JMM vs BAM BAM Rios

[gatorDelux]

If jmm much punishment and looks good in his fight with pac ( win or lose)

what are rios's chances against JMM

or do u guys think rios will move up before there is a demand for that fight?

[Guest]

it well prob be like the diaz fight

[gatorDelux]

i could see that...

it could be a goodboxing lesson if helost and did ok...

i dont think he should fight pac...

If Pac runs through him like everyone is expecting, then i think he be will ripe for the picking for Rios because that would be one war too many, and Rios would bring it even hard than Diaz did. Rios has much more power than Diaz and is a much better in fighter. Even if he fights a good fight against Pac but its still a war, even then i would have a hard time choosing him against Rios. His legs looked pretty old against Kadsitas and Diaz and that's what he needs most.

As much as I'd like to think that JMM would have enough desire to tame a young lion like Rios, it looks very doubtful. For the past few years, JMM's motivation came mainly from his desire to get the 3rd fight with Pac.

I can't see JMM being the same after the Pac fight unless he wins. IMO, Diaz would stop that version of JMM in about 8.

he would end up stopping Rios late in the fight

[gatorDelux]

i think the only way rios wins is if he gets crushed in the pac fight and is damged goods by the time rios gets too him....

but otherwise he would do well IMO maybe lose a 115-113/116-112 decision...

but i think Top Rank would rather have him move up than fight marquez.

[theplayerpimp]

marquez tags him all night long with great combos ending with one of the best uppercuts in the sport, It takes its toll on rios and gets koed diaz style with the uppercut. But rios has a real chance with his power and size

[gatorDelux]

i dont think rios would get ko'd just outboxed.....

but if marquez takes alot of punishment against pac...

i might put my money on rios...

reggardless of the outcome i think it would be a war....

i hope it happens...

Rios and Diaz aren't the same fighter at all. Rios actually packs tons of power in his hands and has a great chin. His style is also a lot more cerebral than Diaz's.

At this point, I think Marquez gets stopped on his feet, or the corner stops the fight late.
