Brandon Rios Says **** 135, 140 I am Comming

[Canelo Phresh]

No, he might have a chance vs Zaveck but not those 2 you mentioned. Zaveck is probably the only one I give him a chance against out of the top 10 WW.

I love Sergio but Im pretty sure hes gay.

The guy is a welterweight but is scared to death of Victor Ortiz.

He boasted so much about doing it right this time, and that he got all serious to make 135..only to ultimately come in at 139lbs and still look weight drained. The guy is a WW trying to use his fight night size to his advantage at 135. Let's see him fight 150+ pound Berto, or 165-pound Ortiz.

Good take.

W/o his size/weight advantage, Rio is in "shock" (not that he doesn't know) at WW or JWW.

I love Sergio but Im pretty sure hes gay.

I don't judge or even try to. I have south american friends and they are a little "different" so yea. They have their ways which I guess they think it's "normal." But hey, if he's gay makes it even more great. A gay dude knocking out all these guys, maybe Chavez too 1 day .

Well I just don't think too highly of Brook or Jones. Brook hasn't done anything and Jones has been an "up and coming prospect" for the past 5 years. Zaveck I didn't even much thought into.

notice how healthy he looked until the week of the fight?

thats those last few lbs

at 140 he wont have to lose them


eventually he's going to be a WW. bring on ortiz. been saying it for a while now.

at 140 he will look like a new man. he'll still be bigger than a lot of these guys

lucas mathysse for instance is smaller than rios.
marquez at 140 or anywhere else is smaller than rios
garcia is smaller than rios


rios is huge. you get the best idea of a fighters size when he is not starving himself and working out and sweating profusely all day without replenishing all of the water he loses. in between fights rios looks like he should fight at WW. at 140 he will be fine


he's just a weight cutter. he's been willing to cut more weight than other guys so he fights very light. now his body wont allow it, and he'll move up

Sure I can agree with all that, I guess time will tell.

Funny how Brandon says that this will be the last 135 he will ever make when he hasn't made this in a while.

Naw its cool with me if he is. I just figure a guy like that should be smashing every ten coming his way.

He would have slaughtered Gamboa good thing he dropped out.

[boliodogs]

Ortiz would do a number on Rios, he'd slaughter him and humble him the F down!

Rios is easy to hit coming in and Ortiz is a good puncher with both hands and he has good combinations. I think Ortiz KOs him.

[Simply Zyzz]

rios would still have problems at 140, the problem isnt the weight, its his dedication... what we have is another chavez and im pretty sure he's scard to go to 147 where everyone would tell him to face ortiz and ortiz would knock him the *** out.....


for all the trash talking this guy does and to not make weight is embarrassing...

[KnockUTheFukOut]

Brandon Rios vs Mike Alvarado would be a good match up at 140, both undefeated (if they win their next fight of course)
