    I'm not expert.. I hold my hands up. Maybe that's why I can't understand something I think is so simple.

    Rios needs to set his feet to punch, he is a fairly static fighter and the problems for him going into that fight where obvious I would say from the start.

    It seems however that Rios done absolutely nothing to try and adapt for this fight and it played out as predictable as a fight I have ever seen. Plodded forward for twelve rounds... I just don't understand how at that level a boxer/coach/team can prepare so poorly going into a fight?

    Was suicide!! Complete contrast to Groves earlier who had a clear plan of attack and had prepared not just for a fight but specifically for Froch. How can a pro fighter coach not see glaring problems and not prepare properly?

    P.S Manny said "speak to my promoter Bob Arum" again lol... made me chuckle
