Freddy Roach: " Jorge Linares would kill Brandon Rios "

[FinitoElDinamita]

Agree or disagree?

[Pavlik]

umm no. other way around.

[ElTerribleMorales]

I actually agree with him to a point, sorry the only real thing that Rios has going for him is he can take a beating and he's huge next to his opponents. IMO he's really overrated due to this, any small fighter with skill has given him problems and have been ahead on the cards up until the point of the stoppage, Linares is far more skilled and defensively sound for the most part compared to the likes of Acosta and Antillon, add in his power and I don't see why he wouldn't be able to beat up Rios and badly.

Bingo! Damm.. I couldnt have said it better myself.

Just recently Linares could not put away Rocky Juarez, I could just imagine what bully Rios would do.

[Spicoli]

I gotta agree with ElTerrible. Rios is very fun but he's flavor of the month to me and I think he'll have a short shelf life. He's strong but as face first as they come and is insulted if you dont punch him, he also looks soft in the midsection and should move up any day now.

Who the fuck has ever put Juarez away

Humberto Soto? nope, UD

The great Marco Antonio Barrera on either of his two fights? nope a SD and a UD

JMM? nope, another UD

John? no a Draw and UD, Litzau? nope, a technical decision, and both Sanabria and Escobedo by UD

Linares was the first guy to put him on his ass and beat him the full 10 rounds

my bad you're right, I actually just saw the last few rounds via streaming at the time

[blegit]

I strongly disagree with Roach on this one. Linares has the ability to stay away enough to outbox Rios to a points win but nothing more. Even with that possibility I don't see him staying away for 10-12 rounds without getting overwhelmed enough for Rios to catch up with him. Rios by stoppage or UD with a couple of knockdowns.

[Galaxy]

I think it would be a battle for both guys, I think Linares does a lot of damage early, but gets caught, maybe even dropped once or twice. As the fight progresses & Linares slows Rios tags him more often & has him hanging on or takes him out down down stretch. If it gets to the cards I say it's a draw

Somebody put a big sausage in this big mouth over rated trainers mouth already . The more his fighters continue too lose the more he opens those studdering lips .. Here is a better headline : "Roach's fighters would be better off in their careers had they been trained by Rios trainer " Message to Roach STF up already you are irrelevent as long as Pac loses or under performs bercause you have no training skill !!! Just plain tired of this fool in the headlines ......

Just confirms Roach is retarded. He is slighting Pac's next opponent and uses the term "Kill". So it just goes to show another cherry picked Pac opponent. Should Pac win impressively Roach has no business talking shit let alone suggesting a PBF fight. The truth is a talented Linares went downhill under his tutelage. Once again the guy is talking himself up and using Linares as the pawn. Self promoting himself at a time he should be quietly caring for his meal ticket Pac. Pac needs to fire Freddie the Freeloader already ! Roach is showing symptoms of retardation ............

[p4pking]

Roach is a very good trainer, and he's only showing symptoms of Parkinsons Having said that, any trainers opinion on their own guys is hardly objective. Linares is so much more talented than Rios, but he's really vulnerable and Rios is anything but, as well as a fair bit bigger. I'd expect it could go either way with Rios taking a beating unless/until Linares gets hurt. Maybe they are talking about making the fight assuming Rios loses to Manny, would make sense.
