Why Brandon "Bam Bam Rios is a prospect: Rios is a strong-willed slugger with a solid amateur background that culminated in a 2004 U.S. championship gold medal (in the 125-pound division) and an alternate position on 2004 U.S. Olympic squad. His amateur experience adds to his relaxed and confident nature in the ring and is partially responsible for his sharp offensive technique. (His amateur trainer Robert Gonzales should receive a lot of credit for teaching Rios proper balance and punching form). However, what makes the Garden City, Kansas native special is something that cant be taught by even the greatest trainer -- HEART. Rios has shown the ability to respond to adversity in the ring. He was dropped twice from body shots in the first round of his fight with Joel Ortega, his ninth pro bout, in January of 2006. Twice Rios, in obvious agony, got up. The 19 year old fought his way back into the fight and stopped Ortega in the fifth round of a brawl. He was badly cut over one of his eyes in the early rounds of his barnburner with Dominguez, but never allowed the blood and impaired vision to deter him.
