Rios is a slow starter

[Pastrano]

And only people with solid chins can afford to be that. But maybe he should try changing that habit, coz it has cost him some rounds. If he happens upon the same type of guy like Ortiz did, Lamont Peterson, he might get robbed as well.

Slow starter usually just means focusing on the body early. How ever Rios showed against Antillion that he can adapt

[New England]

he's the quintessential pressure oriented puncher

those guys generally start slow


it takes a while to convince your opponent that you're going to be making the ring a lot smaller than he's used to tonight

[Russian Crushin]

Its not that he start slow, its just that the other fighter hasnt been broken down yet
