    Guys, Rios always looks like a zombie. I'm on the phone and so I can't post pics, but check out his appearance on the weighing scales against Acosta. He looked the same. Only this time, it's just caugh up with him and he's not hit the weight. Maybe it had something to do with their new training location, where it was colder. Hes accustomed to the hotter climate in Oxnard. I seriously doubt he's in that bad of a condition where Murray now has a good chance of beating him.

    But with that said, it probably will make the fight a little competitive than what it was originally going to be. Would be awesome if Murray does him over.

    He's a lot paler this time round, and looks alot less like Miguel Acosta.

    Any ody else read the thing on Gallaghers twitter about Murray bumping into Rios in the hotel gym, doing some running on the treadmill, so Murrqy shook his hand and Rios didn't even know who he was ?! Obviously he hasn't been studying the John Murray tapes too hard. I bet his matchmaker just said "we've got this British kid up next. Don't worry, he's like a poor featherfisted version of you" and they decided not to bother doing their homework.

    Yup, Rios' title is now vacated as he didn't make weight and only Murray can win it tonight.

    Same situation as when Nate Campbell failed to make weight with his fight with Funeka.

    you just described what happened to Don Curry with Loyd Honeyghan - and that upset was massive .
