I think Antillon is a real talent and have been high on him for a while. The man has a sensational body attack. Rewatched Acosta bout last week and Acosta had him zeroed for that uppercut from round 1. But as much as I hate it, mass for mass and between the two frontal type fighters I think Rios takes this one. Rios cannot spell reverse gear and Antillon will have to be the boxer. I think he gets tagged after investing in the body, stands his ground and a wide open free swinging scrap ensues. This fight is a must see while it lasts but unless Antillon has found a mobile high guard backfoot I have to go with Rios on mass and attrition. Hope to be wrong.
Rios is a fool... lol.
What a shit talker, reminds me of my cousins and all these punks running around the LA area.
Should be a helluva fight though.
Brandon Rios comes across like a complete douchebag, I can't wait until he gets knocked out. However, he is a very good fighter and I don't think Antillon has the power or the size to keep Rios at bay.
Rios by mid-round TKO.
haha I know. Rios reminds me of those cholos at the swap meets. He's such a Los Angeleno.Quote:

Rios-Antillon press conference is heated, but not as hot as the fight will be | RingTV
I've a fan of Rios when hes in the ring, since he fights with a lot of heart. But outside the ring , hes seems to be a douche
Oof!..
This is a good fight. Rios is a shit talking punk ass bitch.
I think some people are selling Antillon short here.
As good and as fierce as Rios has looked let's not forget Antillons valiant uphold vs. Soto.
He showed a lot grit in that fight.
Antillon is not to be underestimated but Rios is a whole different animal as opposed to Soto. Soto's best weight was anywhere between 126-130 and he's still a good fighter at 135 but what he didnt carry with him up here is his punching power. Power used to be a big part of Soto's arsenal but he's now having to box more and giving his foes less to think about. Antillon is a limited fighter but he was able to have his way with him because of that reason. Rios would have hurt Soto badly.Quote:

There's two ways to beat Rios and Out-boxing is one of them. WEll, Antillon doesn't have the boxing ability so he can't go this route. Another way to beat Brandon is to out-brawl the brawler but history has shown us that Brandon has the better chin/punch resistance and packs a much harder punch so Antillon doesnt have an edge here either. So how is he going to win? He's gonna have to come in strapped, bring in a mini-bat, or wear some brass knuckles Margarito-style or someshit.
They say anything can happen in boxing but in some fights, the outcome is just too predictable. Nothing favors Antillon..
