    Going back to Rios vs Abril for a second...

    i dont get how anyone thinks the Rios vs Abril fight was a clear cut win for either of those two turds. Had to be the most boring fight ive watched since the Molina vs Kirkland fight. HOW the **** is holding and pittypat punching skilled? Im sorry holding and clinching are two diffrent things. Now granted i was on the Rios bandwagon myself, i am not so sure now. I mean WTF, he couldnt cut off the ring and he allowed Abril to get off first. I mean really who the hell in their right mind would want to pay to watch either of these two turds fight again. I know i dont. Abril, talks tough and then runs and holds. Rios, talks tough, doesnt train properly, then cant adjust in the fight. I cant see him beating any top tier fighter after that stinker he was just in.

    I love to see contrasts in styles, aka...active lateral movement boxer vs come forward pressure fighter, i love to see who adjusts and imposes there skill. Yes they are both skilled. Just in diffrent ways. Isnt that what makes this sport great?

      I streamed it and I stopped watching after the 4th round. I'm a hardcore Rios fan but he did look really slow and unskilled. I'm glad I didn't pay for this crap.

              It was boring but didn't change the fact that Abril won ten of the twelve rounds.
