Brandon Rios is a big boy weighed 161, he should move to 147 already.

He looked gassed in the later rounds because of that extra weight.

He should move up. Fight someone there, rematch Alvarado at 147 then fight someone, maybe a guy moving up from 140 by then

I think he just needs discipline and not let himself balloon up after fights.

Both of them need to move up mike was 158, prob higher by the time they got in the ring

But wait, according to the Mattysstards, a fighter can't go 20+ pounds overnight, so i'm pretty sure HBO made a mistake. And they also made a mistake with Alvarado who went up 18 pounds.

When Matthysse looks mediocre and stops developing like Rios, then I'll have a problem with it. I still don't believe he rehydrated that much though, but even then, he KO'ed Dallas with a perfectly placed counter-punch which is new for a guy who usually pounds his opponent into submission.

Anyone else think that weight cut effected him? The guy shouldn't even be at 140, he walks around at 185 pounds and is 5 foot 9.

He rehydrate to 161. I bet when he fights at 147 he will rehydrate to 170.

thats crazy I am 5 9 and walk around in 175 and I barely get to go to the gym 3 times a week
