    Acosta/Rios. Another fight to look forward to.

    This could be quite the battle. Seems pretty even.

    Who wins? How's it going to go down?

    Please share your thoughts.

    Yup.. this fight can open up much bigger fights for either fighter. Rios wants to fight Soto next.. then move up to 140. It can get even better..

      Both Rios and Soto have tough fights up next, but that would be a great matchup as well.

      The matchups at 140 would be insane as well.

        Yep.. assuming they both win, rios vs soto would be action packed. If rios gets past soto.. he won't have to cut as much weight and fill in at Jr. WW very easily. He may be lacking in the skills department, but, makes up for it with his heart and grit. He reminds me of a smaller/bulkier Margarito.. constant pressure with a tough chin. That could cause problems with them dudes at 140.. since there is nobody at Jr. WW with that kind of style that can give anyone problems.

          Acosta has no inside game at all. I expect Rios to rough him up on the inside.

            Riod does seem to take punches very well. I am curious to see if Acosta can hurt him.

              Rios is one of the strongest lightweights I've seen in forever. His skill deficiencies will eventually get the best of him though. At times Lowther seemed to be giving as well as he was taking from Rios. I'm going with Acosta by decision, but a Rios KO wouldn't surprise me.

                  Rios does have a heart that you don't usually see in the younger fighters.
