Rios vs Acosta The Rematch

Have you seen Acosta's last few performances?

 

I haven't seen Acosta's last perfomances but he gave Rios a lot of problems and hurt him until he ran out of gas and Rios stepped it up.

 

**** that. rios is on to bigger and better things. but i wouldnt be surprised if arum starts to try to protect him like he does to most of his big fighters tho.

 

no need for it

 

If Rios stays at 135 is just for a megafight vs Gamboa...otherwise he should move up for big names,already looked drained like **** on his last fight.

 

Oh yeah. Acosta looked off balance, clumsy and...well crap TBH against Abril in hi last fight.

 

Abril bounced Acosta off the canvas several times and beat him.

I thought Rios vs. Acosta was the FOTY, but this proves nothing for Rios now. At all. An immediate re-match would have been heaven, but now I don't like this fight.

Maybe Arum is trying to give him a sell-able intro fight at 140 before matching him with Bradley?

 

Nah, Acosta almost quit the sport several years ago when he lost a few fights some odd years ago.

He climbed as high as he was ever going to go then crashed all the way down. I don't think his hearts in it anymore. He's not super young either.

 

pretty much this

 

Despite 3 knockdowns one judge had Abril up by only one point? I'm gonna try catch this fight tomorrow if its on youtube

 

it was a really good fite . acosta had rios early on . but rios took his best shots n kept coming while acosta energy was fading . rios showed me alot that nite.
