Brandon Rios vs. a prime Oscar De La Hoya at 140

at 140, de la hoya woulda ducked rios.

 

I'd be shocked if Rios made it past the second.

 

oh ya, de la hoya just had devastating power. LOL

 

Then you'd be shocked. Rios' chin is too good to be taken out in 2 by anyone. And although Oscar was very good puncher at 140, he wasn't some atg puncher.

Having said that, Oscar would outclass Rios and stop him at some point. But not in the 2nd.

 

This is actually the best, and truest response.

 

Man c'mon.

 

Who did DLH duck during his career? Rios would be a walking punching bag for DLH.

 

He's never been tested against someone as accurate and hard-hitting as DLH at 140, so I'm not sure why you'd bank on him surviving early when he's been wobbled (however slightly) and moved by the likes of Antillon and Alvarado.

And even if he could withstand De La Hoya's single shots, Oscar would just bully him on the inside and push him back out of his preferred range to land his fast combinations at will to the extent that no licensed ref would allow it to go on.

I suppose if Oscar didn't make it a priority to attack or attempt to stop Rios, then he'd last longer.

 

azumah nelson, kosta tzyu, genaro hernandez at 130. If you didnt know de la hoya was the most carefully brought up fighter of his day. Later in his career he clearly ducked winky wright and vernon forrest.

 

Is this OSCAR GABRIEL?

 

De la hoya wasnt exactly the most durable fighter either.

 

He had quite the chin on him, few would disagree with that.

Even if this is an older and previously cut Chavez, he still had better skills and defensive instincts than Rios does today. He couldn't escape the heat of the punches when Oscar turned it up in the second half of the 4th. I doubt Oscar would wait as long and give as much respect as he did for the legendary Chavez.

I'm don't know what you are talking about, De La Hoya had a sick ass beard on him.
