    I agree. Acosta is a B+ Top Rank fighter, Rios is a B- Top Rank fighter. People are just swayed to chose Rios because Elie 'I love Khan' Set-Back is covering that guy like crazy. :nono

    I see Acosta and Rios as very good fighters: high work rate and good foot movement. Rios is more powerful IMO especially due to the fact that he comes in as a jr MW. Acosta is pretty big too. Anyway this fight will be highly entertaining with Acosta winning the fight by boxing Rios from distance until the fight a brawl from the 8th on. Then I'd say Rios takes it. I will root for Acosta though but Rios size will be a huge factor.

    Rios is younger and strong but his level of opposition hasnt been that great until now. Acosta has the experience factor on his side and has fought a better opposition but he also has been KO twice.

    I'm going with acosta to win by decision or maybe TKO, but it wouldnt suprise me to see rios win. If he does in impressive fashion then he's the real deal.

    :hat

    Dont matter. Rios has been ducking Mercito Gesta far too long now.

    I'm picking Acosta by Decision. I see footwork and combos followed by uppercuts causing Rios the defeat.
