    Who wins this? Rios is more skilled, but I think at this point of their careers Eggington can take more and dish out more too.

    this would be a bloody war and imo would take something out of each fighter but imo there is something missing from the rios of a few years ago now and although i wouldn't put a bet on it i think that egging ton might just be too fresh for rios now:thumbsup:

    Eggington has a huge height and reach advantage

    Unfortunately I dont think Eddie hearn can afford Brandon Rios. Rios has been getting paid 1 million dollar purses at HBO I dont think he'd be offered more than 200k for this fight, idk though there is a lot of money in the UK, also he'd probably rather feed Rios to a different prospect.

    I agree with this^^^ Hearn could, but won't pay the fee Rios would want to take the fight.
