I would really like this fight about 3-4 years ago, but I just don’t see Rios being able to be busy enough. I used to be a fan of Garcia but he just went soft for too long. Then after losing to Thurman, he just disappears instead of getting back and making a name for himself again.
Rios looks good weight-wise and has for some time.
Garcia-Rios makes no sense to me. It's a no-win situation for Garcia.
I think it's seen as easy money by team DSG.Quote:

Garcia really needs to step up his game.
If Rios is really serious and trained hard, and he fights like he used to, then I could see an upset because Garcia doesn’t like pressure. I just don’t see it though.
Rios is washed up now, surely?Quote:

Having said that, Rios needs to be in really good nick, Garcia likes playing the boxer, stick-and-move, sneaky left hook counter. Ultimately Rios will eat too many of Garcia's best weapon.
Both made weight.
Triple header time! I think this 'can' will come to fight tonight. Lets hope!
Ugas gets the knockdown in 1st.
Sorry was still in the other thread. Great win for Ugas.
Ugas KO 7, good finish.
They both looked like punchers yet the records said otherwise.
Stoked for Ugas, quite the career turn around by him over last number of fights. Nice ko. Robinson looked like he stuck a fork in a socket.
Porter-Thurman interview. Bank on the rematch, Al will.
Thurman still harping on his elbow injury ;D.
Yeah, they had a couple different contrived dust ups today. I'm wondering if they're really going to do Garcia/Spence. I mean, Garcia isn't going to wait around on Thurman right? Guy fights once a year if you're 3rd in line you have to move on right?Quote:

A close 1st round. Gave it to Benavidez.
Clear round for Benavidez, 2-0.
Gavril started this fight with more ambition than he did last time. Good body work
Garcia pacing holes in the floor talking to Jim Gray there. Looks very ready to go. And no Elton John sun glasses???.
3-0 Benavidez, looking good.
Niiice. Benavidez showing improvement. His uppercut takes names.
Big left uppercut rocked Gavril early in the 4th. Gavril fighting back. Benavidez back in control over the last minute. 4-0 Benavidez.
Gavril do well to keep taking this beating
He's still there which is the best you can say for him. Maybe Benavidez gasses punching him in the head.Quote:

Brisk pace and both guys throwing. I've got Benavidez with a clean sweep though 8, although Gavril is making it a fight. Man he can take a shot.
Corner may have to save Gavril from himself.
Gavril hard as nails
A nail only has one life. Ok that was corny :-X;D.Quote:
