Rios loses title on scales

[Mars_ax]

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?

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 has no class, at the press conference on Thursday after refusing to shake Murray's hand he said
"I saw fear in his eyes...that's why it's got me so hyped, because right now, I hate him. I'm ready to battle, I'm not ready to be your friend. I'm not here to shake your hand. As my opponent, you should be the same way. I'm going to talk shit to you, so you should talk shit back to me"

Apparently Murray and Joe Gallagher thought it was hilarious. Now we know why he was so rattled. Shaking hands is not what you do with friends it's a sign of sportsmanship and an agreement to get down to business, something Rios seems ill prepared for.

Rios is a ferkin' nitwit, too bad Murray won't be able to make this clown pay.

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!)
