It was such a savage KO, I don't think anyone outside of his camp knows how that will affect him. He is obviously not a Roy Jones type of fighter and is no stranger to taking big punches, but nobody takes anything positive from that type of pole axe and he'd never actually been iced out before. Thing is right until that point, he looked a lot better against Marquez than he had in his few fights prior, against Bradley at least.

Does anyone remember when the Rios fight was actually announced, how long after that fight? It strikes me he wouldn't have taken it if there was reason to expect he was in a bad way from it, but it could just be his own ego refusing an easier opponent.
