Well if Rios is so "Highly Overrated" he should lose this weekend against Abril. I'm expecting Rios to look weak since he's still trying to fight at 135, so if he's Overrated and fighting at 135 Abril gots it! I agree Rios, needs to work on more Defence. But he's one tough fighter that knows how to apply the right pressure to make better skilled fighters make mistakes. Let's see how the weigh-in goes. If Rios doesn't look to be struggling to make weight, Abril is in for a rough night.
Rios is the real deal he comes to fight and has bad intentions. He also has the ability to fight all styles. IF anything he's being underrated by people thinking he's just some unskilled slugger. Rios a G.:deal
I agree that he's a monster at 135 for many of the same reasons Chavez Jr. is a monster at 160. He's just a LOT bigger than most other lightweights. We'll see him come back to earth rather suddenly when he moves up in the next couple years. Think about it...what top 5 Junior welterweight do you see him beating?
Rios actually has and uses defense, he's light years more skilled than Margo so let's get that out of the way. I hated Margo but I'm a huge Rios fan. Rios is exciting talks tough backs it up and is good for the sport. What's not to like?
Acosta was a quality operator with the stylistic edge over Rios and at the time Rios fought him would have given anyone at 135 hell. Rios can fight against all styles and isn't being kept away from anyone. If anything people are being kept away from him.:deal
:deal Also, Rios at times can counterpunch quite effectively....Seems like people around here still have their pussies sore from the comments he made about Freddie CACA-Roach.
Why don't you just hold off the judgement call until we see how Rios' career works out. I for one think he is being vastly underrated but the truth will come out one way or the other.
