    Rios is way too hard headed and solid for Maidana to stop .

    Chino on points .

    Or

    Rios by stoppage .

    Terrific fight. I'd go with Maidana on points. His jab has come on leaps and bounds under Garcia - I think he'd try and keep Rios at the end of that as much as possible. Rios is extremely tough on the inside and I think he'd get the better of the action there.

    I think Maidana mixes his boxing and fighting up well enough and utilises his jab to come out a winner on points in a probable FOTY candidate.

    Ok
    I say MAIDANA
    I have supported him from day one but I just don't like the risk factor of the new Bam Bam who is riding high right now:oops:

    No chance as long as they are team mates.

    Would be a great match up, I believe that Rios will win via TKO in the late rounds, if it becomes a war toe to toe battle, Rios has a great chin and will bring the pressure on Maidana who can be dropped by a body shot and his chin isn't that good compared to Rios.

    Have to go with rios its a perfect style for him Maidana can no way hurt him if khan,alexandra,kotel,shot morales took his shots rios would laugh at them

    Maidana also got hurt by lighter punchers he even got hurt by lopez

    I feel like Maidana's style is tailor made for Rios. Rios WANTS his opponents to just rush forward. It's better than orgasms.
