If Sanchez can't learn to punch with power he should just get out of boxing before he fights someone who can really hurt him.
Rios was a beast last night and relentlessly stayed after a very sharp punching smart boxing Acosta until he wore him down with body shots and finally got to him. The two battled throughout every round with an intensity DeMarco and Sanchez could only muster for 10 seconds at rounds' end. Acosta definitely deserves some kind of future in boxing but it looks like the future of boxing in the lightweight division may very well belong to Rios. As his promoter Bob Arum said after the fight, Rios has now earned a matchup with a big name in the division.
