I still feel Rios gets underrated on here, his biggest issue is foot speed, if one chooses to take it to him then he'll more than likely hold his own as he's very refined on the inside offensively, and defensively he ain't as bad as many like to believe. Guerrero isn't nearly as mobile as he once was, his boxing ability has regressed since moving up to 147 so he opts to press the action, I like Rios' skills better up close, I believe Rios is the heavier puncher as well. I'm going with Rios by decision. Now had this fight taken place when both were campaigning at LW I'd go with Guerrero as he moved very well.

I'm gonna go with Rios on this one. I think Rios will work him to a decision. Decent scrap.

Although Guerrero has shown he can brawl, he can also be a clever boxer too when he wants to. He beats Rios handily on the cards.

Guerroero is very very underated. He gives a ton of fighters big time problems @ 147 lbs. Guerrero isn't just a swamrer he can fight off the jab.

Brandon Rios wins by KO

Guerrero gets hit flush with the same shots over and over and over. Guerrero was target practice for Aydin and berto.

Sad to say but Rios has the better defense and power

side note:
Alvarado>Guerrero at EVERYTHING

This isn't true though, when Soto Karass can easily outbox Aydin while Guerrero heavily struggles, it's safe to assume that Guerrero no longer has the mobility at this weight.

Great fight. Rios by points in a War.

At 135 i would of went with Guerrero. Guerrero's more of a plodder nowadays at the higher weight.

The ghost is the superior fighter and has been a WW longer. On the inside Robert will be stronger and on the outside the ghost has better skills. If Rios could make the fight a brawl only, then I could see a closer fight, but Robert does not have to fight one way and has the skills to fight at distance. I think Rios takes a lot of punishment in this fight. Garcia stops it around the 8th or 9th round.
