###The Miguel Acosta express!### Onwards and upwards to Lightweight glory!

Here's a better quality version of the Cordoba murder:

Damn, I didn't realise just how brutal that right hand was.

 

Aguacerito's been sparring Fernando Angulo, Jaider Parra, Alfonso Perez, Marco Avendano and Frank Rojas to prepare for the Rios fight.

''I'm comfortable with the work we have done and we've had a great preperation. I feel good about the movement and speed that I've acheived with my hands. Today I was with boxers of a lesser and greater weight, left-handed and right-handed, and I saw everything. And I did well.''

Only a week away guys until one express train keeps chugging along and a hype train gets derailed!

 

“To be here in Las Vegas, it’s always been a dream of mine to fight here. I know this is a great opportunity because many people will be seeing me for the first time. I’m coming to show people that I could be the best lightweight in the world. It’s something that I will show on the 26th; I am the best lightweight in the world because we know how good Brandon Rios is.

“This is without a doubt the toughest challenge… but, you know what, I’m ready for it and I will pass this challenge.”

“My mentality is to fight the best lightweights in the world and this is the first big test and there will be more to come. And I know I’ll be coming back to make my second defense in Las Vegas.”

 

Thanks guys. If Miguel had a stronger chin he more than likely would have won. But, you cant make your chin stronger. Massive respect to Acosta anyways, still at least a top 5 lightweight in my eyes. Hopefully he'll come back strong.
