    Brook is a natural Welterweight.
    If mini-Mike Tyson on roids/speed can't hurt Brook. What makes you think slow 1 dimensional Rios is going to have any chance?
    He's not even going to get through Brook's counters to make this interesting.

    Too slow, easy to hit.
    Brooks powerful and accurate as hell.
    Ask Frankie Gavin.

    It will be a great war but I'll favor Brook. I don't think Rios can do a better job than Porter. A late TKO/RTD or a not-so-close UD (in the region of 117-111) is likely. Porter vs Rios would be more competitive.

    Rios does pretty much nothing better than Porter and isn't as athletic. The Special Surgeon dissects BamBam in clinical style. TKO Brook.

    Rios might not be elite, but he is top 10 imo.

    Rios has a good chance at the upset here, and by KO.

    I like this fight, but Brook SHOULD win. Rios better be careful; although, I'm positive he can take Brook's power. The kid has a granite chin.

    Rios chin is ready to crack, taken to much punishment over the years

    Rios has nothing on Brook except power and that means jack if you can't land. Porter is a much better boxer than Rios and I only gave him two rounds.

    Rios would have to be in the best shape of his career to even have a chance at an upset.

    I like this match up. I'd like to see how Brook deals with someone like that. An inside fighter, constant pressure, relentless, tough, maybe dirty, decent power. Brook did struggle with Carson Jones first time out. Would be interesting.
