Brandon Rios Comeback Fight: More Like Come'on...

Brandon Rios is an exciting fighter.  He hung in there in his fight with Manny Pacquiao, but didn't win.  This fight was supposed to be his comeback fight and it was hindered by a DQ.  Rios, if I remember correctly was complaining that Chaves was sticking his thumb in his eye during clinches.  Well, the referee listened to the complaints and DQ'd Chaves.  The fight was so close to the end, you'd wish the ref would've just let them fight it out for the last 3 rounds.  Rios did not want the fight to end this way, he looked angry and pissed off about the DQ even though he had won.  Who's next for Brandon?  I don't know, but I hope it's a bigger name than someone like Chaves.  I would love to see Rios Vs. Broner.  I honestly believe Broner would give Rios problems, but the fight would still be a competition between both.

Mayweather Vs Maidana 2: Rematch is on!

Ok, I haven't been watching too much boxing lately.  The last fight I saw was the first Mayweather vs. Maidana match.  Floyd Mayweather won that one.  I think he lost the first couple of rounds, but he won the rest convincingly.  I think he will win the rematch even easier.  I remember reading a Mayweather getting knocked out prediction on a boxing blog(Xerndro Boxing) that had a poll up that suggested Floyd would get KO'd.  It didn't have too many votes and still doesn't.  I wonder why. My question to anyone reading this is this.  How many of you think Floyd will have it easier this time against Marcos?  He's been in this position before.  I'm not even sure if I'm willing to pay money to see this one.  I'm expecting a repeat tilted with Mayweather looking more impressive.  I almost wish Floyd would have fought someone different since I keep hearing about him only having a few more fights.  Why waste it on someone you beat convincingly?  That's my 2 cents.  Oh, I should also mention that Cotto looked superb against Martinez.  I'd rather see a rematch with Cotto and Floyd.
