Will Rios come back stronger?

I believe he will come back stronger both physically and mentally.

Sometimes a fighter taking his first loss will make him come back stronger, better, and more motivated. Rios got a reality check. I do believe he will come back stronger in the 3rd fight!

I believe he will come back stronger, he used to box in his earlier fight but he got in love with his power at 135 where he was clearly stronger then everyone and could take there power so he just bulldog in and lay hands on them till they broke, after this loss the butthurt was strong with him but hey a reality check was needed.

Ive been saying he feel in love with his power and abandoned all boxing all together and robert and everyone let him believe that, he has a very strong jab, he hurt alvardo badly with it, dropped acosta with it, hurt peterson with it, No reason not to be sticking that power jab in his oppenent face non stop.

I say we'll see a more refined Rios when he comes back, back to basics.

Good point on his jab he definitely needs to use it more.

I think so. When you have a young and hungry fighter like him, that first loss (especially in a close fight) will only motivate him to become better. Certainly did for Alvarado, he looked absolutely great in the second half of the fight.

most likely

edit: thought the title said fatter, hell be fatter not sure about stronger. His style wont change

**LeG00N** · 04-03-2013, 01:40 AM

Yes.... but only if he doesn't fight Marquez or Pacquiao

**DosRounds** · 04-03-2013, 01:42 AM

I dunno he seems to think he won that fight. If he thinks like that and don't admit defeat or a close fight I think he will carry on the same way. Not refining his skills. The next fight I think he might just try and be more intense r something.

Only time will tell

Will Rios come back stronger?
