    nope 135 so Gamboa's fan boys won't b1tch like they are now over this bogus article

      They're playing one ugly game if Rios intends to go through that again, a nutritionist can't do nothing for a man who's outgrown LW. Up to him I guess but he's playing with the devil here, lots of options north of 135 too, Rios doesn't have to do this.

        He will be fine.
        He's not gonna be fine man. The nutrionist can only do so much, he can't fight at 135 anymore.

        Like why not make Rios-Alvarado at 140? That's a much better fight. Both Rios and Gamboa will be at perceieved disadvantages...this is a classic example of reaching to make a big fight.

          Oh ok thanks I didn't realize you were brandon rios and know exactly what you can or cannot do.

          Like why not make Rios-Alvarado at 140?
          Gee, I don't know. Money? Huge HBO fight?

            he knows that and he also knows if he decided to move to 140 Top Rank would support that

            but Brandon wants to show the Murray fight wasn't normal and he wants to prove that he can beat Gamboa

                  I pick Gamboa, why? Because he's light years above Rios in terms of speed and skills which pays the bill in boxing. He can take his weight advantage and stick it up his ass.
                  I'm with you on that..

                    Let's refer to April 14 and see how healthy he is then.

                    He's not going to make that much more than an Alvarado fight, let's be real.
