Brandon Rios Arrives With A Vengeance

By Jake Donovan - For years, the lightweight division has been in search for youth to be served at the top. Brandon Rios may not be the man just yet, but he certainly arrived with a vengeance. The 24-year old overcame a deep hole early on to eventually overwhelm streaking Miguel Acosta via 10th round knockout in their alphabet title fight Saturday evening at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas. Not only did Rios pick up his first major title with the win, but provided boxing fans with yet another Fight of the Year entry to come from the lightweight division. The win comes less than three months after Humberto Soto and Urbano Antillon thrilled fans for 12 rounds in a bout hailed by several publications as the best of 2010. It comes almost two years to the date of lineal lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez’ ninth-round starching of Juan Diaz. In both fights, experience overcame youth, as thirtysomethings Marquez and Soto continue to reside at the top of the lightweight division. On this Saturday night in Las Vegas, youth prevailed in a big way as Rios (27-0-1, 20KO) became the first fighter in more than seven years to hang a loss on the 32-year old Acosta.
