    Khan decision, I think Rios would be too tough for Khan to KO but he would outbox him for 12 rounds and get a decision IMO.

    I love the fact that some fans will sight Khan being weight drained as the reason he got knocked out early in his career but on the same hand completely dismiss the troubles Brandon Rios underwent to make weight - he looked dead

    I still think Khan wins by UD here, maybe SD if he fights sloppy. I also think Lamont beats Rios handily too.

    I can't see Rios stopping Khan, he's proved his chin is pretty damn good now.

    Rios wins this. Rios would get in the inside and **** Khan.

    Rios pressure and power would get him in the late rounds. Khan MIGHT be able to stick and move all 12, but I doubt it.

    :hat

    If that was average, Murray would hate to see above average. Rios beat the crap out of him. Some people will forever underestimate Rios no matter how many people he beats up and KOs. The truth is, Rios is a force to be reckoned with and he will be a hard fight for anyone from 135 to 147. I would pick him over anyone other than Mayweather or Pacman.

    Who the hell has Khan EVER "slaughtered"? Khan groupies live in a fantasy world.

    Rios is a stylistic nightmare for Khan. Rios fights on the inside and is relentless in his attacks, can bang as well. See nothing other than a Rios stoppage at around 9. Khan just cannot fight on the inside and Rios would bully him.

    I said Rios months ago in similar threads and continue to say Rios is a horriblke style match up for Khan, he'd eat him alive, so would Ortiz

    Khan can't keep elite fighters off him and his lack of inside game is a recipe for disaster.

    Interesting bout.

    Neither fighter displays anything approaching superior defensive attributes.

    I suspect both fighters have their share of moments in a highly entertaining, back-and-forth affair.

    The fact that Rios hits like a mother****er and loves to wage war at close quarters, coupled with Khan's inability to keep guys like him at distance, makes me lean toward Brandon,
