Comments Thread For: Brandon Rios Taken To Hospital Following DQ Win

[FerFAL]

Rios didn't just struggle, he was losing the fight clearly. It was a dirty fight but both sides were dirty, so the DQ was BS.

Both sides fought, dirty, Brandon did what he usually does, Chaves brought him down with him the second time he was tripped, so thats that.
The simple truth is that Chaves was winning and getting better in the final rounds and Rios was losing that fight. Tough fight, but that DQ was pure, 100% BS to save Rios career.

What this fight shows is that despite Rios getting the W, he is done at the top level. Chaves is probably a lower B level boxer, probably a really durable, respectable C+ fighter. Rios struggled bad with him. They should cash Rios out in a big fight with Marquez.

His success at 135, excluding the Abril fight, was because he was so big and powerful down there. Now at 140-147 mostly every top fighter there can take his shots and outbox him. Still has a good chin, but what's a good chin with little boxing technique or a good gameplan?

I never thought Rios was a high level fighter anyway..I did not think he looked finished either last night..The officiating was just very poor last night..The ref was never in control of what was happening and let Chavez hold far to much..Rios imo looked the same as he's always looked..

I agree to that Rios success early was do to his size advantage as well..Since moving up he's looked very ordinary..

Theres only so much beating a head can take before your feeling like a Llama on tranquilisers.

Rios cant cut it at the top level, from now on he will just become a tough journey man before he unfortunately picks up some brain injury due to his non existant defense.

lol @ all the "experts" on here acting like they know whats wrong with rios and they dont even know the guy, thank god none of you are judges lol.

Thats why clinching should be banned. Disgrace to the the world of Boxing.

And then you have fights like Alexander vs Maidana, where Devon clinched the entire fight to the point it was just one guy hugging another, and to some thats considered outboxing your opponent.

His career is on the backslide he desperately needs a strong win against a big name i hope he can hold it together outside the ring before that happens

I didn't even see that last night. I was drunk and dozing on and off in the last couple of rounds. Unforunately I was too impaired to follow the rounds (that I was awake for) closely enough to score it.

What an ugly fight. Chaves was dirty as hell.

Good! **** Rios! Smh wish Chaves would have hit him with a stone cold stunner too.
