The only way rios wins is on cuts. Even the unKOable Margarito was KO'd after eating enough mosely right hands. Danny could KO him if he lands that left with regularity. personally I'd favour a wide margin UD for Garcia
Garcia is better than anyone Rio's has fought. He has experience against guys like Khan and Morales. Rios does not. Big difference.
Problem with this analogy is that Mosley's technique and ring IQ are superior to Garcia's by an extreme margin.
Very even fight, imo. I would lean Garcia on points, but would not be suprised at all if Rios beat him on points. Rios would be the one bringing the fight, and could win that way.
Garcia destroys Rios. Brandon will walk into anything Garcia throws and that means those looping ass hooks Garcia throws that will knock your lights out.
Would be a great fight. 50-50 IMO. I think if anyone will beat Garcia it will be Marquez, Matthysse, or Rios. He is fun, Highly talented - But flawed.
Rios is not better than Khan. He has a great brawling style if someone fights his fight, but if Garcia can land on Morales and Khan with that left hook, he can land it on Rios. And it looks like it will hurt Rios. In the early rounds it will not land too clean because Rios will be moving forward and Garcia will not get much leverage on it, but once Rios slows down in the mid rounds he starts to land it.
Rios has been down before and Garcia has never even been wobbled. Rios was picked apart by Abril. Alvarado was weak and fought a **** fight. Garcia will slow down down Rios with a body attack, he comes in to straight forward and leaves his body way to exposed. Danny has a perfect body attack. He'll take a savage beating to the chops and his best asset- his pressure will be minimized. Those looping hooks he throws will become slower and weaker and when they do he's done for. Chin or no chin , he's going to feel those bombs when they land.
Yeah, Rios is actually a very concise, short puncher. Not looping at all. It's Garcia that throws looping shots.
