    What are you talking about?? He has one loss since and to a pretty good lightweight.

    Have you seen it? Acosta looked like a shot fighter last time out.

    No need for this, Rios gotta move up. He looked drained in this division especially in his last fight against Murray. Rios should move up to Jr Welterweight.

    I love that Rios Acosta fight. Rios showed me a lot in that fight. Wouldn't mind seeing it again if Acosta has anything left.

    For what? A slugger out slugging a slugger. It doesn't help Rios grow and is a high risk fight as Acosta has some pop. Even assuming Rios wins, is it worth the damage he is accumulating? Rios needs to step to some bigger names while his star is rising and not go down paths already traveled.

    At the end of the day? It is a fun scrap though.

    Rios vs Acosta was such a good fight. Personally my FOTY. Acosta fought a really good fight, but Rios was too tough and determined to lose.
