The guy is killing himself.
He is a punchbag and he enjoys it.
Even if he gives it up. The damage is already done.
Anyone know want to throw some information on the damage each punch does to these guys and the major illnesses boxers develop?
Cheers.

He can be the next Mayorga and play the foil to some more big names.

The high cost of living dangerously | Toronto Star
Long story short, the human brain is nothing to fuck around with.
There is no draft in boxing and these guys and gals know the risk when they step in the ring. This is a gladiator sport not checkers and who are we to decide when a person should call it quits in their chosen profession. People lose their lives everyday from walking across a street or defending their lives from scumbags. Fight on Rios fight on
I think Rios would actually be a better person if he were a vegetable, at least he'd keep a few home care nurses gainfully employed.
I'm OK with Rios continuing, I think he needs a confidence building fight or two before stepping back in against another top guy.
brandon rios is not a quitter....
I agree, until they start showing the the damage through slurred speech or eradicate behavior. I don't think Rios is there yet.Quote:

Rios is still fun to watch when he is fighting someone at his level but it does look like he is punch drunk. I don't see him quitting anytime soon, even when it is time to do so. I hope he is getting a full work up from a neurologist. I don't know if he should retire now but he seems a bit more off than most active boxers.
Rios is very, very stupid to begin with, it's easy to get carried away here. He may have had significant brain damage before he ever had a professional fight, could be he's a crack baby.

Not to change the subject but.... is there a point to your asterisk?
*Rios moved up to 147 and in his first fight there he fought a p4p fighter at his best in his backyard, and didn't get ko'ed, like EVERYONE thought he would. people call Rios trash..and in here I read some of the crap u guys say... lol... u guys r no btter..even worse,IMO.

Win-win situation, as far as I'm concerned.
And do what? Boxing is all he knows and now that he's tasted some money and fame, there is no way he would last working at El Pollo Locos drive through from 9 to 5.. he needs boxing to maintain an extravagant lifestyle.. dont you guys know how he speaks? I dont think he graduated middle school... if he gives up boxing, knowing him, he would probably fall into a life of petty crime..
Rios must fight on.. provodnikov just said the other day that rios fight at 147 is a possibility..
not everybody is the same. some people have thick skulls and can take punishment and end up being fine. i think that he needs boxing. whether or not it shortens his life, at least it will be a good one rather than what he would be doing or not be doing if he quit.
*nah man, u don't say sht like that... I don't wish him a vegetable..and neither do u.. so why say it? U guys r a badass wealth of knowledge on some of this stuff... I'm in th medical field and have literally taken care of people in that state... it's just not funny or amusing.Quote:

*back to boxing... I was told that Rios has always sounded like that, that he isn't punchy, like he sounds. That's just what I heard. Hey, Pac said he was hurt in the 5th...
*man, ur right...isn't that something. I used to work at psych ward, and every now and again, u have to "rock and roll" with an out of control patient... there was this one cat, regular size, but with hands like mittens. Kool ass muthfker, too. I rememeber shaking hands with him and noticing his fingers were like sausages... man, that dude had KO power.Quote:

I saw him and Pac...From that, I figured he had already quit.
Its not just pac its his whole career pf opponents and how he fights.
Perhaps he is stupid already but thats not helping him.
Where are you coming from on this? Are you a big fan of Rios and are trying to look out for his safety? He stopped Antillon badly and he stopped Alvarado in their first fight. Why should he quit if he has the opportunity to make a lot of money in boxing? He also has wins at close to the top level in the sport. There are other big money fights out there for him too. A grudge match with Alvarado. How about a fight with Brooks? Provo?Quote:

Either way, he needs to get himself looked as the slurring and the body language isnt healthy.
Rios will have a short career but I hope he makes some good money and retires in good health.
Me too, I like the gritty way he fights. Hope they all make some good money before they retire.Quote:
