Didn't Gamboa's team want Rios as well? I guess, Broner and Gamboa will have to battle it out to see who get the shot at Rios. :thumbsup
He didn't say he WANTS Rios. He was thrown a bunch of names by the interviewer to see what he'd think of them fights. He said it would be a fun fight.
Broner has a style that could give Rios problems. The last couple of Rios opponents were tailor-made for him. Guys that will stand in front of Rios and are there to be hit (Antillon was a perfect fit). Broner is a stick-and-move guy and has good power. He uses his feet well and is defensive minded. I think he would look for spots to counter against the staight-forward, squared-up Rios. I'd love to see it, Broner UD.
No. Just no. Broner is a much smaller version of James Toney. He fights in the pocket with the philly shell and picks his shots well enough until he smells blood. In this case, against Rios...he'd get KTFO. Gamboa on the other hand is a stick and move guy with GREAT power AND speed.
I think he's more of a stick-and-move guy. You're right about smelling blood and going for the kill, which he has done early in his last couple of fights. But I think we would see him move his feet much more and pick his spots against a brawler like Rios. If he would try to exchange with Rios, he would get KO'd. I think he's smarter than that and would understand he's not in with Litzua or the little Argentine he just KO'd.
aww ****, man rios eats boxers up alive. what he did to the peterson bro and that cuban kid who was a great boxer. broner will have to have real gameplan and stick to it. rios always gets his man, i dont see broner ko him with any kind of check hook or uppercut.he would have to work the body of rios to slow him down and put rds in the bag.rios will bring it from rd 1 to the end, the 2nd broner breaks or weakens rios will run him over and stop him. id watch that fight on the edege of my seat.
