Crawford boxes the **** out of Rios. OP is a ****ing idiot. Power + Chin = Great? WTF?? Crawford is all wrong for Rios. It takes more than just power and a good chin to win boxing matches. Somebody tell this ****ing amateur to study up more.
Crawford schools him easy, how dumb are some fans :rofl Abril schooled Rios and guys think he can fight Crawford
Its not as easy as people think. Power and Chin can and have solely won entire fights, and Rios has both (especially chin). People downplay Rios too much. The Abril fight, yes he lost, but to be fair Abril's defense consisted of too much clinching...definitely deserved at least some penalizing. And Pac is an ATG, no shame in losing to him. People forget how Rios was seen as a big up and comer and he beat ****ing Acosta...who was getting really high up in the rankings. He beat Mitchell and did well against Chavez. Rios has great power punches when he actually catches his opponent and his overall pressure has overcame many fighters that skillfully outclassed him. Really his biggest downfall is his lack of discipline. I would favor Crawford, but Rios is naturally much bigger and Crawford has never really faced a tough pressure fighter before. Honstly Rios isn't the best, but i'd favor him over Porter, Guerrero, Berto, Lopez, etc...
i think rios realized he needs more to his game and it looked like he still complete come forward fighter but he does it with a little more defense. i agree with what your saying though but i do think rios is attempting to expand his game a little and i think it noticed in his fight alvarado but rios needs to get back in the ring i want him to fight sadam ali
this fight in 135 would have a been a dream fight, i see it like the acosta vs rios fight! 140 and up i see crawford beating rios!
