Keith thurman whoopin chaves ass.

And remind us when was that fight? Oh yeah! Maybe a year ago? No one has forgotten that fight if they're a true boxing fan. And we also haven't forgotten it was not a one-sided fight. And BTW, Thurman would beat Rios even easier.

Thing is, 'fans' saying true fans don't hate Rios.. that's pure b.s. A true BOXING fan wants to see boxers, or boxer-puncher. Rios is just a brawler who had good power at 135 and 140. I don't think he has as much power at 147. So, besides being relentless, what does the guy have? I mean, 4 fights ago he was fighting at 135. And look what happened to Bonehead when he started jumping weight classes too fast. Rios just doesn't have much to work with in this matchup IMO.

Chaves wears down Rios and stops him by round 9. May be going out on a limb a little bit, but there it is.
