    Damn. I hope this is just for precautionary reasons.

    They'll need a Priest to give Barrera his last rights in the dressing room.

    Sometimes fighters collapse a little while after fights end. I'm not sure if that's the case here, though, since not many details were given.

    Steve Kim also just Tweeted that Rios may have possibly broken his right hand.

    I didn't see the end of the fight but I'd bet it was from exhaustion not a hemorrhage, which can sometimes have delayed on set. If he's consious and conherent its good. IF he's lost consiousness that's very, very bad. I hope he's okay.

    I hope Rios vs Barrera doesn't happen but it would be the biggest pay day for Rios career that's for sure. I hope Arum stick to his promise to Rios that he fights the winner of Soto vs Antillon rematch.

    Acosta was standing fine in the post fight interview, so it's only precautionary.

    Acosta seemed like a nice fellow, it's a shame he got hurt like that. It's just a reminder of how violent this sport can be. Hope he ends up okay.

    WTF was Cortez doing? Acosta's hands fell half way into the last combination and the fat blob of a referee still hadn't pulled Rios back.

    This isn't the MMA this is BOXING.
