More Impressive:Donaire or Rios??

[Randomum]

Both fights were impressive in their own ways.

1. Donaire for beating a much better opponent than Acosta in a way that was unexpected. (Made a hall of famer look like an amateur, and I am a fan of Montiel)
2. Rio for his heart, and relentless pressure that was able to win him a fight that he was losing on the scorecards (Not Ellie's.....hahah) to a great underrated fighter with more skills than him.

Donaire is destined for greatness because of his tremendous skill, and crossover appeal. He has physical skill as well. He is probably the best all around fighter besides the old breed (Pac, May, JMM, Martinez, Hopkins, and the Klitschkos). He stands along them.

Rios if a fighter who wins with pure heart, pressure, and power. His skills are limited, but he makes up for it with heart. He is a great example of the great Mexican pressure fighters. Any fight that Bam Bam is in will be an entertaining one.

Without heart in this sport you will not go far. Like Ali said " The will must be stronger than the skill."

Rios all the way. Acosta almost had him on the 3rd round yet he stuck to his plan, applied pressure and systematically broke his man down. 'Nito was just a "holy s hit!!" KO reaction, it only lasted 2 rounds man.

montiel >>>>>>acosta

you guys are impressed with rios' lack of skill but he still manages to win. that doesn't make any damn sense.

you forget that acosta had like a nine year winning streak and all were tough opponents. acosta beats any lightwieght out there other than rios and marquez

IDK but I think you forgot to mention a mexican and a chicano who're about to have a rematch sometime soon.

[TuRoK'em]

umm acosta already beat the chicano and soto wont get past acosta imo

In case you forgot, triangle theory doesn't work in boxing and opinion is just... opinion.

As for the opponent both fought good opponents but Montiel was the better more impressive win..So Doniare..But better KO was Rios..

donaire's KO was more devastating

[Drunk Punch]

Both amazing fights. I'll go for Donaire for sheer technical brilliance.

[SCtrojansbaby]

I will say Rios because Acosta is a lot more talented then Montiel
