Both guys operate best in close. Would be a good action fight for the fans, and Rios' commitment downstairs would definitely test Broner.
the speed is the issue. I have seen guys like Chavez look great against guys who can box and he breaks them down like that guy John Duplesis. I think I spelled his name wrong. Sorry. Then Chavez fights a more elite guy with speed and he has a hard time breaking him down with Whitaker or Taylor. The speed of Broner is exceptional. That speed always changes outcomes into easy fights.
(The Problem) breaks every fighter down in a different way.Rios boxing skills sucks he fights the same all his fights and the fighters thats put in front of were all tailor made for Rios.
Broner is exclusively flat footed. He's not an in and out guy or an angles guy. He's a stand and pick shots fighter. That's why a fight with Rios would be so competitive. Rios' wheelhouse is when you stand right in front. So is Broner's. It's just a fantastic style match up. Fight never gonna happen.
Foot speed?? for what?? Broner is right there in front of you, you don't need to be fast on your feet to catch him, IMO this might look a little like the Margarito/Clottey fight due to styles...
Yeah try telling that to Demarco. Rios is easier to hit than Demarco. I give him 6 rounds before he's hugging the floor. What Broner is gonna break his hand during the fight? :rofl Good luck with that one happening.
:huh Demarco was landing throughout.. Broner wasn't hard to find at all. He just took all Demarco had and whipped his ass.
Compubox Stats for Total Punches Antonio Demarco = 93-351 Yeah landing throughout my ass. Unless you somehow think Broner is part of the air. Heres the site too if you think I'm making it up. http://compuboxonline.com/compubox-stats-broner-ko-8-demarco/
Since when does Broner have footspeed and movement? He is too flat footed and wide stanced that Rios walks through him. PDL beat him on the inside Rios does the same!
We don't know yet broner hasn't fought nobody near his size.I'd give him the edge & wouldn't be surprised if he out boxes rios abril style.He's not going to ko him though.Also wouldn't be surprised if rios power is too much for broners unproven chin all he needs is one punch to change the fight & he's a good finisher like broner.
