Rios needs to come off a few wins before fighting someone like Berto or else it'll just look like you're feeding him for another loss.

PBC gave a headliner for Antonio Demarco coming off 2 losses with Figueroa Jr.! Demarco is just as accomplished as those guys and he's not Mexican-American. I don't think we need to be too analytical about it. I think the fight sells well and should be good filler startup.

Originally posted by Raonic View PostIt'll be the same fight regardless of whether they fight now or after a few wins IMO, but if you want to build it up as a main event on a card and to try and build it up for PBC to be successful, a few wins before they fight each other would do wonders.
Ortiz vs Rios is a niche bout for niche fans that know their rivalry, and trying to sell them to the "public" is pointless as PBC's motto is just show and get it on. Ortiz and Rios are not current attractions nor on the level of Thurman vs Porter...this is why I said filler or their own headline bout

Main event for me with the history, it has its own build up already. I'm not high on both but it'd be competitive for the level of action. Rios stops him.

I remember when Rios was still at 135 and Ortiz had just moved to 147 and there was still talk of it then. Even when the GB vs TR war was going on.
I'd love to see it, good old fashioned grudge match.
