    Too one-sided to be a FOTY-type, but should be great all the same.

    **** knows with Rios, he got all emotional at the press conference and with his style and mentality he'll get dragged into a brawl :deal

    If it's an all-out brawl than Urbano's even more screwed, at least Rios has some defence. Antillon's got to have one of the worst defences in the sport amongst other top 10 guys. If Rios at least places his shots and makes sure to avoid enough, he should have it wrapped up. If he throws uppercuts from the get-go, it may just end early, Antillon's a sitting duck for uppercuts.

    i'm a big fan of Rios but this fight doesn't do much for me TBH.

    but Garcia says he's trying to teach Rios more defense/head movement and work on his jab more, apparently they've been studying a lot of cotto tapes.

    so we might see something different... who knows...

    He can box better than he showed in his last fight thats for sure, he actually has a good jab when he uses it, and if he had used it more often against Acosta he could have made the fighte easier on himself.

    and Rios will win the brawl.

    Rios is an emotional guy so cant take anything from the press conference.
