brandon rios vs juan diaz

[transportcd]

both before theyre first losses who do you think would have won?

[therealpugilist]

Im riding with Juan Diaz....he was just a better fighter than Rios


Diaz could box, fight inside and had the stamina to outwork Rios and outbox


wouldve been a barn burner....Diaz had a good chin and a lot of heart as well. He had good hand speed too.


I never thought he'd win any titles watching him on TV when I was in college but he made good fights.....I was shocked how well he did versus Marquez as well.


Very underrated fighter....is he still fighting? The ring had him ranked some time ago, I havent checked the rankings out in a while

I think this fight would of caught fire as it went along. Rios is/was a tough guy but i think Diaz better skill set separates them in this one.
A competitive fight though.

[transportcd]

no he hasnt fought in i thnk five years but im going with you for juan diaz he was a better fighter and had way better stamina and he threw more punches

Rios isn't losing to Diaz at 135. Too strong, too durable and would get the better of Diaz done the stretch by ****ing the body.

Diaz was an exciting fighter but never really impressed me. Rio at LW was very good, his wins over Acosta, Antillion, and Peterson showed the difference between a good fighter and a very good fighter.

If Rios would have stayed discipline he would have had a good shot at being a top JWW but he got lazy and lost his passion for the sport.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Rios destroy Baby Bull prime vs prime. Just that simple, Rios way harder puncher, more durable than Baby Bull, and they will fight toe to toe baby bull got the edge in skill but not enough to keep Rios off him enough to survive to a decision.

rios stops the babybull

diaz was the better skilled fighter but lacked power,he wouldn't have stopped rios in his tracks, add the fact that he is a swarmer by style in which rios did very well himself, fighting on the inside , and did it with superior strength and power. rios was the more durable fighter aswell

[JJRod]

Baby Bull simply outworks Rios to win a UD.
