Its interesting the way they match rios mate...they match him hard every fight. Maybe they think he's a cant miss and a loss isnt that much of a set back given his passion for war. Bit like kats...losses didnt stop him appearing on hbo.
Mate I think that's exactly how they see him. I also think they reckon that he's going to beat anyone who just stands straight in front of him.
This basically. Kats has only ever lost to tier 1 elite guys. It's not like he's tiny at 35, 40 is only a small step up. I think it will be an easy nights work for him and he will pick up a strap as a nice bargaining chip
Apparently rios has a few options....molina, mitchell and vasquez. He'l fight on either the pac/jmm card or dec 10 showtime.
Yeah. The latest i heard is Dec 10 on Showtime prob vs Mitchell Wont be Vazquez as he will fight Zanfer stablemate & mandatory Ameth Diaz next. Molina would be a nice fight while it lasts..still favour Rios heavily & im hearing many rumours regarding Molina's future.
Katsidis v soto has been discussed as an uc for kirkland v angulo on Nov 5. But hbo would prefer matthyse v soto.
Matthyse and Soto would be a farkn firefight and a half. Urbano and Soto went to war and he ain't half the fighter that Matthyse is. In my book he aint lost a fight. He hammered Judah who was a round away from quitting and Alexander's Christmas present came early. Mitchell proved against Murray that he has more cojones than anyone thought he had but Katsidis still deserves to be put before him.
Well **** my boots Kats v Burns in Glasgow 12th November , great fight and big props to Ricky for taking on a high profile top draw bloke like Micheal first time out at the higher weight . ****ing well appy
