    Isn't Mike Alvarado in a pretty decent match-up on the card?
    I think Abril is being a little overlooked, I think Rios should stop him but I wouldn't be surprised to see an upset

    My thoughts are that Abril should give Rios a tougher challenge than Antillon or Murray did. I'm in the minority here, but I believe this may turn into a solid bout of fisticuffs.

    Abril could pull of the upset, but I really doubt it, Rios will just be too much for him.

    Rios vs Acosta.

    I believe it was the 4th round (my memory is going don't flame me if I'm wrong) where Rios looked a little worse for the wear at the end of a round.

    He can take some hellacious shots. But there will be a point in his career where his chin just can't take that many big shots before giving in.

    I think at 140 Rios will have to alter his style. He is going to have to take less clean bombs. Or else with bigger guys, that chin very well may get dented.

    Rios got nailed with some big shots by Acosta and took them well, but sooner or later Rios will face a big puncher who knocks him on his ass, it's not out of the realm of possibility that Abril has his moments Saturday night.

    Cheers Capt.

    So Rios has weight problems again, how unprofessional, but then what's new. It kind of puts a damper on the PPV doesn't it, if Rios' fight with Abril goes forward, only Abril can take home the vacant WBA lightweight title. I hope Abril stomps his ass, i'm sick of Rios' bullshit.

    Thumbs up Re: JMM vs. Fedchenko and Rios vs. Abril - Saturday night fight thread

    I believe the Rios vs Abril card will be up first from Vegas @9:00 PM ET, after that, my guess is, the action on HBO will switch to JMM vs Fedchenko in Mexico City @ somewhere around 10:00 to 10:30 PM ET

    At Las Vegas (HBO PPV): Brandon Rios vs. Richard Abril, 12 rounds, for vacant WBA lightweight title; Mike Alvarado vs. Mauricio Herrera, 10 rounds, junior welterweights.

    And:

    At Mexico City (HBO PPV): Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Sergey Fedchenko, 12 rounds, for vacant WBO interim junior welterweight title; Saul Roman vs. Richard Gutierrez, 10 rounds, middleweights; Daniel Sandoval vs. Michel Rosales, 10 rounds, welterweights.


    The fights start in about 45 mins so i'm off to hunt a stream and a couple Newcastle Brown Ales in the 'fridge.

    Im looking forward to seeing Marquez back in action, hes always great to watch.

    I really dont understand why Rios agreed to fighting at 135 again after failing to make weight against Murray. Fair enough he thought he was getting a fight with Gamboa, but after that fell through I would have thought he would make his 140 debut. It's a bit embarrising him not making the weight again IMO, I just hope he deals with Abril in style and moves up to 140 and start makes noise in the division. Rios is strong, and I think he will get through tonight, he is fun to watch and with the build up I do think this will be a good fight to watch. I wonder if Abril will want to fight with Rios, we will see. Rios needs to put on a performace tonight and move up to 140 where he needs to make an impression.

    I would love to see him against Devon Alexander at 140, I thought Devon was impressive against Maidana. I think Devons boxing ability would be able to test the strength of Rios and would be a great showdown.

    You almost gotta believe Rios does this shit on purpose, fuck him I hope Abril kicks his ass tonight.
