    Rios can take a punch....

    ....but I can see him ending up punch drunk in the near future
    And he ain't a boxer he is a come forward fighter who takes a few to land one
    He will go from world champion fighter to contender to gate keeper to that guy up and comers fight...

    It's sad tbh

    He has a iron chin and to be honest Mexicans dont really get punch drunk. Bobby Chacon but who else?

        Rios is punch drunk though lol, so him and Chacon are punch drunk.

        Rios already has a heavy tongue and slurs a lot.


        But what impresses me about Rios is he has such a tiny head and pathetic jaw line yet he can eat some crazy shots, usually guys with weak slack jaws like his can't take a punch well and get knocked out easy.

          He needs to get his defense in line or retire. Rios was always talking like that, sounds more like a speech impediment wich you can hear at 37seconds here


          But he has been taking damage, thats what makes it hard to gauge simply by speech. But in his performance you can tell he might be slowing down, but i could be wrong since the style matchups have been horrible.

          I joke around about Rios being a punching bag, but i still have concern for the kid. Not a Rios fan, but i like to watch his fights. Just wish he would put more effort to his defense, the offense is already there.

          Garcia, his trainer, should tell Rios that the ONLY way he'll train him and move forward with his next fight is if he Fully commits to improving his defense, where he's defensively responsible for all 12 rounds, not just two. He can't compete at a decent level whit just a chin, thats a recipe for disaster.

              Rios ate some flush bombs on Saturday night, his head going from side to side Rocky-style. I was surprised he stood up to them.

              He should call it quits in 2-3 more fights...but he probably won't.

                Rios is a zombie. You could blow his arm with a ******* blast and he'd still just keep coming forward

                He may be really limited in actual boxing talent but gotdamn man mad respect to Bam Bam, dude is tough as f**k
