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

[I.R.I.E]

Hope he's alright. If he is done my favorite Rios fight was the Miguel Acosta fight a classic one in my book.

Shouldn't Chaves be going to the hospital too after bumping his head on the ringpost in the 5th round?

They are really trying to sell that eye gouge disqualification. As for the concussion symptoms, they probably come from blocking so many shots with his head tonight. I kept watching this fight and saying that if Rios doesn't change his style he is gonna end up being one of those fighters whose solid chin causes them to suffer brain damage. I hope he takes another break and sees a neurologist before he thinks about fighting again if he has suffered a concussion.

Rios is running short of support. His hospital visit is sad, but not inspiring. He was life and death with this guy, now he's the sick one. If nothing else this adds wear and tear to what seems like a fading fighter. Chaves was boxing him with basic stuff, stiff, upright, one two move. Rios couldn't catch him easy, chased him around, blocked a lot with his nose, and when he did catch him, he was wrapped up and traded fouls. Rios has problems at 147.

That's the real issue. He ate himself out of 140 where he would be best at. At 147 he doesn't have the power to compete with top dogs.

Can someone post a video/vine of the DDT? I'm OOT, and won't see the fight for a few days.

Crazy

I think he was trying to get up without falling out of the ring.

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.

I disagree, I was rooting for chaves and predicted him to win all things being equal

I had Rios up by 1 point at the time of the DQ

I had the same card as Harold Lederman oddly enough as I never agree with his scores

the rounds I gave Rios were the ones where Chaves repeatedly clinched instead of fought when Rios got close

Chaves isn't as good as I thought he was, and Rios is as limited as I thought

both guys are on the same level

I love my galaxy note 3. Did my scorecard on it
