    Simply indefendable. too fail at the weight twice is shocking, he should man up and move up in weight and stop trying to bully opponents a lot smaller than him

    :lol::nono mate,having fights in a ring don't make you a ****ing KEYBOARD warrior, it makes you a ****ing warrior,with balls,big cajones :bbb

    oh,and rios is a ****,the bloke needs knocking down a peg or 2,but there is no one at lightweight,thats why he stays there,move up the soft twat and fight someone your own size:smooch

    I think his Team MUST think he has a decent chance of making weight, otherwise they would not have him take this fight after the Murray weight-making debacle.

    He has to be not putting in the necessary work to get the weight down IMO.

    I think he would have made weight if the Gamboa fight would have moved forward,think that's why they made the fight at the weight,Rios was on mentally.

    After Gamboa pulled out I doubt he even tried hard for Abril.

    His face looks like Skeletor at the weigh ins, I dont think it is a lack of effort.

    Either way he needs to just move the **** up in weight, I think it's bull**** him coming out and saying "I'll say this in front of my manager, trainer and team, this is my last time at this weight" implying they are to blame.

    I just think he comes across as a ****.

    There was talk of him moving up after the Murray debacle and then Top Rank and his management insisted that he could 135 :huh

    The lads simply outgrown lightweight.
