Im too tired to make a poll but what do you think it was more of? Weight issues/drained, finally didnt have a huge size advantage to make him look better then what he really is, style matchup, new nutritionist/diet, overlooking the opponent, unmotivated after Gamboa fallout, or just overrated?

What Was The #1 Reason Why Rios (Lost) Tonight?

Style matchup without a doubt.
Rios definitely tried imposing his will, he tried to hit anything he could hit. Abril just boxed beautifully, uses his legs, great defense on the inside and good use of the jab... Abrils defense really made 90% of Rios' shots ineffective, and at long range he was a sitting duck.

All of the above, or at least a good 5 or 6 of those.
I just don't know if I would blame the nutritionist/diet, there is only so much that guy can do he isn't a miracle worker.

What won Abril the fight was the shoulder roll thing he did when Rios got close, which was just as effective as holding, but legal.
