    Man really all of those are great matchups for Rios he's quickly becoming a fan favorite and will be a can't miss fighter. I don't know if he's ready for someone like Judah and since these 2 are hotheads I would expect alot of smack talk and drama. But if I had a realistic choice I'd say Soto or Katsidis are the ones most likely to happen. I won't be complaining just make any of those fights happen.

    I'd love to see him vs Kats but I think Katsidis deserves a tune up.

    Plenty of fights where one fighter was KO'd have had rematches:

    Corrales v Castillo
    Arce v Hussein
    Mosley v Vargas
    Pacquiao v Barrera
    Tyson v Holyfield

    Although most of these happened because of money foremost.

    pretty much exactly what I think. JMM, imho, would take out Rios in another great performance but still wouldn't get a Pac fight out of it. Katsidis would also be non-stop action, all guts and blood.

    There were pretty compelling reasons for those rematches. I see no such reason for Acosta. What's he gonna do different? He already knows he can't stick and move the whole fight, all he can do is try to stand and bang and that's not gonna go well for him either.

    Arce v Hussein was pretty much a beatdown. Same with Rafa Marquez v Silence Mabuza. You're right though, he has little chance in a rematch. It's a lot like JMM v Diaz II.

    Why is everyone leaving him out when it comes to Rios opponents? I think it would be a great clash of styles.

    first of all rios just won the 135 belt. maidana and matthyysee and victor are all to big . hes not gunna move up . JMM prolly isnt goin to stay at 135.

    kats , soto, antillion , are not available till after april and may.

    he should get that fight goin with JMM if he wants to stay at 135.

    if not get it on wit sum one else rite now.
