WAR BAM BAM!!! I am all in for Rios. I am emotionally invested in this fight. I know we'll see the old, balls to the wall version of Rios. It is a a crossroads fight for both... I expect a bloody, vicious war. I want to see a lot of violence.

WAR RIOOOOS!!!!! Let's do this!!

Rios is battle tested and won't be boxing on the back foot most of the fight like Thurman did. He's going to take the fight to Chaves and beat him up late. I'm sure he will look terrible early because it looks like Chaves has some skill.

The important punch in this fight will be Rios' uppercut. Granted the Thurman fight is the only one I've seen of Chaves, but he kept bending at the waist. I'm sure Rios will catch him with that punch several times and take him out.
