      It would look like Rios vs Abril all over again only T-Craw would have his hand raised and rightfully so.

      Rios looked better than usual but still, he beat a shopworn crackhead. Lets not go overboard, he still sucks.

        rios abril was a close fight(although i had abril winning by a point) with long stretches consisting of abril standing inside with rios pretending he wasn't getting left hooked in the face over and over

        crawford i see just dominating from the outside

          Wow I had that a complete shutout. I didn't give Rios one round, I thought it was a total masterclass in which Rios didn't land anything of note. Few rabbit punches is all I recall seeing him land.

          Yeah he'd easily outbox Rios but I wouldn't even be too surprised if he decided to beat Rios at his own game and worked him over in the pocket.

            Rios would probably have a 10lb weight advantage, but I think Crawford's skill/talent would make up for it.

                  I had no Idea that Mike Alvarado was held In such high regard. I must not know **** about boxing, guess It's the Merchant Virus.

                  After last nights win and after reviewing the board, Rios

                  1. Destroys Provodnikov and Bradley on the same night.
                  2. Was unstoppable and deserves a rematch with Pacquiao.
                  3. Would retire Canelo.
                  4. Beats Danny Garcia
                  5. Stops Terrance Crawford
                  6. Beats Marquez
                  7. Is currently winning In a poll to beat FLOYD MAYWEATHER.

                      He would have to kill himself to make 140 but regardless...STYLES MAKE FIGHTERS and vs Terrance Crawford style I don't give him much of a chance. Unlike Alvarado, Crawford is not going to just stand in front of Rios and just Cover Up.

                      Lets Calm Down with the new Rios HYPE based off of him beating Mike Alvarado though. It was a big win for HIM because he been struggling his last few fights but I don't think it all of a sudden means he can beat the very best guys in his Division

                      Very happy for Rios though, seems like a good dude and has a awesome REBEL PERSONALITY that is good for the Sport Of Boxing. I think the winner of Matthysse vs Provodnikov would be great!

                      Bradley is a scrappy little dude who can't resist the temptations of getting into exchanges so that would be a good stylistic match up as well!
