Can't wait to watch this one on big screen at the casino tonight! I like both fighters they're both tough but I'm gonna have to go with Rios on this one even tho he clearly lost that Abril fight. I don't think he'll be weight drained and he'll carry his power fine in the JWW division
I've only seen Rios buckle once and that was from Acosta after he landed 5-6 clean blows in a row on Rios. Rios' chin is pretty rock solid if you ask me. Obviously only time will tell in a new weight class if it will hold up, but from his past he seems to have no issues taking punches.
Then you havent seen his other fight where he was dropped several times and hurt BAD. They just posted it on here not too long ago. Something tells me Rios hiding a less than solid chin.

yea he was truly green... just noticed that the other guy had 6 losses as well... those were some good shots he took... lets see how he fairs against a guy his own size...

And what I remember from that moment is that Rios didn't look to clinch. He wasn't exactly ready to go down but could have with another well placed punch or two.
The point being that in this type of fight tonight I expect both fighters to get rocked at several points in the fight. Refusing or not knowing how to tie up your opponent can cause u the fight quickly
