Brandon Rios will fight either Jessie Vargas or Provodnikov this fall, no Kell Brook.

    Yeah fight a TR bum for less money but a better chance to win=more top level fights->more money
    That made me properly crease.

    That said, Dirk is right in that Rios' reasons for not taking the fight don't stack up that well and the fight not being made is not Brook's fault. That said, if Brook doesn't fight someone decent next, he should get grief for it as there welterweights out there other than Rios and Khan. That he is being ducked should be no excuse for fighting another bun - should that happen.

      Rios would be a good fight for Vargas to get his confidence back against a good yet beatable opponent. Especially at this point.

          He stopped responding when I pointed out that Khan tried to do the same thing with Lamont Peterson lol

            You think of yourself that highly? I thought our convo was over, both points noted and there's nothing more to discuss. I give it to ya, you are funny

            Sorry I can't devote more of my life to you but the time you spend on me is admirable. More loving than my girlfriend or family xox Love you Dirk

              It's just that you abruptly stopped questioning Brook's position when I pointed out that Khan tried to do the same thing with Lamont Peterson.

              Bit of a opportune time to end the conversation.

                Rios beats both of them.

                You gotta give give Provo and Vargas props though, they wouldn't cry over Rios's MX gloves.

                unlike somebody....

                  Rios vs Ruslan guaranteed war.

                    Although it sucks the brooks rios fell apart I understand why. Alot of these new dudes think one good performance makes them mayweather and they get carried away with demands and stipulations.

                    Rios vs Ruslan is a beast of a fight and hopefully they put in the right ref that will let the war break out and carry on and not just stop it soon as it gets ify in their.

                    RIos vs vargas is another good fight that I think RIos wins late

                      The mask is falling off and it's not looking pretty. Khan has made it a point to let the fight grow till next year. Now it's up to Brook to show he isn't mooching off Khan like he has for the last 4 years.

                      "it's all Khan's fault doe, what's in a resume doe, UK's new top fighter doe"


                      ^ This guy is quickly overtaking Flatline as the biggest Khanturd on this forum.
