I'm actually pretty hyped for this fight, as I expect it to be an all-out war. Neither of these guys like each other, and both guys have fun styles. Antillon had a FOTY candidate with Soto and has been competitive in his title fights. Rios was being dominated by Acosta, but showed that heart to pull it out. This will be FOTY no doubt, and I give the edge to Rios. I think in those late rounds, he's going to outwork Antillon, and he'll have just a little more to take it. Both guys are going to land hellacious shots all night, and I wouldn't miss this fight.

Definitely a possible FOTY candidate but I have a little hunch that Rios will destroy Antillon within 5!

Shit, even if it is a 5th round TKO victory for Rios, Antillon will go down swinging. I think it will be a very close decision for Rios, as Antillon has held his own with top level fighters in the division. Soto didn't blow him out and neither did Acosta. I don't see why Rios is going to be different, but we'll see.

Molina is beating the shit out of Cintron...
Everybody gave up on Lara after he fought to a Draw with this guy.... Molina looks to be a pretty good fighter. |
