Nonito is the reason Rios didnt get knocked out yesterday. Rios has been punched harder duing sparring by Nonito and that helped Rios with his punch resistance. Rios should give the belt to Nonito.
rios needs to get in some top fights and achieve as much as he can because he isn't lasting long with his style, that's for sure.
Rios will beat anyone from today until next saturday when Canelo gets the fan boys all over his trunks.
khan 10th round tko, it will be competetive for few rounds then all khan, all the people who are saying in a few years time rios will have a better chance of beating khan are forgetting khan most likley will be at 147 and is also younger than rios and is improving in every single fight.
Punching power and chin ARE talents you dim wit! What you think handspeed and athleticism are the ONLY ways to base talent?
Only thing interesting about that fight is taking bets on what round Diaz gets KO'd in. Diaz wouldnt beat Rios in his PRIME..... now that Diaz is washed up, it'd be a mismatch that would be over inside of 5.
Nobody from 135-140 wants to see this kid, point blank. You can say what you want about his lack of skill, or whatever but bottom line dude is a beast and demonstrated that he is a force to be accounted for. The kid is for real, period.
Different fighters. Rios is more sturdy than Maidana. Varience in pressure. Khan has chin issues and Rios will take hm out without question.
Being born with a head stone is not talent, it's ****ing luck. Guys like him get their facial bones broken and brains turned to mush when they meet real punchers.
