well he promised weeks before he was gonna slap him at the press conference! i think Dereck Chisora Fever is spreading.
Abril isn't that good he only got this because he beat Acosta and Acosta looked a shadow of his former self in that fight. If the Acosta who fought Rios turned up to fight Abril then it would have been a one sided ass-whoopin'. Rios TKO 8 (or earlier).
Maybe, maybe not. IMO, Abril is either the best or second best fighter he's faced. And a tall guy who can fight moving backwards on the outside is a bad style matchup for him. Abril really should be undefeated. Granted, the Prescott and Lundy fights were close, but I thought he won both of them.
He's got that same additude like Vargas. I think Fernando was a better boxer but Rios is the better Puncher, with a better beard.
I like hype around fights and in contrair to floyd his fights are entertaining, not only before, but during the fight =)
