The edge? Rios murders Judah. It's competitive for 3-4 rounds, and then Judah fades like he always does. Beatdown ensues.
I would never put Rios in this fight if I was a match maker. Wrong style match up all together. Pressure fighters gets busted up hard by power punchers. Especially the ones that don't stick around long enough to get whats coming back. We don't even know if Brandon's power carries to 140 ld yet either. Just a bad idea all round.
Based on his accomplishments and opponents so far, Rios is very over rated around here. I am not saying he isn't special, I am saying we don't know how special he is yet because he hasn't had a true test. Based on his past inconsistency (his own damn fault), Zab is underrated. When he is on, he can be competitive and dangerous with just about anyone. At least for awhile. I'd personally love to see this fight if for nothing else than to test Rios. It's a decent fight to make.
Have u ever been punched in the dick by one the hardest hittin 140lbers? Probably never even put gloves on.
Obviously not, what kind of ******ed question is that? And I have put gloves on, but I never claimed to be good.
Rios would be the easy answer, because I'm always ashamed to pick Judah in a fight after all the times he proved to fold in front of A-class boxers. However, I'm not sure that Rios is a good enough boxer to make Judah respect him. I honestly don't think so and would pick Judah to win this one.
I think it's 50/50. If Rios can survive early, his pressure will likely stop Judah. But Judah can always throw a bomb, and while Rios is certainly tough, he's not immune to hard punches he doesn't see coming. He takes a while to come on, and if Judah can land as much as Acosta did by the mid-round, he can beat Rios.
not only was it impressive, it proved that zab judah does have some heart, because as fragile as he is, he still stuck it out for 11 rounds with a power puncher like cotto who he also outweighed him. and i'm not attacking your opinion that zab would collapse against rios, in fact i agree with it. but to say the man has no heart is not true. anyone who gets in the ring and takes punches from an elite fighter has to have some heart, as stated earlier by another member who posted on this thread.
rios only advantage is that he is a big 135lb fighter. at 140...he loses that advantage. judah will destroy him easily.
just shut up. your a regular esb poster. If a fighter isnt a champ in 5 divisions hes a tomato can right?
