Acosta was good win man.

Exact same reason why I wanna watch that fight since Rios struggled early on vs Acosta and was being exposed.

exposed for what he is, a load of ****. No doubt he'll win an absolute horror of a decision.

Most overrated fighter I've seen in my entire fcuking life.

You heard it here first, that almost unheard of feather-fisted Cuban kid Richie Abril will school the **** out of him.
****** ass wannabe fat version of Margarito ain't ****.

Abril will outbox him all night long, I'm telling you, hell if it turns into a brawl, if Rios can make it a brawl Abril likely stops him late.

A tall, well rounded, slick, skillful Cuban vs a zombie! An absolute plodding, poor mans Marcos Maidana

You can all laugh, I told you all he'd go life & death with British cleaner John Murray and you all laughed. Abril EXPOSES this kid tomorrow night whether he gets the decision is another thing.

Look forward to hearing more excuses about weight, etc

IF he can do that, I'll give him props.
A lot of people think this is an easy fight for Rios. I personally see him being vastly overrated & Abril underrated.

My only real concern is Abril isn't getting the decision IMO
If he took Prescott best shots with no problem at all, Rios isn't doing much to him.

I don't share your hate for Rios, but I agree with much of what you say. I believe Abril is going to do better than most people think. Richard is a solid boxer with a somewhat awkward style. He's going to use his height and box from the outside, clinching whenever necessary. As long as his conditioning is up to snuff, and he doesn't get into unnecessary exchanges, he'll go the distance. But, as you pointed out several times, Abril isn't likely to get a decision.

Nope, Bobby already has that covered. He's using Abril the same way they were trying to use Sergio when he fought Margarito and Williams IMO. Feeding him to the wolves to make them look good but it obviously backfired vs Williams. Now it will be funny if it also backfires on Top Rank and Team Rios.

Hey bro, if you end up going and Yuri is there tell him we're waiting for his ass to come back!

Acosta was good win man.

Never really rated him or Antillion tbh
Certainly felt both was made for Rios though Rios made Acosta look a lot better than he is.
Acosta has always been vulnerable IMO

[CubanGuyNYC]

i can see rios losing a decision to marquez if they fight...and getting demolished by pac.

Yes and yes.

I think they both stop Rios.
Marquez wears him down & stops him in the mid-later rounds.
Manny stops him before.

I don't see how a guys whose best win is against John Murray though is worthy of stepping up & facing either.
I'm really not sure he even gets passed Abril.

I think JMM could very well stop Brandon, but I'm fairly sure Manny pounds him into oblivion.

It might be a close fight but I'm taking Bam Bam.

Dan_Cov fancy betting 1M on it?

[dan_cov]

I wouldn't pay too much into Abrils losses either, I've seen those & personally feel both could of gone the other way.

You only have to see how wide the scorecards are to see something isn't quite right.

I believe 1 had it 7 or 8 rounds for Lundy whilst one had it 2 the other way, how can you even explain that?

I don't have enough to send you 1mil if I lost anyway. I gave em all away as I don't bother with them anymore. I'll send you any points I get like.
If you can be bothered to collect the ones owed in my sig & tell em I said you can have them

Acosta lost that fight the minute he started playing "Bam Bam's" game. Miguel was winning that fight fairly easily...then came the exchanges. Maybe it was his conditioning that caused the change in approach, maybe it was Brandon's pressure, but it was Acosta's downfall.

Nope, Bobby already has that covered. He's using Abril the same way they were trying to use Sergio when he fought Margarito and Williams IMO.

Not likely to happen. Then again, I picked P. Will to beat Erislandy. lol And yes, I would laugh my fucking ass off if Abril pulls "a Lara."

Hey bro, if you end up going and Yuri is there tell him we're waiting for his ass to come back!

I'm in town, but I didn't come here for the fight. The spirit might move me to go. I'll have my eye out for Yuri if I do.

Rios has been hurt multiple times in he last fights. His youth is carrying him through but don't know how many times he can go to that well. Don't know either it is because he is fighting in a weight that is to hard for him to make.

Exciting fighter but a KO waiting to happen
