Rios VS Maidana

[bojangles1987]

Rios by decision.

I think Rios can take his power well enough, and land enough shots in enough rounds to win. Hell of a fight.

I have respect for rios heart. He has a mountain of it. But then, so does Maidana. So with intangibles out of the way, the better boxer is Maidana, he can actually slip a punch and stick that jab. Maidana will maul someone on the inside. That's Rios wheelhouse but Maidana could eat rios inside game and spit it out. Once rios's stand still offense is neautralized, and his inside game met, he'll just be relying on his chin. He'll be taking horrific meteorite bombs from a very deadly KO artist in Maidana. I just don't see the fight going the distance.

[Cali boxer]

I got to go with my boy in another classic, KO in rd 10. Too bad this is just hypotheticals and the fight will never happen, but we can wish right?

[ElBossHogg™]

rios KO maidana if he was hurting to the body by karass and got dropped by a body shot to khan, Rios will have maidana running from body work by the 3rd round and stop him late.

[Oh you out son]

Rios would win. Maidana doesn't have a great chin, look at the shots he got dropped with by Ortiz. Rios has a crazy chin and would take Maidanas shots and he would be the one coming forward attacking, which is what Maidana wants to do but he wouldnt be able to.

I would love to see them in sparring, must be exciting!

[boliodogs]

That's a great fight. Two guys that refuse to take a backward step and throw lots of hard punches. I like Maidana to win by KO.I think he has more skill and power than Rios and he is just as game and tough as Rios.

[WombBat]

Love Maidana, Love Rios, that said i think Rios is way too good for maidana.

Maidana's inside game isnt that great, Rios has a really underrated inside game.
I saw him slipping, ducking turning punches and countering really well against Alvarado, go watch the fight again and youll see what i mean

and maidana had a tought time with Soto Karass

[Sheppirino]

Rios by KO but he'll go through hell to get it. Matthysse on the other hand would KO Rios. Both of those would be fight of the year candidates.

[Alx.]

would be a great matchup, maidana ko imo in the 10th
