THIS WILL BE A FUCKING WAR!

I'm a fan of bam bam after his last fight.

"I am 100 percent and they say they are a 100 percent so that equals a big force that's going to be in the ring.

"It's not just SHOWTIME now, it is war time. There will be no boxing on Saturday night. We are both brawlers who will try to beat the crap out of each other. Our skills are pretty much the same, no skill ... just your typical street fight.

"For the first time in my life I'm actually going to make weight days before the weigh-in. I can't believe it. It's because I'm working with my new strength and conditioning coach Henry Castro. He's been working my butt off." -- Rios.


"We are just days away and we can't wait for Saturday night. All the work has been done. Brandon's never been in better shape and has never worked as hard for a fight.

"We have a world title to defend here. This is serious business so there's no more messing around.

"I can't wait. I'm so excited, just like Brandon is for Saturday night."-- Robert Garcia.

"The moment is almost here and it's a day I've been waiting for for awhile. We are both tough fighters and we want to leave it all out in the ring and that's what we're going to do.

"We are two guys who come forward and that's what we're going to do on Saturday night. We will both impose our will and someone will get broken down.

"This is a pivotal fight for me, one of the biggest of my career. This is the goal I've always had for myself, to be fighting the best there is."-- Urbano Antillon


"I think it's time for all the talking to stop and to get these boys in the ring to settle this.

"We've had a great training camp and so has Robert's guy. This is my fourth camp with Urbano and he's finally gotten it - finally bought into the system. We totally changed his method of training. In the Soto fight he was tentative and not that confident. You could tell. And he was two pounds overweight at the weigh-in. Now there are no problems and we are ready to go.-- Abel Sanchez

FIRE WORKS!!!... Toobad ill miss this fight live ill be camping. But eh when I come back first thing ill do is watch this on my DVR.

I think Rios wins convincingly, most likely by stoppage.

probably Rios take him down. But still can go either way. and gonna be good fight.

Anyone know what time the broadcast comes on Sat?

7 PST/ 10 EST.

Thanks

Kermit Cintron

"I'm feeling really light right now which is different than I have for my last couple of fights. It's been great to have Mike Lee down in Houston with us fulltime and training with Ronnie (Shields).

"I sparred with Carlos five years ago but none of that matters now. I know he's gotten better but I just look at him like just another opponent. When you're a boxer you have to be ready to go in there with anyone and that's what I'm going to do.

Rios- 135 lbs.
Antillon- 134 3/4 lbs.

Cintron- 149 1/4 lbs.
Molina- 151 3/4 lbs.

Can't wait for this fight. It should be great.

Dare I put some bucks on Antillon?

I got Antillon by stoppage in the middle rounds.

Rios late stoppage.

awesome fight

LOL @ Arum talking about putting him in there with Manny. It will be an even more viscous beating than Marg.

That was a good fight.

Bam Bam is just too strong for any LW.
Tenacious S.O.B.
The big fight to make at LW is Rios vs Guerrero.
Soto, Guerrero moving to JWW, makes that division even deeper.

Cintron's layoff showed.
Needs to be active.
WW is better suiter for him.
