    It is a step in the right direction from his recent opposition. It could be fun I suppose.

      Could be worse really Rios is going to press Brook if he can survive into the later rounds maybe he can test his stamina.

      Rios is a much better in-fighter than Porter he's just got to get there by going through a bad neighborhood.

        Why don't people name these better opponents who will be available?

          Why does he need to fight then?

            It's not a great fight, but the guy we want to see Brook fight doesn't want any and everyone else is booked. Rios is a decent name. This isn't terrible at all.

            I hope Brook gets a legitimate good fight to end the year.

              Last night Brook said he is ready for Pac, Thurman or Rios ---> just a hal day later: "Rios vs Brook is on track."

              Fuck you Eddie Hearn

                If Rios is a legit opponent for Manny, than he is a legit for Brook as well..

                  TR trying to secure a fight with Hearn and getting Brook in the process is good business for them, beating Haymon to the punch.

                  This does not mean that the TR fighter will win, I hope Rios comes in beasts mode and I know Brook will bring it, we might see Rios get KO. For the first time in his career.

                  I like this match up, maybe Arum and Hearn will continue to do business and have Brook fight either Pac or Desert Storm in the future.

                    His hyena promoter knows that this will be a good excuse to hold that belt as a hostage for a little more time.
                    Brook is a solid top ww guy I don't think it's his fault but I feel sorry for everyone who is with Hearn.

                      Rios deserves a title shot to you? Why can't brook wait a few weeks and fight thurman or bradley vargas winner. He's fighting 3 guys in a row that aren't even top 10. He's the only champ at ww right now besides floyd
