Going all the way back to childhood. The Bad Boyz gym here in Garden City, Kansas where Rios got his start as a amateur has gone to Denver for shows and gyms from Denver have come here. We have made the trip dozens of times. I don'lt know if Mike and Brandon ever boxed or even sparred but I do know that have known each other long time. I hope this is ledgible. I am texting it on my cell phone and no I am not driving too.
Will their being long time friends and their mutual respect hinder this fight or will it be another Ward vs Gatti moment. They know each other's skillss and styles very well.
