Remember where ya heard it first! Rios is tailor-made for Acosta, with his come-forward style, which is very similar to Urbano Antillon--whom Acosta already beat.
This! Acosta has real good boxing skills and packs a huge punch! If rios beats acosta damn rios will be HUGE! If he beats acosta rios has the potential to be a superstar !
I wouldn't rule out the possibility. Acosta does indeed have some nice skill, and hits pretty damned hard. Plus, Rios does tend to leave himself open in the early rounds. Rios does tend to come on in the later portion of the fight, so this result depends on whether Acosta can keep Rios at bay in the later portion of the fight once Brandon begins to accelerate. Either way, it looks like a fight of the year candidate on paper.
