JMM would destroy Rios!

[Doctor_Tenma]

I'd pick Marquez to win, but Brandon Rios vs. Marquez at 140 would be dope, two of the best uppercut artists in the sport

Cmon dude Marquez will smack Rios all over the ring. I see nothing special in rios. The kid is a hype job a goood boxer with a strong right hand will put him out. No question about it. Rios is a sucker for the right hand. I will like to see him get KTFO by Dulorme since there is talk about him moving to 140 to compete for a title. Dulorme is ranked I believe in the top 3 by wba at ww. if he goes down to jr ww he can fight Rios for the vacant wba ww belt since is apparent hat Khan will move up to ww after next week

It would be the Diaz fight all over again.

exactly.. difference is Rios has a better beard, is WAY bigger, and has MUCH MORE POWER.

That's the point right there.

[bojangles1987]

He's better than Juan Diaz or Michael Katsidis, and fights the same style, AND is bigger and stronger and tougher.

Not saying he'd definitely win, but Marquez would pay a price win or lose.

[BrotherDudeJack]

JMM would take this guy to school.. sure he'd be in a fight, but there's to big of a difference in skill between the two.

[Specialist6]

Does marquez have some sort of fight contract with top rank now?

[BattleAxePurist]

JMM would be favored but destroy that's a bit much.

[clmags12]

JMM definitely has the skills for a UD. No destroying or KOing, IMO.

Rios has youth and size to his advantage, but lacks the experience.

I think Rios is bigger, stronger and has a better chin than Diaz and Katsidis but hes is also slower than they are in handspeed and in footwork. He is a flat footed plodder type brawler who walks to you in a crouch/hunch with a high guard and looks to do damage up close.

Marquez although a naturally smaller man is a faster, smarter, more versatile boxer with a good chin and accuracy, plus he is an ATG counterpuncher and Rios would walk right to him all night long and force the attack leaving openings after openings and I think Marquez KO's him honestly.

Acosta had Brandon hurt with body shots and hurt him with a couple of head shots too and Acosta is 5'7" like Marquez is so with Rios being 5'9" I dont think the size difference will be that big.

I think Marquez attributes plus Rios style will spell a KO loss for Rios.
