Matthysse vs Rios: Who wins??

[Sheppirino]

I'm a fan of Rios and his style but I think Matthysse takes him out.

The poll is not based on how much of a chance each fighter has, it's based on who you'd pick to win. I think it's 60-40 in Matt's favor.

i know ... and i have no problem with people picking mathysse but saying it's a fight mathysse would dominate is just crazy talk to me....

rios has proven his elite status by knocking out top opposition, who has mattyssee ko'd? couldn't ko judah or alexander. rios ability to get on the inside and negate mattysse's attack will get him the win.

Rios is nowhere near "elite", and he hasn't KO'ed an A-level fighter yet. His top KO wins are Alvarado, Antillon and Acosta. Rios's resume is respectable, but nothing out of this world. When Rios KO's guys like Marquez, Matthysse, Bradley and Garcia, then we can start calling him "elite".

Lucas knocks him down with a couple of right hands.

Rios seems to think he's the re-incarnation of a warrior who cannot be hurt.

The facts hurt Rios... You're iron.. but your outside skills are pretty darn bad... 'crude' Maidana looks like Mayweather on the outside compared to Rios.

honestly i do... i favor lucas now but i stand firm thats it's going to be a hard fight for both ...

and i did'nt like how tony weeks got so invloved in the fight everytime alvarado would tie up....that **** pissed me off...

also , mathysse got a tough fight coming up too in which i also favor petersen to win, so my stance on lucas vs rios might change again.. ...

bradley, matthysse and garcia are not elite. matthysse punches can be seen a mile away. rios sits down on his punches. bradley lost to pac and was out of his feet against the russian. garcia opens himself too much. His best win was against khan, who has a weak chin and never gave prescott a rematch. morales? way past his prime.
