Good old days! Brandon was a great character for the sport of boxing!
these are so artfully produced. Bravo, HBO, bravo.
Rios is one of my favorite fighters, the way he turned the fight around against Acosta was amazing!
Brandon bam bam rios absolute warrior of a fighter!!
love this guy! talks shit backs it up,.goes in and does what he has to do,.kid gots heart
one of my fav fighters!!
Absolute warrior of a fighter totally agree definitely one of my favourite fighters!!
Brandon Has Alot Of Heart .
its incredible how these boxers handle starving themselves for days and still be able to fight the next day let alone win.
story of a pro fighter
Go see a recent interview in 2018 and you’ll notice that boxing has taken a toll on his health. His speech
Wow - I can't believe Rios agreed to fight again at 135 after watching this. Unreal.
Beautifully done HBO!
Wow good job HBO on this video 5 stars and Rios all day !
This is what shortens fighters careers. Kudos to Rios for enduring this insanity.
i've started to watch boxing again since Nick Diaz the MMA fighter got robbed and retired, hopefully this is a fight for the ages not a play it safe points battle
wow this dude is a warrior
two undefeated fighters coming to win.. rios all day
@Ateyurock did he fail the weight limit vs murray? anyway rios is a great fighter, he really learned alot off of margarito, you can see it in his style vs muray!
That shows how big a heart Bam Bam has, what a great fighter right there.
After Gamboa, I want 2 see him fight Maidana cause it would be a toe 2 toe and no one is gonna give up in that fight not like someone else did ........... ;)
this make me feel really hungry
Rios FTW!!!
neither of these fighters (gamboa/rios) are going to have an easy night. brandon please do it right this time with the weight, what you did last time was dangerous, glad you realize this now. gamboa, fight for your country and show what cuban fighters are really about. may the best man win. I like them both.
bam bam rios! we share tha same middle name..lol
Good God HBO makes some good ass television...
Is there anything hbo can't produce so well?
@Dimitri0809 People like Boxing for two major reasons. We like individualized competition (look at how we exalt guys like Kobe Bryant of Lebron James on TEAM sports) and constant physical contact like in Boxing makes for some of the most visceral and tangible form of competition available. The blend of mental and physical strength on display is difficult to match when done right, and a fight could last as little as a few second or the better part of an hour, it all depends on the situation
@copperkipper1 they think training at altitude in mexico caused them to miscalculate the weight and subsequent cut.... he'll make 135, probably for the last time.... gamboa wanted the fight, he didn't even decide to test the waters at 130.... it's a stupid move IMO... he'll get stopped by the naturally much bigger guy.
@ijan1705 the height issue comes in bro....i am a boxer 5'10 and weigh 154 during fight time........i walk around at 168 but the guys at 168 are like 6'1-6'4........the height and reach advantage are just way too big to cope with.......thatz why everyone tries to reduce their weight to fight regular opponents if not weaker 1s!!!
Every fighter cuts weight At least 10pounds. An intense cut is more like 15 pounds and major extreme cuts can be anywhere from 20 to 50 pounds depending when you start. In amatuer wrestling 20 pound cuts are normal. But you need to monitor your weight and begin the cut at least two weeks out and don't take it for granted that you've always made weight
best shape of my life pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffttt.
What cumbia is it
Amazing
Right now rios and cotto are my favorite boxers I hope the young up and comer beats pacman so he can carry on with his career etc
2 minutes better than 24/7
@Dimitri0809 I like it because it tells a story, deep inside, everyone is a fighter, to survive and thrive in this world, you have to fight your way to reach your goals. I also like it because you have no team, it's just you versus the other guy, that's it.
@chisowenshotmail lol true,,, Do you guys think he's gonna be totally weight drained against Gamboa ? I heard he have a nutrionist now
Rios has that homer simpson defense
@HSVIRK Skill > Size.
Should be a decent fight.
Let's see what gamboa's got and how good'a' chin he's got.
Rios should go the welterweight.
there is an old ep of the simpsons where Homer decided to try his hand at boxing. But to cut to the chase Homer had almost no defense
RIOS VS MAIDANA
CAN BE A GREAT FIGHT
BRING ON THE SLUG FEST
John Murray fought like a 75% Brandon Rios and his face looked like he hit a truck with it.
I cant imagine rios getting knocked out not until i see it
TeamRIOS!
You saw it now
I would love to see Rios fight the Babybull that would be a war.
discipline...thats how
@bobbyomile21 he does elie seckbach said rios will make the weight easy
Can't wait for PAC vs Rios
They need to move him up , when he was talking to Kellerman and Lampley he looked gaunt and ill
rios is going to do to gamboa what he did to acosta.... and what demarco did to linares....
gamboa will outbox him early, but once rios starts cutting off the ring and catching up to him.... it's lights out....
gamboa won't be able to to run and outbox him for 12 rounds at 135.... his stamina will be affected by fighting at a higher weight for the first time... i mean gamboa's jumping up two weight classes.... and rios will be weighing up to 15lbs more than him on the night....
Brandon needed to go up to 140 Hellas ago .. He look like a small middleweight trying to make 135 .. Sometimes you have to listen to your body .. When a boxer that trains as hard as brandon rios trains can't make the lightweight limit of a hundred .. That just tells everyone that he needs to move up to 140 .. He could even be competitive against some guys at 147 welterweight division .. Brandon to me has always been a huge 135 pounder .. He needs to move up .. He cant make that weight anymore..
the money for the Gamboa fight keeps him there. But I don't see it happening, i think there are bigger fights at 140
Wanted to see it too but both are trained by robert garcia so we'll probably never see that happen
Rios vs Broner
Make it happen
That seems inhumane to be losing weight like that. Brandon is a solid fighter, but he isn't messing with Adrian Broner!
that's why no professional fighter should play with his weight like that...STAY in ONE weightclass but be the ruler of it rather than gaining and losing weight just to get you ass kicked in a weightclass that you don't feel comfortable in...
@S0S0BOXING Nah, Gamboa looks really filled out fighting at below 135!... only 5'6" Look at the size of him @ 127... Gamboa walks around at 141 MOST.
ima Fan of both rios and gamboa. but gamboa gonna win this fight.. he has skill and power , head movement. all that will fall into play on fightnight. gamboa is thr next big thing in boxing
Gamboa has a glass chin, and rios has the size and power to hurt Gamboa
If you followed boxing you would know he tried to fight Gamboa, but the REAL punk (Gamboa) never showed for the press conferences and claimed the fight was never signed and showed NO interest in making the fight happen.........
rios looked dead he looked like if he was about to colapse
@S0S0BOXING Remember he is going up 2 wieght classes
He should fight Marquez, it would be a good challenge for him
give him 2 years and we will see ha punchdrunk rio
I look like Rios at 135 lmfao
RIOS vs BRONER PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
eres un buen boxeador pero solo vas a ser una muesca mas en el record de gamboa.
@darielx333 lol I think so too.
i think he should fight in 130 :)
@kncheyneyu yea but he won the fight
Crazy. Rios has the size and wannabe power to be in the welterweight div. We had a guy like him back in High School. This kid would also beat up on smaller guys. I think Rios has home issues.
i don't think that will happen, they both have same trainers
Silva vs Jones
What??
Loooooooooool, he took off his undies to make weight
"Nobody beat me I lost the title on the scale" WRONG the entire 135 pound division beat him. Everyone who takes their weight serious beat him.
EASY WORK for Gamboa.
i guess everybody is going to start talking shit about brandon right?
How the hell is he meant to hit 135 for the Gamboa fight then?
No wonder Gamboa don't want this fight, Rios is too big for Gamboa.
eazzy fight for rios ko in 7th
@tryder1991 He said in a recent ELIE SEKBACH interview that he has found a new conditioning method to enable him to lose the weight better. I call BS. He is still gonna starve for 6 days and HOPE he can make it.
Fighting little guys. Sorry but that is WEAK
Gamboa deserves respect if he wins
It will be a 135 pound guy vs 155 pound guy come fight night.
Too bad Maidana's working with Robert Garcia now. So pissed that Rios is protected from him now!
he failed to make weight for that fight too lol
Gamboa !! 90% chance of victory !!
2:40
@upInCaLI1 He won't move up because he's scared... 7 years or so... @ 135... lol.
Damn, they stripped him of his title and made him pay?
Pacman is going to destroy rios dream on dude
@mtWHITE100 i will
look at what happened to guys like gerald mcclellan who fought well below their weight class and did starvation and draining methods to make weight!!!...brandon will most likely share the same fate if he continues doing this to his body.
Its painful seeing a fighter starve his arse off for 5 days to make weight
brandon needs to think abt his health!! draining the body like that then entering a fight is so fucking dangerous to the brain. you almost double your chances of a blood clot doing that shit. brandon needs to learn from mistakes of guys like gerald mccellan who used to fight well below their natural weight
your mean lol
@upInCaLI1 Khan would kick his ass.
he will get knocked the fuck out at 140 thats why they are afraid for him to move up.
rios wins by death to opponent
he does well at toe to toe fighting but in the fight against abril he looked nothing special at all in fact he lost,that decision was bent nobody could say he won that fight,in that fight also he failed to make weight,i'll be very surprised if his next fight isnt at 140,if he does ever fight marquez or any other skilled boxer he will lose.
hahahha talk big .box like kits
he looked like a skeleton that was scary
Gamboa all day bbe too much heart and skill rios will fall
He looked sick in that weigh in smh, he should just move up WTF is he doing in 135? He should beatAmir Khans ass or Lamont Peterson for their belts
