Awe c’mon bro, he had better skills at 135. Never great but he wasn’t shot. His human punching bag style caught up to him. Listen to him speak, he’s beginning to slur his speech.

I know, bro - I was just kidding. I've been telling the same as you for a while actually, Rios' brain is scrambled already. He's never been too intelligent to begin with, but in the last few years his speech really betrays something serious going on. I hope I'm wrong, though.

i don't really follow rios but you guys have any interview in particular where his speech slurs and betrays him, or is it one of those just look at any interview type thing lol

Far out did NOT see that coming, Rios looked a bit flabby how seriously did he train for this one?

Here’s a recent example. Pay attention to some of the words at the end of his sentences. https://********/-dKbICHIMxI

Rios looked terrible. Flabby and slow. He should call it a career. He has nothing left to prove.

Time to retire Rios.

First time I saw Soto was when he stepped in as a last minute replacement against an undefeated Rocky Juarez and scored the upset. I was completely blown away by that performance and fell in love with his style.

I clearly remember Juarez-Soto because In Jin Chi who was one of my favorite fighters at the time was supposed to defend his WBC title against Juarez but pulled out from injury.

I was really looking forward to Chi but looking back now, Soto saved the fight and made it even better. Soto’s performance was amazing , he pretty much put on a clinic and dominated Juarez.

I turned into a hardcore Soto fan in the mid 2000s and I believed that he was going to beat Pacman but he never got the chance after losing to Guzman.

I remember getting into alot of flame wars with the *******s on ESB over this lol. I really believed that Soto had a good chance to beat Pac.

I don't think he turned back the clock. After the 4, 5th round he started to fatigue. His 22 years of experience though is what carried him. Good win for Soto.

Let's not lose our minds here. He was fighting Rios. At worse, a 50/50 fight. If a champ needs some work, Soto might get the call.

thanks, much appreciated.

my experience/knowledge of "punch drunk" isn't that good, he still sounds like the same dummy from when I first heard him speak earlier in his career lol

but thanks again
