    The Chaves fight has me wondering if anyone can KO Rios at 147.

        Ortega did drop him twice but that was 20 fights ago. And I don't think Alvarado hurt him. I agree, I don't think rios is some elite guy, but he's tough and durable, and Keith relies on being able to hurt guys to win. I just can't see him hurting rios.

          Rios has a rock solid chin, and a decent defensive guard, he is very underrated on here.

          The Chaves Rios fight was close before Chaves was rightfully disqualified.

          People forget Chaves and Thurman were neck and neck before Thurman got the late KO.

          Thurman is another Berto/lacey type hypejob who's been KO'ing C grade bums to get a fearsome reputation.

            Rios? Tough dude and very exciting no don't but extremely LIMITED, you could argue that he should be 0-3 in his last 3 Fights, going back to the Abril fight you really could argue that he could/should be 1-4 his last 5 Fights

            Thurman by UD EASILY, Rios does have a Chin so I don't think he would get Knocked Out

              Wtf are you talking about? This is boxing not street fighting, not every opponent is going to walk face first into your punches...

              You're clearly following the wrong sport.

              Thurman doesn't rely on being able to hurt guys to win...

              He went 12 rounds with Zaveck and won every round, went 10 rounds with Chaves before stopping him, having to box after the first few rounds because Chaves broke his nose, he boxed on the backfoot against Karass for 9 rounds, won every round and put him to sleep eventually.

              Thurman's boxing ability is so underrated, if he can't get you out of there, he will box your head off.

                Welcome to the Floyd Mayweather hipster boxing fans era.

                Throw a few pitty patty punches whilst doing laps around the ring and you're a ''sweet scientist, master boxing technician''

                  Rios is battle-weary. He wasn't as sharp as he used to be in his fight with Chaves, maybe partly because of the long layoff. But he's definitely slowing down. Provo would take him to hell and Bradley would KO him.

                  Bradley vs Thurman would be the better fight.
