Was last night an anomaly, or will Rios do well @ 140?

I don't think Rios can box, I don't believe he is a good in fighter as well, especially looking how he couldn't adjust to the simply plan that Abril brought last night when he was on the inside. I mean seriously, contining to throw the left hook in that situation instead of ad******g and trying to work angles on the inside to atleast attack the body or work a angle to land the right was **** poor.

Also lets not forget Accosta showed some of the difficulty Rios had dealing with movement earlier, and he still hasn't gotten better.

Maidana has been in with a higher caliber of figher than Rios and has definitely accquited himself much better than Rios did last night.

 

I didn't say he would , merely comparing him to Maidana

 

I believe Rios to be limited , but as inside fighting goes , he's one of the best in the sport , if he's allowed to work there , last night he looked very short on answers , i happen to agree , its easy to say he was drained , but if anyone here is being honest , he didn't look himself , he looked like a drained fighter , I'm not making excuses for him , i just thought he looked a little short on work rate at times where you would expect him to work

I thought Acosta and Peterson were getting to Rios before he eventually got to them , but he's limited , thats going to happen !!

Maidana has had one good night against Ortiz and done well late against Khan and thats the sum total of the man , Morales stood in the middle of the ring and boxed his ears off , i dare say if Morales has stood there static against Rios he would of bulldoze red right through him !!! , maybe its me i don't know , i just really do not rate Maidana at all , and i believe this time in 18 months he'll be completely irrelevant

 

Yes
