i think ive seen him fight before.... kinda reminded me a bit of fernando vargas in some way if i can remember... is he trained out of oxnard? also this david lemioux kid or however you spell it... anyone seen him fight?
flatlander, i first saw brandon rios on the old telefutura when he was like 8-0 and back then he didn't have much of a defense. in fact, he almost got KO'd in one of those fights but came back to score a KO himself. what i've noticed is that since he's been training under La Colonia banner in oxnard, he's improved his skills and defense alot. i think this kid is a really top prospect who could go far in about two years. i would give him maybe 4-5 more fights before putting him in for a world title. definitely keeping my eyes of this young cat!
He reminds me a lot of Vargas too. He gets better with every fight. He is a Top Rank fighter and lives in Oxnard, California but he was born and raised in Garden City, Kansas. His Dad, Manuel Rios is a trainer at our gym. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKqLmGKR8DU[/ame]

Yo Kirk... I got a kid for you to checkout. Rashad Holloway 147lbs (11-1) Cincinnati, Ohio He's fighting Nov. 4th Wed. Night Fights ESPN2 vs "Gato" Figeroua. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njkcHRhcff8[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rq4g5yseMWw&feature=related[/ame]
Solis just knocked out Monte..... i dont know if youd still consider Solis a prospect but it was the first ive seen him (sad... i know) I think hes got a decent chance at making some real noise if he drops some lbs.
