The trash talking, pre fight hype and weigh in banter would be off the hook. Rios KO in 8 however. yep
Aren't you one of Rios' big supporters? Seriously underrating your man if you think it takes him until the 8th to wipe Lundy out.
Bam Bam >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> John John Lundy was found out by a shitty version of Rios, a FAR inferior puncher & pressure fighter.
That's my point. Molina took Lundy to the 11th round and got a TKO. Molina also kncoked Lundy down in the 8th. I think Rios would not just knock Lundy down in the 8th, nor would Rios only win by a TKO. I think Rios would knock Lundy out cold in 8.
Four or five. :good Look how early (and often) Williams was catching Lundy with bombs. Look how early he dropped him. Rios >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Molina >>> Williams.
Man don't get me wrong just became a fan of Lundy if he can keep this streak and improve his game higher he can give many a run for their money. Rios however is about 2 levels above Lundy. Lundy vs a world class fighter like Acosta, Linares, DeMarco, Soto, etc then after getting past one or two of those I'd take Lundy more seriously. But say we give him the benefit of the doubt and like many before him that didn't have perfect undefeated records have a hotstreak where they're unstoppable Lundy vs Rios hell yea it would be entertaining. America really is missing the presence of a Philly fighter now that Hopkins is on the slide it needs a new figure to help carry the torch and remind the new generations what Smokin Joe Frazier and Meldrick Taylor were all about.
Lundy was ahead and winning versus Molina before he got sloppy. Don't act as if Molina dominated that fight. He took a shot in the dark and got lucky. You guys are talking as if Lundy has NO talent. If he keeps distance, and outboxes Rios (which he can easily do) he can have a good showing. He has to have at least 3 KD's in order to win though. Rios is a Top Rank Fighter. There is NO way Lundy will ever get a decision on a TR card....NEVER!!!
Wow. Some people doing the usual ESB post fight worship elevating of Lundy but most people are keeping it real. Just imagine if Williams had turned over that punch that dropped Lundy. It would have landed lower and with more force and people would be talking about what a monster Danny Williams was and having him favored over Rios.
Lundy vs Rios would be a great fight. I see Rios winning, but Rios has been cutting a lot and has a high damage style. He is one of those guys who can get old overnight. If Hank could stay focused? He could win. Problem is Hank gets cute at times. I would love to see this fight.
