Comments Thread For: Photos: Brandon Rios Looks Drained at Weigh-In For Abril

[Phenom]

ppl giving rios **** because he stayed at 135 but he only did it for Gamboa!! Not this ******* nobody Abril! Once he's done with Abril, he moves up to where he belongs no way he stays at 135..

I have to wonder tho, after seeing these photos, if Gamboa regrets not fallowing thru with the fight, because RIos looks like Morales looked vs Pacquiao 2

fight would have been canceled anyway no way it goes through they could pull this **** on Murray or Abril but not against the big names.


hell maybe Marquez wouldn't agree to the July fight now even tho its at 140

he would rather go through this **** everytime so he could have the size advantage his people know he will get exposed at 140

I've said something like this before. There's a reason why Rios goes through this crap: size advantage. Why else would anyone put themselves through that hell? Bad news for Brandon, though; the higher weights are probably going to be too much for him.

Rios doesn't need to move up to 140; he needs to go straight to 147. The man looks like a corpse at 139. A healthy and decent junior middleweight would take deadly advantage of "Bam Bam's" condition. A major welterweight like Victor Ortiz would smash him. What's left?

I just finished saying something like this in the other thread.

According to The Ring, Rios was only fined $45k which is absolutely horse****. Is he paying Abril as well on top of those $45k? Or is the fine going to Abril?

Mexican fighters not making weight lately.

Don't know. But 45k is a lot of loot; Brandon's "only" getting 500k. I think the penalty is just. Plus, Rios might've gone too far and allowed Abril too much of a handicap.

In his last fight he blamed the second weigh in result being the fact that the scale stayed on the stage during HBO's special for PAC/JMM III and it not being calibrated again afterword. What's his excuse this time? He goes to sweat off a few pounds and actually gains 2?

Abril gets 22,500 and the commission gets the other 22,500

According to Abril, if I eat that, I'm more Mexican than Rios

lolol.....

45K is not enough. Rios is actually getting 450,000 for the fight. The fine is only 10%. It varies by state, but California fines 20% if i recall correctly. The fact the Rios has done this twice in a row means (imo) that they should escalate the fine percentage.
