    If rios can draw Brook into a slugfest it could be interesting

    For a while I thought Rios would have success, but I've changed my mind

    Brook would win an easy UD

    Garcia is claiming that Brook's side wants to ban the use of Everlast MX gloves as part of the deal.

    This is an extremely good and dangerous fight for Brook. I honestly give Rios a chance to pull the upset.

    I think Kell would be the bookies favourite going into the fight but would certainly be more interesting than the Gavin or No No Dan contests.

    Rios has only had one heavy point defeat (against Manny) and a narrow point defeat (against Alvarado) so there is no doubt he is worthy of a shot at the title and could cause problems for the Special One.

    Actually you're probably right ha ha

    It won't be easy but it will be a clear win for Brook

    Thats how I see it

    Rios isn't even a top 10 fighter at WW...

    Rios does have a good jab...but it's slow and he rarely throws it

    He is a horrible boxer...Brook beats the brawler out of him...Rios's only chance is to go to war and fight on the inside...but even Alvarado could hold him off...

    People rate Rios too highly.

    I don't even like Brook...I'd love it if Rios was able to rough him up and put a beating on him against the ropes...but Rios sucks so badly on the outside... Brook should beat him...

    This is exactly why I changed my opinion about the fight

    Rios is slow and Brook would just beat him up at range

    Against men his own size he has never shown the ability to even COMPETE on the outside.

    Alvarado (1&2) and Chaves brutalized him when he tried to box them.

    Abril beat him :rofl

    Skill and speed difference is just too big. I can't see Rios doing anything but surviving while losing a wide UD.

    perfect for Brook...easy stoppage

    i think Brook could clean up at WW over next 2 years finishing with a showdown with Thurman
