    these posters try to blame rios not being able to land because of clinching, but heres proof that even without the clinches Abril can shut him down defensively.

    he controlled the outside and inside. Rios got sonned by a fighter with over 300 ameteur fights, too much skill, and experience

    Abril a G :yep

    I keep reading people crying about "holding", but I didn't see much of it. Ol' boy had his arms tucked to him the whole time in a "shoulder roll".

    He would hit Rios at distance, then "body check" him up close....then laugh as Rios swung wide glancing off him all night. :yep

    I also thought Abril might get the win because of his style and reach but mostly because Rios has outgrown LW. Stupid of me, I should have put money on Rios as Arum's his godfather.

    Great thread!

    - Though I certainly wouldn't equate Abril with Floyd.

    It wouldve been a master piece if he didnt hug Rios for most of the fight.

    Good way to put it.

    Abril "pressed" to Rios, he wasn't holding.
