So Rios should move up to 140 after this?

    Regardless of the outcome he seems to no longer be able to make the weight at 135, moving to 140 is the best solution, waiting there are lucas matthysse,Khan,Maidana(eventhough he is scheduled for 147 vs alexander), morales, and also toprank fighters jmm and tim bradley.
    Oretty interesting fights for rioswith some potential foty candidates.
    It would ruin the gamboa and broner plans though, or do you think its a fluke and he can still make weight easily?

    Yeah, he is still winning tomorrow though. Kevin Mitchell stopped Murray.

    It actually became for interesting, I thought rios would win easily, but now who knows what might happe if it goes the distance, rios might be taken to deep waters.

    With tha way TR and Goldenboy are fueding, that eliminates Mathysse or Maidana or Alezander or Khan.... bradley, Mike Alvarado seem like options, his 140 debut will be a tuneup though

    Obviously he should have done that before this fight. His body cannot make 135 any more.

    Ruin the Broner plan? Stop mentioning GBP and TR fighters as if they will fight. Its like you have no clue.

    They could, you shouldnt accept it not to happen. If rios could make 135 easy I would love to see it and so would broner and his fans.

    Brandon will do anything to make weight. Near starvation if he has too. The fact that he didn't this time is not on him but on the physcal fact that he is growing beyond 135. I know this should be obvious but on ESB one should never take anything for granted.
