    After his annialation of Jorge Teron in less than two rounds. It seems no one in the top 14 wants to get into the ring with Brandon "Bam Bam" Rios. Contract talks with light-welter Amir Kahn broke down after Brandon's oneside win over Teron. It appears Khan would rather fight light fisted Malignaggi instead.

    Of the fighters ranked below are there are none who want to risk getting in the ring with Rios?

    The cut over his eye is nearly healed. Brandon was the one wanting this fight to happen.

    How can he not find a fight if he just pulled out of his biggest fight to date??

    I would still like to see him fight Antillion, I think Rios wins too.

    Brandon did not pull out. The doctor would not allow it and the commision would not sanction it. The cut was not a bad one but there was no way they would let him go into the ring with it. Brandon wanted to fight with the cut.

    He is that. He is always in shape and he fights with heart and passion. Besides that he is a genuine nice guy.

    I am a fan. Brawler type. Looks pretty durable so far.
