This will a fight that determine if Khan can hold his (Glass) Chin vs. durable Bambam and if Rios has the same activity had it when he fought PAC. During PAC interviewed( by GMA) after fight, he felt the power of Rios got almost down.
Khan could be winning every second of every round but at any moment he could get knocked out. Would be pretty similar to the Khan-Maidana fight.
Rios is 1-2 above 135 pounds with a split (1 and 1) against Mike Alvarado. I'll take the proven 140 pound fighter, Amir Khan, by decision.
Based on his split with Mike Alvarado? Logic isn't your strong suit I see.... He couldn't KO Alvarado inside of 3, and lost the rematch. But somehow, Rios knocks out Khan in less than 3. Sure. And Khan was a better champion at 140 than Alvarado.
Alvarado has an iron chin? He doesn't... and he was able to beat Rios. Not exactly evidence of Rios being a beast at 140... And Alvarado is an inferior champion to Khan at 140 pounds.
Rios isn't the same guy at 147 or 140 that he was at 135. Khan would outbox him to a UD win, Rios can't handle speed.
Rios gets battered but walks down khan late on and tkos him khan is done guys accept it diaz was buzzing khan at will
