Rios vs chaves who wins and how

[Ged21]

Good fight tonight. Will it be competitive or a blow out? Who wins, how, and what round (if KO or stoppage)

[SplitSecond]

haven't seem enough of chaves to say, but want rios to win

[sicko]

I think Rios could possibly get INSIDE and outwork Chaves and smother his work and power but I think Chaves could out-box and HURT Rios if he can keep enough separation. All depends on Chaves strategy and how he chooses to fight and how he deals with that relentless pressure from Rios. Early against Thurman, which is really all we have to go by, he did some good things early and I thought he was controlling the fight just a bit early in that fight. Chaves also has a stiff jab that can possibly show down Rios Pressure.

We shall see, I look forward to this fight the MOST tonight

Pretty sure there's a sticky thread for this.

Imo, this is the most 50/50 fight on paper this year. I have gone back and forth so many times on this one.
My heart says Rios, my head says Chaves. I just think Rios' style was better suited for the lighter weights when he had a big size advantage. I think this is the first time in his life he won't have the advantage in power. Also as evidence by the Alvarado fight, he can't seem to adapt when a guy gives him the slightest bit of movement. But I'm not counting Brandon out, that dude is a bad mutha****er and he might just wear Chaves out with the pressure. Man I'm excited about this fight

Considering Chaves can't move remotely as well as Pacquiao, I predict Rios by Mid-KO.

Exactly...during the Thurman fight he looked good early. Unlike Thurman who circles and moves more than Rios, Rios will be there to be hit. Obviously if Rios can get inside and **** away like he likes to do, we may see Chaves hurt, however does Rios have that kind of power at 147? I think its a 50-50 fight on paper but i like Chaves just because hes more natural at 147 and his offense isnt so 1 dimensional like Rios. Rios couldnt be KO'd by Pacman who completely obliterated him, so I dont think Chaves can KO him. Do you all think it goes the distance?

Good fight

I think rios wins in a fight that looks like rios-Alvarado 1, with Chavez winning early behind the jab and alittle movement p, but rios drags him into a dogfight and stops him about the 7th or 8th rd

I know, watch him get the ban stick.

LOL, I guess it's a big fight.
