Rios vs. Demarco???

[4Corners]

For the life of me i couldn't see Demarco beating Rios. Hes not knocking him out and hes not stopping him from getting in on that lean skinny body either. I would love to see that fight though.

Agree. I think Rios stops him in the middle rounds (maybe 6-7), but mainly because Demarco is willing to trade, and that would NOT work out against Rios, who would punish him.

Guerrero would be interesting, mainly because Guerrero is good as well, and can box more.

Assumming Guerrero comes back next year fine, who would you favor in a Rios-Guerrero fight??? I'd still pick Rios, but I'd be rooting slightly for guerrero.

I think the Guerrero fight would be more competitive because as you said, hes a better boxer than Demarco and uses distance a lot better. That being said, i see Rios pulling that one out late. Guerrero likes to trade too much as well and has problems sticking to a disciplined game plan. He couldn't keep Salido off of him, and Rios is a better in fighter than Orlando, hits much harder and pressures more. Guerrero's body would be an inviting target IMO.

Considering he wasn't too damaged from the Rios KO, Acosta takes that fight handily IMO. When they were showing Demarco on under cards of big fights on show-time, there were a lot of fighters that he was expected to run through, and he ended up having to score come from behind KO's. I never thought he was much. For someone who is as tall as he is, he doesn't seem to have an effective jab or good movement. Acosta has good wins at that weight and is underrated, its just a shame he had to run into someone like Rios. In fact, based on styles, Acosta would give Marquez massive fits IMO, if not pull the upset. Hes a very fast, crafty boxer with good movement and power in either hand.
