    Default Rios loses title on scales

    Failed to make the weight 3times 1st time was 1.4lbs over then 0.6 not sure what the last weigh was, so he loses the title.

    Maybe murray has a better chance now that rios has been strugling with the weigh?

    I actually think the extra weight will help him absorb better shots even though Murray's punching power is nothing to be afraid of..

    There's a chance that he might be a tad sluggish and a boxer who can make him move could use that extra weight against him but Murray isn't capable of outboxing him.. He's going to come straight forward and play right into Rios' hands..

    Rios is going to give him a beating..

    Bogus move, you're a professional make the weight you committed to fight at. Rios probably gave up a little of his purse and fights a fighter that is in the weight class below his true class. Can't wait to see his hydrated weight. Trashy but, after all, we are talking about Rios.

    I don't like Rios and I hate it when fighters lose the title on the scales, but if he can't make weight I suppose he deserves the punishment.

    He'll probably still win, but it may not be easy if he's dehyrdated.

    Saw this coming really. Dudes looked like a soft jr welter in last couple to me. Rios is "fun tv" but will go down as flavor of the month, clocks ticking.

    Rios has been struggling with weight for a while. Guys who fight at 135 don't weigh 150 or so in the ring on a regular basis. 90% of the guys who fight at 135 weigh around 143-145 in the ring. Not 150. When you weigh what the junior welters usually weigh in the ring, then you probably should be fighting in that weight class.

    Rios tried to unnaturally kill his body to make 135 for a while now. Finally his body told him no. Blame his trainer, his manager, his promoter, and him. All of them know he shouldn't have been at 135 and all of them kept rolling the dice.

    Dumb move on Rio's part, not only will it cost him his title, but $20,000 he gives to Murray to boot.

    It's very unprofessional to not make weight for a title fight, and this kind of shit that wrecks your credibility.

    Guys, the big news here is that in order to keep the fight booked, Rios agreed that he won't gain more than 10 lbs. overnight (he gets re-weighed at his hotel at 9am tomorrow). That means that he will end up coming in *lighter* and much weaker than he has in the past.

    Or, maybe more likely, he'll miss that weight and the fight will be canceled.

    He looked super weakened and dry at 136. This isn't a case of him not trying hard enough to make weight and coming in fat. It's a case of him having legitimately having outgrown 135 a while ago. He'll still be biggish at 140.

    No chance that Gamboa fight ever happens in light of this -- Rios has to move up. Hopefully that means better chances of Gamboa/Donaire and Rios/Maidana.

    I think most of us here shame the same opinion and that is sucked in! It is Brandon Rios we are talking about, classless dude with a big mouth getting what's coming to him, and I have no sympathy for him and his predicament!

    I am really not a fan of Danny Garcia and his stable of fighters actually (Marg, Rios)!!!

    Agreed, I usually don't let a fighters persona weigh on my opinon of them all that much but goddamn...Rios comes across like a special needs bully, guy must have an IQ under 80 ffs.

    Rios re-weighs 146.4, fight with Murray is on | RingTV

    By tonight he will be even heavier. I hope Murray exhausts him but fighting someone so much bigger ain't really fair. Either way Rios sucks. (awesome quality ink across his chest tho!)
