Are you okay with Brook/Rios August 8th?

[ruthless rocco]

Its a fair matchup, Rios has shown his limitations, but he is sturdy and comes to fight. It's hardly Mayweather/Baldomir matchup bad.

Baldomir was the WBC champ at 147. He had just beat Zab Judah to win that belt and had defended it by KOing Arturo Gatti in 9 rounds.

Floyd had just moved up from 140 and had won the IBF's 147 title by beating Zab in his most recent fight. Floyd has always been a WBC fighter so of course he would fight Baldomir for it.

Don't try to discredit Floyd for fighting Baldomir, he did it for the title. He had just beat Zab (who was the previous WBC belt holder), so Mayweather would have had the strap had Zab not lost to Baldomir... And the previous WBC title holder was Cory Spinx who Mayweather would have beat easy. So no bullshit Miles. Mayweather fought Baldomir for the title.

Now what has Rios done in his career aside from showing he can get the shit beat out of himself by little 135 & 140 pounders all the while failing to make weight in 2 or his 3 title fights?!

Rios' poorly trained chubby little ass is going to get beat by Brook and badly! He's only moved up in weight because too lazy to train and has happily embraced his role as "tough gatekeeper who is easy to beat".
