Boxing got just what it needed on Saturday. Another young fighter, who brings it and has huge knockout power. In an era, where the sport's becoming more Latino and eastern European, it also doesn't hurt that he's American.
In a fight on Showtime, Rios stood toe-to-toe with Miguel Acosta and brawled for 10 rounds. Rios a 24-year-old from Kansas, who's now training in Oxnard, Ca. is brash and good with the media. Combine that with his fighting style and Bob Arum is salivating.
Yahoo! Sports' lead boxing writer Kevin Iole talked with us about the big fights on the horizon for Rios. First up could be Marco Antonio Barrera and if Juan Manuel Marquez can't forge a deal with Manny Pacquiao, Rios is in the mix for JuanMan as well.
