    There's a temptation on the Urbano bet for sure. Rios ain't gonna box his man is he :lol: He might be too brave for his own good, you never know.

    I am, a must win for both fighters. it could be a long way back to genuine world title level for the loser. Hopefully the timings will allow us to watch both cards.

    Yeah definitely looking forward to this, Rios is quality. Williams v Lara is the most interesting fight of the weekend IMO though.

    Can't wait for this one. Has the potential to be a FOTY condidate. Rios stops Antillon late, big fan of both fighters.

    Nothing, and I mean nothing will pip Marquez-Concepcion to FOTY.

    This should be good while it lasts, but it'll be very one-sided. Rios is like Antillon times 5. I'd expect Rios to stop him inside 8, most likely with a series of uppercuts over the course of the fight taking their toll. I don't think there's a single fighter in the game more inept at defending uppercuts than Urbano, and in close, against a very big-hitter who can throw an uppercut, it's not going to end well.

    :deal Soto couldn't miss with the uppercuts. I don't think it will be too one sided to be honest, i think Antillon will be close on the cards before he gets stopped.

    You expect it to last that long? I'm expecting Rios to stop him within 6/7 TBH
