The fight that got away. Rios and Matthysse have been in some terrific fights around the same time but somehow just missed the opportunity from possibly facing each other while they were still considered top fighters. No doubt this would have ended by knockout but who would have been the one getting stopped here?
Matthysse would have destroyed Rios. That was the sentiment even back then, and it was the correct sentiment. Rios would never be able to take the punishment Matthysse laid on Provo. Provo took shots that would have laid Brandon out. Matty Ice in 5.
