Prime Brandon Rios vs pre-Robert Garcia Marcos Maidana - Who would win?

[punchr]

The fight Maidana-Rios was being talked about in 2011.

Who would win if the fight was made in 2011 or early 2012? Pre-Robert Garcia Chino Maidana vs Prime 'Mike Alvarado' Rios... or whenever he was at his best.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Prime Rios, Their video on ESNEWS where Robert Garcia and Rios and talked about their all out sparring and that Rios put it on Maidana bad.

People think of maidana as a brawler and he was but he still needed distance for his shot to have the intended pop, Rios gets in your chest and took that away from Maidana.

i honestly think the fight would look like maidana vs soto karras............


you do not, i repeat do not come to brawl maidana with ultra slow feet and head movement wtf

Robert Garcia certainly improved Chino but he was far from a bum, he had a **** it imma beat your ass attitude back then. More reckless but less effective vs slick fighters however Rios is not that. Rios started at 135, Chino stops him late.

Rios can take a punch though.

Thats the like the one they were working with each other, theirs another sparring session they speak about that ellie is not allowed to upload. Team garcia speaks about it from time to time in one of those pow wows they have with ellie in his videos.

Maidana would win

Only so much one can take plus how many punchers has he fought? Only arguably Alvarado

This would probably be something like Maidana/Ortiz. I'd pick Maidana to win.
