JMM UD, but Rios might bring the Mexican spirit out of Marquez and make him brawl which is what he is depending on.
50/50 fight. Rios has a granite chin and an insane workrate. A few rounds before the stoppage, Alvrado put a beating on Rios. I thought Rios was gonna be on his way out. But he was still throwing haymakers. Rios is nowhere as talented as JMM, but the style's bad for JMM. A faded Katsidis dropped JMM hard. Styles make fights.
In his fight against Alvarado, I thought Rios did very well in taking the big shots and just took them. But If they were to fight next year, Marquez will still win but depends on how he looks on December against Pac.
Rios is stronger and heavier handed than Juan Diaz - with a better chin. JMM would be in for a very difficult assignment.
Marquez wouldn't lose 10 consecutive seconds of any round. it would be a shut out. rios is a caveman, abril won 11 of 12 rounds by boxing him!
