Comments Thread For: Arum Gives Update on Brook-Rios For September 12

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The last we saw of Brandon Rios he was beating Mike Alvarado into submission in front of Alvarado's hometown fans near Denver, Colorado on January 21st. His next assignment could be for the IBF welterweight title versus Kell Brook (35-0, 24KOs).

Bob Arum, who's company Top Rank promotes Rios, said on Friday:

"Eddie Hearn is going to call me on Monday. He's in San Francisco. He has a fighter fighting against Andre Ward and so once he gets back he'll let me know." (For the record Paul Smith is facing Ward at the Oracle in Oakland tomorrow night).

I hope this fight happens, if it's in the UK they will probably show here in after noon, then show the replay later in the evening, make it happen Dunkin and team Rios.

I hope it doesn't happen. What a bore! Brook needs to step up and fight big fights now. Rios is a retread blown up lightweight, not an elite welterweight.

I hope it happens in the UK too, I will be drunk by then and don't accidently catch it.
