Jesus! They should have stopped that. Pawel didn't need to be taking that ****. He couldn't win it at all. They really, really should have stopped that. Dehydrated, exhausted, nine previous rounds of clean, hard punches to the head. Couldn't have been a better time to stop it. Anyway, Delvin deserved it big time. I thought he won the previous fight pretty well, so I'm glad he got it properly this time.
Anyway, as to Rios/Murray, I don't think Murray could win even with the drain. Rios is just a much better fighter.
Murray got knocked out by Mitchell for crying out loud. He's just not very good. No matter how much Rios is drained, he's just far enough better that Murray would need him to come in to the fight as he was on the weights yesterday. However he's had a full day to recover and will come in pretty fine. He's used to fighting slightly drained and he's fighting a guy that he would normally walk through. It might be that his energy isn't as good as usual, which means he will take longer than 4 rounds to knock him out instead of inside 4 rounds.
Murray doesn't have anything that could trouble Rios, weight drained or not.
