Freddie Roach: "I want Amir to stay at 140 and beat Rios just for me"

[HeroBando]

Would be a good fight but could Rios weather the storm to crack Khan's chin?
I don't know about that? Like Roach says Rios is terrible technically and depends on his toughness and KO power. What happens if Khan is too fast and boxes too well for Rios?

Would be good to see. People thought that Anthony was the punching Peterson, and he didn't phase him. He did willingly exchange though, which Amir will try to avoid.

Floyd-Pac; Khan-Rios on the same card May 5..... MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Yeah yeah , back on the Lil yellow school bus .we heard it all before .

Make it happen. I think Rios definitely will carry his firepower there. However at WW, Rios will get KTFO if he does not improve his D.

dumb ass roach talking out his ass and acting like he serious about making fights when he knows Arum wont allow it so he talks big. Bam Bam KO's glass jaw Khan with a ****ing jab.

Freddie Roach: Amir Khan will expose Brandon Rios at 140. I definitely want to see that fight. I want Amir to stay at 140 and beat Rios just for me. Brandon Rios made fun of me before with my Parkinson’s, and even though it was funny, I feel I was disrespected. Brandon is an exchange fighter. He doesn’t even know how to throw a feint, he has no game plan and you can tell. The fight the other night was just two guys in a ring swinging at each other. It was a good fight to watch. There was a lot of action with no skill. It seems as if his coach isn’t teaching him any skill. The same thing goes for Margarito; he follows Cotto all around the ring without cutting the ring off. I mean that is a fundamental skill in boxing. Amir Khan would destroy Brandon Rios. We’ll take that fight!

LMFAO @ Roach still mad about Bam Bam fuckin with him.

Yes, Brandon lacks skill but Khan lacks heart and has no chin!

War Bam Bam!

Get it done!

KHan lacks heart? You a fool?

Chin maybe, but he hasn't been dropped at 140.

[Casual_Fan]

That's a good fight.

Bam Bam's chances go up as the fight progresses.

Khan has better all around boxing skills. Bam Bam fights well on the inside. Both have power. Khan has a so-so chin.

It WILL get personal. Guaranteed.

Good, good fight.

Khan beats Rios, I don't know if he does it easily or not. I thought Khan would beat Maidana easier than he did, but he didn't Then again I think Maidana is better than Rios. Still, I know Khan beats him. Rios just has no defense and comes forward way too much for my liking. It SHOULD be an easy fight for Khan, but maybe i'm overrating him a little. I don't feel like I am underrating Rios though, he is a brawler and he does come forward too much and I don't see him getting far with the elite boxer-types.

I agree I felt Khan would win a wide UD, but did you not feel the KO was there for Maidana?

Khan won 7 out of 9 easily to me (plus a knock down and point taken away) The tenth changed the game.

Even then Khan drew the 11th IMO. If jmm won against PAC for slightly more sharper shots then khan won the 11th and has a shout at 12th.

Fiearly fatboy relies on being bigger and breaking down people. Mofo won't even know what hit him when he feels that jab in his face. Khan will teach that kid boxing lesson.

[English Lion]

This fight would be ****ing sick, it would be a potential classic. You got rios looking to take Khan's head off and with all the possiblity of doing that, then you got Amir khan with his lightning speed and silky skills trying to hurt rios...get it made!
