    Didn't realize they gave out title belts to complete and utter bums off the street.

    I guess you didn't either. Abril was hugging Rios like a horny ***** and did everything but kiss him.

    Rios has **** all head movement. He doesn't feint at all. You need to be able to slip punches while moving forward to give Broner problems. Easy fight for Broner imo.

    There's far tougher fights for Broner at 140 than Rios.

    I have to go with Broner on this one for the fact that Rios is a one dimensional fighter that comes forward. He has no defense what so ever and try to rely on his chin and his aggressive nature to break down opponents. I'm not sure if anyone watch his fight with Abril but Abril straight up outbox Rios.All he did was show him some movement and Brandon couldn't handle that. Rios is another Margarito in the works and we all saw what happen to that mighty chin when he face someone with power ! I like Rios but I think at this stage Broner would probably stop him in later rounds or outbox him. Broner is just to fast, skilled, slick, and all of the above then Rios.

    Broner humiliates Rios and looks like the next coming doing so. Broner via KTFO6 or TKO. Rios is tailor made for a Broner.

    Honestly, apparently nobody saw the Abril fight. It exposed Rios soooooo badly. Rios is a perfect Top Rank fighter. Another ****ing hype job.

    Get it straight folks: Rios won't fight Broner. Guarantee it.

    Honestly it kind of depends... Broner's kind of flat footed, so Rios could find him when he needed to

    Rios would punish him as long as the marquess queensburry rules are enforced not wwf rules.

    I would favor Broner. But people that imagine an easy night for Broner are wrong IMAO. Broner we'll fight probably for the first time fighter that is as big or bigger then him. Rios had fought good technicians before in Abril and Acosta while Broner had never faced a big pressure fighter like Rios. Rios is very good on the inside and has decent defense on the inside. He will match Broner in there. Robert Garcia is just the best trainer at the moment so he'll find a way to neutralize some of Broner strengths, hopefully for Rios he will listen. All that said Broner is a bad match up for a fighter like Rios he has too much power and accuracy and I think that he will take him out late in a very competitive fight.
