    Maidana is moving up. Rios should jump straight to 147, everyone from 140 moving up basically.

    Gallagher has said they'll take the fight as long as Rios weighs under 142 tomorrow morning. I doubt Rios' team will go for that.

    Fair stipulation from Murray's camp though.

    I'm sure Rios is up for it.

    I think it'd be a thrilling contest.:happy

    Murray has won the lottery here!
    He's very one-dimensional but by all accounts Rios sounds badly weight drained.He should get a comp payment plus dictate the catchweight.
    I think the guys are right,Rios will bail.
    Told you all bout the G power of John"the Don" Murray:lol:

    LOL, Rios can't rehydrate?

    That fight won't happen if thats the case. At 136lbs he looks like a walking ghost for **** sakes!

    Well ****, that's disappointing when a fighter takes a **** like that and misses weight. Maybe he just can't anymore, I don't know, but its his friggin' job to do so and make sure he's going to.
    Hopefully we still get a fight, I feel bad for Murray though, not Rios.

    I though Cotto looked chubby. Margo looks confident!

    Your talking about that being unfair? Rios came in over the contracted weight for **** sake... :lol:

    Murray has a massive chance now to take the title and accomplish something many people have already written him off for. The ball is completely in his court now, so to speak. Think he can do whatever he wants with regards to the fight - Rios has already defied the contract.

    Woodsy just tweeted Arum wants to give murray 20k of Rios' purse and blow off the weight limit, If I was Murray, I would take it.

    No kidding, but Rios prob would've moved to 140 by the time Arum finished building the fight anyways. ( Gamboa/Lopez ) etc. Would still love to see it though.
