this reminds me of my father's (cop-out) answer to the following question: "who would win in a fight, a lion or a tiger?" Answer: "They would never meet in the wild".
Interesting fight. The winner would be the guy who is stronger and more versatile - I think that is probably Matthysse. Both are there to be hit, both hit hard and have good stamina. It'd be lots of fun, anyway.
really? who? antillon? the brawler with no defense acosta? the technician with no stamina murray?...murray who? Abril? ... the one who took Rios to school :-(
matthysee, he's as tough or tougher and a more skilled guy. can't count rios out though, he's a bad mofo, if he comes in at a comfortable weight he might be able to show us something about matthysee we haven't seen yet. one of the best matchups to be made in the sport.
They used to meet in the wild pre-endangered species days and you-tube it there's some pretty good lion vs tiger fights to be watched.
Abril didn't school anyone and he lost. Abril grabbed and mugged for 12 rounds. Abril is a defensive wizard with no effective offense. There was one other guy that Rios fought before Acosta who matched your description. May be you had better read your description again because it was pretty generic. Most any "B" level fighter would fit it.
it seems you got a couple beers last night with Rios because you admited that Abril was robbed after the fight.Rios won,like Bradley against Pac and PW against Lara. In most people eyes Abril schooled a very limited,slow and inneffective Rios.
Abril took Rios to school. Rios is nothing but a glorified punching bag. In fact Ortiz would KO Rios inside of 4 rounds.
