Rios was avg tonight aGAINST A SUB -PAR FIGHTER... He didn't look good at all, looked slow at times... Delvin, i give this guy major props to fight at 154 against Wolak again and just outbox him was amazing... Jones, Im not convinced on this kid yet, I thought he would easily beat Lujan from all the hype that has been surrounding him...BUt guess not...

Cong**** to Delvin on a great fight & a great victory to redeem himself from the 1st fight(which I thought he won)..& Wolak is ******ed the way he just took them shots especially at the end & STILL STAYED ON HIS FEET TRYING TO FIGHT BACK!!Wolak was like a human "Weeble Wobble" that U keep on hitting & still stays up!!

I don't care how much crazy S H I T Brandon Rios talks, as a boxing fan U gotta love the guy cause he is definitely NOT normal!!! He comes in the day before the fight all dehydrated & doesn't make the weight & according to some hasn't even been eating rite or drinking the amount of fluids necessary for days & YET MANAGES TO BUST UP HIS OPPONENT & THROW OVER 1,000 PUNCHES IN 11 ROUNDS FOR A TKO VICTORY!!!

rios aint shiiiit...

standing there no movement, no footwork, looked average against a subpar

fighter...

cant wait for him to step up and get his block knocked off against decent competition


calling rios ordinary is a complement

Murray's face was a mess.

Rodriguez-Wolak was a hell of a fight. Cong**** to Delvin on that great performance.

Rios looked weak as hell, I was stunned at his performance, had he been 100% he would have gotten the job done before the 6 or 7th round. Rodriguez-Wolak also delivered, as a whole it was a good night of boxing. Mike Jones however disappointed.

Try to fight if you haven't eaten well for a few days. I think Robert Garcia is horrible. How the **** does he Margarito continue with the fight? Pretty ******. Does he give a **** about his fighter's health?

I see Rios becoming a serious force at Jr WW, if he's that strong at LW having to kill himself to make weight, I can't imagine how strong he'll be at 140. I predict it's gonna be similar to Cotto and Ortiz's move up to 147 from 140. I got Brandon over Alvarado

i agree. bam bam and rios were in the very same boat.
they are weight cutters.
bam bam will still be a big jr WW, probably weighing at least 150 on fight night

he outgrew LW in every sense of the word. not just outgrowing it, but outgrowing the threshold where he'd be able to cut the weight healthy. weight cutting. not my cup of tea. if bam bam had a serious opponent in front of him he would have been in trouble. he looked unbelievably flat, and pulled it off only because he's a world class fighter and behaves and trains that way. he looked like a different person on the day of the weigh in. in appearance that's the most depleted fighter in terms of weight cutting i've ever seen in a boxing match. mma guys cut assloads of weight too.

he'll be bringing in an identical body in terms of the work he's doing (ie he wont be bulking up) while being able to eat and drink healthy amounts of water (at 135 he went four days without eating leading up to the fight.)


i think he'll be every bit as durable and strong at 140 compared to his 140 lb opponents

he might lose some of that one punch fight changing power. he's not the cleanest hitter, but he's got heavy heavy hands at 135
