Comments Thread For: Brandon Rios on Abril Win, Performance, Weight, Marquez

I doubt Rios would be at 140 that long either. He looked like a zombie at 137.

Puto Rios knew his corrupt promoter paid the judges off, this is why he came in overweight and didnt even try to win the fight. All he had to do was not get Knocked Out and he still wouldve won!

The good old 85 year old Nevada boys made sure he got the nod!

A good fighter must be able to overcome any adversity inside the ring no matter what to finally rise victorious. Rios in his last fights has exposed his weaknesses and lack of talent. He has been hit a lot, has had trouble making weight, and hasn't look good in his performance inside the ring. Simply Rios is just a knockout waiting to happen. It's just a matter of time...We'll see.

That's a ****** thing to say. Erik Morales lost to Zahir Raheem. Does that mean Erik Morales isn't a good fighter? Styles make fight.

Mayweather is going to hug Cotto and hold his hands all night too. Dam.n shame when a tougher, more noble true fighter like Cotto loses to a vain, loudmouthed charlatan like Mayweather because of hugging and holding hands. Unbelievable!!!

You mean the way Molina was hugging Kirkland???

That was a damn shame..

I get hating on the decision, but it's not like Rios can control if the guy that beat him gets robbed. I mean, that decision was awful, and even though Abril was holding, he wasn't nearly as bad as Molina as against Kirkland. And Kirkland was actually winning 3 of those 10 rounds and on the verge of stopping Molina in the 10th. I gave Rios 2 rounds, and I can't see anyone giving him any more then that.

Yeah, bro! Take for example to Hopkins losing with Winky Wright. He made the adjustments the final rounds to finally win the fight. That's the difference between the good ones and the mediocre ones.

rios looked bad last night wrong game plan if he would of turned just a little like Juan Diaz used to do on the inside he would've had a better target to hit abril is gonna make any inside fight who can't jab his way in and throw a straight punch look bad cuz he so dam skinny dat said i thought abril won the fight and its sad to see someone get robbed in this sport after they've put in the hard work to prepare for the fight and executed their game plan......for those saying marquez will beat rios that i already knew but it will look nothin like this fight marquez stance and body type will give rios a target to hit and the fact dat marquez under all his technical greatness has the heart of a mexican warrior he will not hold or shy away from exchanging punches with rios which is where he will hurt rios the most with his faster more precise punching

[amayseng]

him and his team knew that he had "won", they knew the score of what was about to happen. and it was his fault totally that he could not do anything other than repeatedly wade in then stand with his head up against abrils chin/chest, look down and flail. a pathetic attempt at boxing, and then the arrogance and ignorance to try and explain it away. imagine what marquez is going to do to rios if he gets to have a bit of fun with him. serve the little gob****e right if he gets the shot.

agree completely

rios landed maybe 3 clean punches all night...

abril may have held a bit, but other than moving and making rios look foolish

he stood there in the shoulder roll defense while rios just wailed and missed

and looked foolish landing nothing...


rios looked like shiiit

this is why they need to score the bout openly after EVERY SINGLE ROUND
