Comments Thread For: Hearn: Brook Walks Through Rios, Chaves is Difficult

[daggum]

It's no secret that Chavez is a better fighter than Rios especially at 147, Chavez was outboxing him easily until the bs DQ, Rios' bullying pressure fighting style is just not going to work against legit 147 pounders, he's not big or strong enough, he doesn't punch hard enough and his way of closing distance behind the high guard without any use of jabs or feints won't work at that level and it's gonna make him take a lot of punishment at 147.

the hell? clinching and holding does not equal outboxing. he was dq'd for clinching nonstop and throwing rios around. how is that bs? you prob think postil was outboxing lucas by clinching nonstop or wlad against povetkin. sad state that boxing is in when fans think clinching is outboxing.

Brandon rios is pure garbage, to this day i still dont understand why he is relevant in the 147 division or 140 for that matter.
