Im intrigue to this match-up especially with Acosta since over the win against then unbeaten Antillon by Ko, although i want Acosta to face Soto but it seems Rios vs Acosta will be in.
Boxing - Rios to challenge Acosta
Acosta wins againts Moses, Antillon i guess
Rios with Peterson
Whos your pick?
Think Acostas win over Antillion looks even better after Urbano went thru war with long term and entrenched Soto. No guessing.....was a quality undoing of a solid strong pro by Acosta.
Rios is massive strength and full of desire. Honestly not a whole lot to the imagination after that though. A certain face full for anyone. Acosta is cagey as they come. Not sure 1 round in 7 months preps you for onslaught of Rios really ??? Split but I lean towards guile and skill to undo Rios in a close one.
Sick of these fucking corrupt organisations, what the fuck happened to John Murray being the number 1 in the division??
It should be Murray fighting in this fight.
What makes Rios a tough SOB is he's not scared and he shows you just that.
He brings it and doesn't let off.
Like his style but not his personality.
I guess both Acosta and Rios had good wins its really a good match up, although Murray could face Soto hoping him some exposure in U.S.Quote:

Acosta vs Rios - Top Rank Boxing
Its official Feb 26, 2011. - great match up.
Agree his style and grit in the ring are very likable...Too bad he is an asshole of a person....But hey let him keep looking up to Margarito and praise old plaster paws.....he will end up just like him....Except he will fall long before winning multiple titles....His style is not a hard one to figure out and a boxer with a decent chin will pick him apart...Quote:

Should be a cracker, I favour Acosta
bumping this from december, since all you effers, are so interested in this fight tonight. Showtime tonight at 7pst. bastards....:D Also Antonio Demarcos fighting Reyes as well.
Man I like Rios...but I like face first young prospects getting beat more. Think tricky Acosta survives early
Great to see DeMarco back. I still believe ;D
I think rios will win, but I think Acosta will give him a good fight, possible upset, if you consider the champ winning a upset.
Everyone that has posted in this thread is a pimp and I can vouch for that !! What up byyachess !! Demarco Is no joke and I'm pickin bam bam as well
Curt Menefee :-X Yeh they have essentially imported Acosta (aka trinket holder) for the heavily pushed Rios. Rios should come out varied and busy...Acostas uppercut and guile sank Urbano late
Long road back for rangy DeMarco but he was really improving prior to Valero mugging him. Nice finisher
Well thought out 1st round for DeMarco and spearing Reyes with jabs and straight lefts. Cut over Reyes left eye, he's slow but he's pressing. Demarco picking his spots and lands big right & left hook combo to end 2nd. Shapping up for long night in Sanchez corner unless he explodes on Antonio
I like this fight, you can hear the punches, they arent pitty patting. Marroquin has some pop in his shots.
DeMarco timing that left nice. Sanchez really has to formulate an attack or he's on his way to a bloody stoppage...really looks bigger then Antonio, longer?
Sanchez comes to life late in 4th round, real sloppy and wide but roughs up DeMarco a bit in corner. Nice scrap developing
DeMarco needs to get those straight shots in the mix and stay busy...he's giving brawlin Sanchez life. DeMarco is levels above this guy but coasting a lil... Gave Sanchez the 5th round :-X
Damn guess my stream isnt showing Demarco fight....and its in portuguese.
Menefee should not be calling fights. Rough round fro DeMarco in 6th as Sanchez mixes ugly. Sanchez has stepped it up big in pressure and Antonio must take tempo back
Tricky when seen to judges yeh...Sanchez body moving Antonio as much as his punches, very physical and forcing pace...DeMarcos painting himself into a corner and will become free swinging
Its a wide street affair now...Sanchez might as well be glued to DeMarcos chest. Not alot of huge shots landed by either guy but scrappy inside, Sanches owns pressure and has nullified DeMarcos boxing big time
the rios fight is tough one to call. acosta aint no walk in the park. i heard he lost 3 in a row but stayed undefeated since '03? He also KOed Urbano Antillon?
I'm pulling for Rios though cuz he is bigger name, and there's a talk that Gesta mah boi could face him late this year. That would be huge. I hope Acosta won't spoil it.
End of 10th was swinging for the fences. Something tells me Sanchez wont get respect for how he's roughed up DeMarco and forced pace. Antonio much sharper but has had to adjust to opponent, brawling like he used too and looks iffy on ropes
Thats a huge step up if Gesta takes that fight. May be too early. I dont see how much you can learn fighting the same guys over and over like Gesta has done so far.
DeMarco taunts and Sanchez comes full steam in 12th...nice upper from Antonio and again DeMarco on ropes, Sanchez should have gloves on each shoulder as well as fists...very mugging ugly inside and DeMarco spinning out but feeling it...brutal thuggish 12th round, hard as shit to score in spots...off the top I say 7-5 DeMarco.
I think it's a huge step too. He hasn't done that much. But I just know he's got potential against world class fighters. I hope he gets Katsidis first before Rios.Quote:

...... Wow if Sanchez could hit is right. I thought demarco would slaughter that dude
It's not good for Rios that Cortez is ref, lets see if he is consistent with his super fast breaks. You get a maximum of 2 seconds of inside fighting.
Cortez makes me fear the opening bell ??? He IS a distraction...Acosta boxing him big early on. He looks soft in the body
Cortez apparently doesnt believe in the whole 1 hand free idea. Him and Smoger are like exact opposites.
Is Rios just Skipper Kelp :-X Acostas legs better keep up with his hands....cant wait for Antillion vs Soto rematch!!!
That was a sharp nice round of contrasting punches by both guys...fun round to watch. WOW...Rios insulted if you dont hit him, Acostas uppercut is deadly!
Man Acosta is aslippery dude. He rocked Rios a lil bit there.
Tide shifting BIG time...Rios backing up and getting smacked up
Rios should go for broke all out...the longer it goes the worse off. Acosta is a boxing fool right now, too many gears for Rios...Now or never feeling.
Good pace in this fight I think its favoring Acosta, he is making Rios chase him all over the ring.Winging those right hands when he gets close.
Rios getting a tad closer but getting hammered in process...Acosta should forget about over hand and come under, Rios is on a leash for uppercuts....no bodywork for either guy really...have Acosta up 5-0 but Rios should floor pressure.
