    I'd like to see Broner, Rios, Garcia, and Gamboa in a round robin.

    Rios by KO at a weight he's not drained. Broner is a hypejob. No way he gets away with that "infighting" vs Rios.

    the only thing i thought rios had on broner was infighting but after saturday broner proved he learned how to infight and upped his game and he's just too damn quick for rios. he's also a better technician than abril and abril picked rios apart! **** even when alvarado who can hardly box at all tried to box rios he outboxed him! Broner wide UD, it's almost like people forget the abril robbery even happened just cause rios beat a barely top 10 JWW who was slow and tailor made stylistically for him.

    He has a pretty good head movement on the inside IMAO. Well lets say that he has any head movement to begin with unlike DeMarco.

    If Rios got inside, he could probably out-work and out-fight and out-maneuver Broner. But he likely takes too many hard, flush punches on the way in and ends up getting stopped.

    It's frustrating because Rios does have good head movement and parrying skills when he chooses to use them, but he prioritizes his offense and competitive machismo over defense.

    But his style is that he picks guys apart with speed. Rios will not be able to handle Broners speed. Rios is exciting, but we have seen guys who fight like Rios. They do well if guys brawl with them, but the fast handed top guys beat them relatively easy. You cannot compare Broner to Alvarez. Rios handlers should get him fights with guys who stand in front of him. Then he can keep winning and he will always be exciting.
