    In all honesty I watched the whole fight and here is my breakdown:
    -Chavez was out landing him and winning the fight regardless of the stoppage.
    -the fight was very dirty on both sides-ref lost control
    -If Rios had better footwork he wouldn't have to worry about holding
    -Rios was laying on chaves
    -I felt like Rios was more frustrated with being hit by combinations for 9 rounds than the holding. Rios looked really ****** up post fight
    -Rios is very lucky to have escaped with a win
    -Chaves is a better fighter/boxer than Rios. Rios still has a lot to prove

      Both fighters were dirty and holding is a far lesser foul than headbutting. Vic lost control of the fight very early and dug himself a hole that caused the fans a very good fight.

        in fairness to chaves at least he's not using his elbows to fend rios away from him.

        there’s far more dirtier fighter than him. smdh

          Chaves is a better boxer not a neccesarily a better fighter. Had he been a better fighter he would have won the fight. The fact he can't deal with pressure is what led to him holding, resorting to DDT's, and ultimately to the disqualification.

            Chaves would have been a far better matchup against Garcia. The Argentinian got some serious power and could KD chinny guys like Broner, Peterson, Alexander, etc. Rios got an iron chin and was too much for Chaves.

            This guy could serve as a serious TBA for Haymon fighters. Guerrero would demand $2 million if he's asked to fight this guy.

                Was there ever an actual headbutt in the fight? I mean an actual headbutt, not a Rio's head slightly rubbing Chaves' head?
