Comments Thread For: Rios-Chaves, Vargas-Novikov Close For 8/2, HBO

[HUGEBOXINGFAN]

Multiple sources have advised BoxingScene.com that an HBO televised doubleheader that will feature the return of Brandon Rios' (32-2-1) will take place on August 2nd in either Las Vegas, Nevada or Fresno, California.

An agreement is close to being reached for Rios to face Diego Chaves (23-1) of Argentina. Chaves burst onto the U.S. scene last July when he lost to Keith Thurman in San Antonio, Texas in an exciting fight. Even though he was stopped in the 10 round, Chaves put on a good show and stunned Thurman on a few occasions.

Win or lose it's been a long time rios was in a fight he didn't take a beating.

Seriously, this dude has some sort of sick mental issues to continue taking beatings like this, someone needs to save him from himself.

Rios cant get a break, seriously i think his career will be in real jeopardy cause i don't think he could beat Chaves. He should take a tune up.
