I guess its Ironic but man, Brandon Rios is going to be soooo punch drunk later in life..actually may be not that much later. In the post fight interview his speech seemed quite punchy already....
Rios is going to end up getting beat up many times.. I love his style and he makes great fights but when he fights a fast, skilled fighter he's going to be target practice..
Don't feel sorry for him. He could try to be sugar Rios and make zero money, or do what he does well and make a lot. The guy likes to throw down and will make a good living doing it.
Its rough but he's doing what he loves doing and making good coin at it. I'm going to go out on a limb and say he's not going to make that much doing anything else.
Yes, Rios is gonna be. He fights like Margarito and Chavez Sr. C'mon hit me and I'll hit you back. That's his style which won't last long.
I dont think that we can say that he will be punch drunk soon. He takes a lot of punishment but there are guys in the history of this sport who took way more blows to the head over decades and are still fine (Foreman, LaMotta, Chavez sr, Lyle etc etc)
And btw if i was born with Rios' Abilities i would do the exact same thing. I would rather take the risk to end up punch drunk to make a shitload of money and be somebody people look up to and cheer to then some regular-ass Joe working 9-6 in a ****ing office for 40 years.
chad dawson slurrs too. Thats why i really don't want to see him and mike rematch for a while bc their match was fu*king brutal.
