Brandon Rios: I'd love to fight Adrien Broner, I'd possibly KO him

[kiaba360]

danny garcia

lucas matthysse

broner

abril

rios thinks that he ko's all of these guys.............(& he gave no credit to abril in the 1st fight)

he also thinks he'll ko alvarado.

truthfully he was talking ****...............abril schools him again, matthysse ko's him, garcia schools him, broner schools & tko's him.

he only has a chance against alvarado..............

I honestly believe that Rios think he can beat all of them lol, he's not bull****tin. Another fighter with ego that lacks a versatile skill-set. Rios is just too one-dimensional, he shouldn't expect everyone to break down from his pressure and power.

This is assuming that Rios is able to carry his power to the next weight class. Broner would probably use the first 2 rounds to gauge Rios's power. If he respects it, he'll fight behind the jab, fight on the outside and be more defensive-minded. If he doesn't, then he'll probably aim to do what he did to Escobedo. I think current Broner would beat Rios, but of course he's still questionable in certain areas. Rios would definitely test his stamina and mental toughness.

I'm not sure you're serious about the bold, considering that Rios is already a full weight class ahead of Broner. The same must be for broner. Will his power have relevance at 140?? Because if it doesn't, he'll get hurt.

He fights like Floyd right now, staying mostly stationary, using upper body movement, and absorbing blows on his shoulders and arms. It works against the fighters he fights. Unless his power stays absolutely dynamite like it is right now as he moves up, bigger guys like Rios will bust him up.

Of course, by the time he gets to 140, I'm assuming that will be a couple years at least, he may have improved. Right now though? No way I'd expect him to just beat up and dominate someone like Rios, not unless his power is the same as he moved up. Broner just doesn't strike me as the full truth.

Floyd is still better defensively right now than broner is. Plus his fights will be more competitive. If broner stands in front of Rios like he does these smaller guys & let Rios work the body & head, he's going to sleep.

People are underestimating Rios

Broner wont clintch. Which will be his downfall.

Niether fighter is making 135. Catchweight at 142 may work.

[Mike Haynes]

This would be a dull ass fight....Broner would morph into a 135lb Andre Dirrell.
Rios would be walking him down all night and Broner would be shooting the right hand and grabbing all night.

Lmfao! Rios is a pressure brawler with no defense and a solid chin just like Tony Margs. Most of the posters have said that Margs in his prime would have beaten Floyd with that pressure an that is why Floyd ducked him.

Well we have the b- mayweather in broner and the b+ margs in rios and now broner wipes the floor with him?

[Frank Ducketts]

Rios better not try to come down to 135 and fight Broner. Rios knows Broner is the real deal. Rios if anything better wait until Broner comes to 140. It would be a bloody massacre at 135 in favor of Broner.

Would love to see it. I have Broner winning. Would be a good fight to really assess where he stands, but I see his speed really bothering Rios. But Rios would pressure him, which could make for an exciting fight.

Broner walks in straight lines, no lateral movement. Abril has tying up a lot and using side to side movement, Rios was drained as well. If this fight happened at 140, Broner gets walked down and worked over against the ropes. All Broner has is a headlock technique when he gets into trouble, he would likely get penalized for consistently doing it against Rios.

Broner needs space to get his punches of because of his very wide stance, he won't do good up close with his back against the ropes. Rios is easy to hit but I don't think Broner would be able to withstand the pressure or power on Rios' shots. Rios by late TKO stoppage.

I tend to agree.

I thought Rios would beat Abril, but I also knew Richard is better than most people think and that Brandon would be weight drained for their fight. So, while in town, I made a small cash bet at one of the sportsbooks in Vegas on Abril. I thought it was worth the odds to risk a small wager. Richie wasn't the only one robbed that night. lol

It's all about styles, as we know. Your post breaks it down. Broner is good, but an energized Rios might very well bust him up.
