Perhaps but who knows if he getting f**ked in sparring and prior fights. Homeboy doesn't have the greatest of chin. Floyd Sr. said that Dirrell would whoop his ass, knock him down in sparring all the time. Maybe thats why Ward is so confident since they both are around same lvl.
Rios ain't punch drunk ni99a, he just tough some straight Mexican, hard core, Oxnard, CA ghetto trash, I mean that as a compliment too he is a hard man inside and out.............. no homo AKA as hard and unrefined as they come and that's why he sounds like that but he ain't punchy yet people are always looking for something controversial and are way to sensitive this is boxing. watch MMA if you want to see gay men on the floor tusslin and tossin salads BX borough !!!
How much did he make in his last fight? 500K? Obviously peanuts compared to Floyd and Pac type of purse but that's damn good from a general standpoint. Imagine telling friends or acquaintances you make 500K or more a year. You'd be considered a rich man. Rios will suffer with a disability someday. That's why we should appreciate what he does. If he's smart he'll retire at an early age. Seeing as he's slated to fight Pac or Marquez in the near future, he'll likely get his millions of dollars soon enough.
Watch the post fight interview..definitely slurring his words round the edges..and it is slurring, not just unrefined speech/talking
Put yourself in his shoes, you've been fighting you whole life, and now that you are finally making money and people are getting to know, you are going to quit ? I doubt it.
there no place like home except Boxnard, Cali! I aint never been there, but don't need to be a genius to know that, a real fighter will feel at home in Boxnard hes been there for years, he has not been in KS
i would say he will have sum sideffects. who knows how bad tho. all his fites arent like that, alot of them are one sided beatdowns
