That was below the belt.

Braindamage Rios will be back. Fighters dont retire, they just go away until somebody offers them enough money to come back

Rios actually went 8 months which is close to a year WITHOUT TRAINING? OMG!!! It was beyond silly for Rios to get in the ring with Bradley. Rios needed a softer touch. After 8 months of doing nothing and gaining weight, can you imagine how out of shape he was when he first came back to the gym?

Is there anybody in Rios corner that actually cares about him? Because I would have vehemently warned him against taking this fight under those conditions.

They are a tight gym so they do care, but the point is Rios is kind of ****** in his mentality. He didn't do it professionally like some do.

Many are similar though, Khan doesn't do much gym work when not in camp for example. IMO it hurts their boxing career

Those mini air force ones? Probably made by some poor kid his age. But hey, sometimes someone else's kid gotta suffer so yours can look cool.

That made me laugh!

It was evident that Rios was not well prepared for this fight. Rios was only really competitive in the second round and after that he faded quickly. Brandon was able to hold 12 rounds with Pacquiao but losing last night by KO with a guy with a very poor record of KOs is a clear sign of declining. I think is wise for him to retire if he indeed lost the desire or hunger to train properly. I wish him luck in his life. Brandon was a real warrior and most of his fights were very entertaining. Best wishes for him.

Using that term official a little too loosely. He'll probably be back like every retired fighter. He's still young

Where are the haters at this morning? Desert Storm taxed that ass so badly that Rios jumped ship from the game. That's right, Atlas and Bradley = Dream Team biatches!!!!!!!
