Rios vs maidana @ 147 who wins and why

[John Locke]

I got Rios in this one. He has a better inside game, takes a better shot and he's bigger.

[Greed.]

Maidana. He'll do well enough at range to take it

[Rapid Counter]

Rios wont beat any half decent welterweight and guess what? Maidana is a decent welterweight

[Heavyfist]

Well Maidana himself admitted that Jesisto Lopez almost Koed him, that if Lopez didn't back down when Maidana was badly hurt, he would've stopped him.

But Lopez backed off for some reason, perhaps, he thought it is better to not go for it, and just box.

And Maidana was down multiple times against Ortiz, too. He doesn't really fight any big punchers Maidana, while Rios has proven his chin is rock solid.

An impossible fight to call, but perhaps Rios would destroy Maidana. Rios is a lot more awkward that people realise, and he could just get on the inside and beat the crap out of Maidana, Ko him within a few rounds.

Fight will never happen obviously, same trainer, and different promo firms, plus neither of them would ever take it anyway. Rios ducked Ruslan. And like I said Maidana doesn't fight big punchers, and is a bit of a cherry picker, even backing out of an agreed fight with Tim Bradley like a coward.

Who has Rios beat at 147? The best fighter Rios beat was a c-level cokehead that took him to war the first time and outboxed him in the rematch.

Victor Ortiz wins.

Is Maidana planning on ever fighting again?

He hasn't beat anyone at 147, but in terms of style he struggles against crafty fighters, not guys like Maidana. Maidana can't box like Chaves, Abril, Pacquiao etc.

Rios takes a better shot than Maidana and in fights like this, that's the first thing I look at. This would be a toe to toe war and Rios does cleaner inside work than Maidana, is bigger and would back Maidana up.

Maidana by stoppage - anyone who can box and has a chin will always beat Rios. o think Maidana's boxing skills are underrated

Speaking of Maidana's skills I just made this video.
