    Rios took a ton of punishment vs Soto. I wonder how much Rios has left in him.

    He looked way past it on Saturday. His punches just didn't seem to have any power on them.

    Same can be said for egginton, would be the war of 2 fighters with 0 defence.

    Rios is too far shot to even beat Eggington, I think

    I really hope Rios retires. He already getting the heavy tongue and is starting to slur and he's only 32. He really needs someone to sit him down and tell him to retire so he can have some semblance of a decent quality of life down the road. If he keeps fighting it's going to end very badly for him. Sadly, I think a lot of the damage is already done. He's had a solid career, and put on some great wars, the 1st Alvarado fight was mayhem. But, it's time to hang 'em up.

    Funny thing is that Rios looked good vs Alvarez. He can still throw lots of volume and keep up the aggressive approach.
    It worked vs Alvarez, who is not that good at counterpunching nor defense and who lacks stamina in general.

    Eggington would make Rios look good again. He is about to make Liam Smith look like a god.
