    Q and A with Rios

    QUESTION-Recently on Saturday Night Fights on HBO Adrien Broner called you out as one of the three boxers that he would like to face next. What do you say about that?

    Rios: I’m not scared of him and would love to fight him [Broner], but with the feud brewing between Golden Boy Promotions and Top Rank Promotions it is unlikely that this fight would even happen. Regardless at the end of the day, like I’ve said before, it’s up to my manager, Cameron Dunkin.

    Glad Rios said that so we shouldn't have a ton of threads saying Broner is ducking Rios or vice versa.

    He was honest, shocks me he didn't pointlessly aim a dig at Broner.

    didn't Rios come in over weight for 2 of his fights? Did people cry foul like how they are towards Broner?

    Big time. People were saying he was a bum and that his career wins have only been due to having a size advantage...etc. Many people will always over react to whatever the latest scandal is.

    Truth is Broner ****ed up and he is a piece of ****, but mofo would have beat Escobedo regardless. He is entertaining as hell to watch fight, but he is annoying as **** to listen to.

    He didn't act like a dickhead about it like Broner did. So for Broner, the anger was warranted.

    People were pissed. What Rios did was worse than Broner. Rios failed to make weight one fight but instead of going up he failed the next fight. It the fighter that gets the blame but these guys teams putting them i weights they know they arent going to make is also BS.

    Why? Gamboa is by far the superior boxer and he's up for it. The only thing Broner has on him is size.

    Broner has a lot of skill and power and he is a lot bigger than Gamboa. You really think that would be a smart fight for Gamboa? Broner KO's him
