Just watched it. I feel so much for Acosta he boxed so well but ''Bam Bam'' is a mother****ing dog of a fighter. He just wouldn't let up. The kids tough and **** bangs! he's gonna be hard to beat and only the top class fighters will do that.
I was really rootin for Acosta in this fight and I thought he looked brilliant in the first 4-5 rounds. Rios was a bit of a monster, that first time when Acosta really tagged and got Rios attention and than Rios came back with that evil lookin' grin Marg-like. Acosta musta known he was in for hell later in the fight. The finish was brutal, if Acosta had went down straight away from the first big right and not taken the extra shots he could have got up and continued. But he did looked ****ed anyway in the minutes leading up to the stoppage. Terrific fight :good
Rios was like the Terminator. Those Acosta shots he kept walking onto were vicious. With all that movement and punch output, I wasn't surprised Acosta tired. Talk about bad neighborhoods for Bam Bam. He took a battering from the Baseball Furies, a kicking from The Orphans and a beating from The Rogues last night. A good marker to beat for FOTY!
Yeah he cut the ring off well last night,and it was a huge ring as well,if it was smaller he might have got the job done sooner.He probably could be out-boxed but he is entertaining to watch. Rios vs Katsidis would be an all out war
