Brandon Rios is a beast

everytime I see this kid getting better and better. Good chin, Great power, and is getting better with his technique. Against Peterson he show great timing as well. I think this kid could go far.

Who's next for this kid there's DeMarco, Soto, Diaz, Marquez, Katsidis, Funeka

 

I enjoyed his last performance.

Hooks were nice.

 

As well as those uppercuts! Peterson had no defence for Rios uppers.

 

I'd like to see him Vs. Soto.

 

I think he would beat Soto.

 

Rios-Katsidis would be an easy FotY candidate.

Dunno about that one. The gap in world class experience would come into play and I see JMM identifying and exploiting some of the holes in his game. Let him whup Vazquez and Kats and then we can talk.

 

Was very impressed with him. He reminded me of a sharper more technical Maidana.

 

Good point, although I wouldn't really say it was a close fight, Marquez won in pretty unanimous fashion far as I can tell. A tough pressure fighter who can bring the ruckus might derail him though, which is why i think Kats is a good dark horse pick in their upcoming bout :hey

 

He was impressive against Peterson and it was first fight of Rios that I have seen. Hope that he keeps on developing.

 

As he said in the post-fight interview, he likes to take it slow and gauge the opponents power before asserting himself and fighting offensively. Spoke a lot about the importance of confidence in his fight plan.

I'd like to see him in the ring with someone who has some legitimate power before touting him as the next big thing. I have a feeling that he will fold like a cheap suit. He seems a little fragile to me.

 

Fragile!!?? :shock: He is one of the most durable and determined fighters I ever met.
