I'll be kinda shocked if Rios wins....I really think Chaves is gonna beat him up....the fight will be exciting though....FOTY?!?

[John Locke]

Man I can't wait for this fight. Hope the winner goes on to fight Abregu.

[ddangerous]

Ooooh, I like this fight. I like both guys, but I think I'm gonna ride with Bam-Bam to take it. I see both guys getting nailed, but I feel like Chaves's chin won't hold up as long as Rios's.

[Mayweatherducks]

Chavez is gonna **** Dumb Dumb Rios up.

[SeekDaGreat]

Chaves is a helluva fighter, but even in Rios' two losses he held up swell. If this turns into a barn-burner I got my money on Rios.

It's obvious that Rios can be easily outboxed though.

Should be an interesting fight.

EDIT!!!!!!!!!

just dropped one of my homies off at the crib....on my drive home I got to thinking about this fight real hard....Chaves don't like it to the body....Thurman got to him there....Rios goes to the body hard....so I have to change up and give Rios a more than solid chance in this one.....dope ass fight tbh
