###The Miguel Acosta express!### Onwards and upwards to Lightweight glory!

News just in:

Arum said that the Acosta-Rios winner would likely be matched against the winner of an HBO pay per view televised, May 7, MGM Grand rematch between WBC lightweight champion Humberto Soto (54-7-2, 32 KO), of Tijuana, Baja, Calif., Mex., and Mexican-born, Urbano Antillon (28-2, 20 KOs) of Maywood, Calif.

"Brandon Rios will be fighting Miguel Acosta on Feb. 26 at the Palms in Las Vegas on Showtime. The winner of that will fight the Soto-Antillon winner. The Soto-Antillon fight will be on the under card of Manny and Mosley," said Arum.


Looks like we can put a Linares fight on hold for the moment.

 

**** yeah!!!

Acosta is already Antillon's daddy and he has the skills to beat Soto definitely.

Thing are looking up on the Acosta express!!

 

Acosta v Soto is good enough for me.

 

Judging from his last few fights Soto seems to be slipping a bit, and Acosta already has the beating of Antillion who is pretty limited and doesnt seem to have made any improvements. Either way, looks like he's picking up another belt!

He hasnt even fought Rios yet and this express is already chugging along strongly!

 

You best not look past Rios. You have yet to see the best of Bam Bam Brandon Rios.

As far as me being biased toward Mexican fighters. I am a fan of boxing not a fan of a boxer or of an ethnic group.

 

I had a feeling I would have to apologize for that. When I said that it was aimed at Kush, not you. I know you're not liked that but he clearly is, I should have put him as the second post I quoted. Sorry about that.

War acosta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I guaranteed that Soto won't fight Rios vs Acosta winner if Soto wins his rematch. Rios will ko Soto while Acosta will just out box the sh4t out of Soto.

 

Criminally, Miguel has been ranked 80th by The Ring in their ''Ring 100''. I suppose he'll get a big lift for next year.

And will somebody please tell them that his record is 27-3-2 and not 27-8-2.

 

I've been on the train for a while and think he will beat Rios handily if he doesn't get robbed, not sure about him getting knocked out as I haven't seen enough of Rios and his chin.

Why is everyone hating Rios aswell? I'm not saying its wrong I just haven't seen enough of him or read enough of him to gain a clear idea of that.

 

Huge respect to acosta for taking the rios fight!
its a good way to get more big fights for acosta soon!
Rios vs acosta should be a good one!
WAR acosta!

 

Turns out he's a huge ****. I was a fan of his but then he slagged off Roach's Parkinsons......

 

I think Roach is a twat but that's just harsh.

Any quotes?

 

There was a vid but they keep getting taken down. I'll have a look for ya.
