Hearn interview today, says that Rios is one they're looking at for Brook's first defense on December 6th(Khan fighting same night). So if it comes off, who wins and why?
Brandon Rios uses his rangy powerfull jab to beat Brook in the early rounds...Brook is forced to make it an inside fight as his outside ability can't match Rios. Rios holds & smothers Brook's attempt at inside work...Whilst Brook is trying to get on the inside Rios does some nice counterpunching effectivly using Brook as a punching bag...goes to a clear Rios UD. See what I did there?
I saw the interview as well, Brook wins easy but it wont look pretty. Get a different opponent in my opinion.
brook should b able to outbox him at this point of rios career. brook looks like a big welter as well. and it wil prolly b a home town fight which isnt good for rios. rios hasnt looked good in a while even his win vs alvarado wasnt alll that imressive considering the stoppage might of been early.
