I don't know, tough call. I will tell you this, If Rios loses, I could care less and it won't even bother me one bit. It's not like a Montiel type of person so eh... whatever happens don't matter.
Brandon Rios is not Mexican. He's a "chicano". besides if he loses, Mexico still has 17 World Champions right now, while Puerto Rican only has 1 or 2, the same as the phillipines, only have 2 world champions.
It's good to see Mexico still having champs, but I'm not a fan of Rios. He is fun to watch and loves to fight, I do have respect for his talent inside the square, but I don't agree with the smack talk. I'm thinking it's basically his competitiveness, maybe that's why he acts the way he does, but theres no excuse for the disrespect he sometimes uses.
