I disagree Miles, it certainly wasn't thrilling, but Abril boxes somewhat like Floyd Mayweather. On the inside he uses that shoulder and elbow for defense, and sniped Rios from the outside with some really clean punches.

Abril was certainly a lot more pleasing to watch than Carlos Molina was against Kirkland.

Abril is a very talented boxer, looks a lot like Ricky Quiles if anyone remembers him. Anyway Abril had great stamina, a smart gameplan and fast hands. He also took a few hard shots from Rios and didn't budge.
