Rios: Brandon is a passionate fighter and very confident, that sweeps the opponent's power and determination. It can be defeated, and even evil, but is redoubling its efforts until his enemies finally folded. Rios is a good arsenal of punches, will be able to come to the center or sides of the same speed.

Antillon: Urban has a pre-move style, with all manuals blows in his arsenal. Square a little, which makes it easy to hit, but has a bad left hook to the head and body. This is an aggressive, powerful rival, well educated and very tense.

Recent form

Rios: He fought last February, scoring a KO in Acosta reveals an emphatic coming-out. With this victory, he immediately went from being known as Antonio Margarito is mouthy gym-mate for a legitimate force in the game. Two fights before that, Anthony Peterson 30-0 dominated Rios to consolidate its status as a contender. Since a 2008 draw with Manuel Perez, none of its last 9 opponents went through with him.

Antillon: After losing for Acosta in 2009, it became clear Antillon was overcooked, after nine years of waiting for title shot. Redeem and restore some luster to his courageous decision to the loss of Soto, but his entry into a world-class ranks has been rocky. Located within a few wins and losses between Acosta Soto, to keep the idea of ​​another victory in his mind.

Questions and intangibles

Rios: Will hold a title to make him a better fighter or get him to be lenient towards success? Is the combination of durability and Antillon power can be a package that will trouble Rios? Is it a possible future, Kingpin light or just one of many security holders WBA light forgettable?

Antillon: It is getting better in the attempt to win the title, almost beat Soto after falling to Acosta. Will third time be the charm? Rios or the ability to amplify Antillon let fools out in the cold? He did well against the most Flatline Soto games, but it can handle extra spark Rios?

Rios vs Antillon Prediction

Antillon is a qualified candidate that can not be neglected. If Rios does not approach this game with the same mentality he had with Acosta, Antillon is the kind of guy who can exploit it. But I try to be as Rios easier time with Antillon he did with Acosta. Antillon is not very large, awkward, or difficult to find, and Rios will be able to drill a level flight with maximum leverage.

While Antillon is able to get out of Rios with a plumb Oxnard product showed a growing sense of time to light the afterburner. Fight close to home and enjoy some voice support Rios will jump into the task at hand. Antillon will do well, and exchanges will be heated and perhaps even a little at a time. But as the flow turns more imperturbable consistency Antillon Rios has a good amount of danger.

Rios will start to come off in six or seven rounds. The sentence begins to show in a besieged Antillon, which will remain wild in the light of the case, looking more and more lost in the 9th round or so. Rios will load the full arsenal of Antillon in the 10th and forcing a shutdown.
