysse at 140?

              He might become stronger and take shots better at 140.

              We don't know. Should be fun.

                I dont know if he will get KO'd but I see him losing by decision. I dont get all the Rios hype, everyone is on his bandwagon and proclaiming him to be the next ATG.

                Im not sold, I think Canelo has a much brighter future and has more natural boxing talent than Rios.

                  just about to say that...perhaps the kid isn't showing full potential by shrinking down to 135...let's see what happens when he steps up

                    interesting to know god is a fan of rios,

                    anyways, i don't think rios will get stopped anytime soon. there's literally no one at 135 imo who can stop him. there's decent guys at 140, but even then, i doubt he's ktfo or anything. perhaps 147 is where he'll suffer that outcome but that's really a long way to go. also, he's still young and imo is still developing, so we obviously haven't seen the best rios (or strongest)
