Adrien Broner interested in fighting Brandon Rios
November 30th, 2011
By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten newly crowned WBO super featherweight champion Adrien Broner (22-0, 18 KO’s) is reportedly interested in moving up in weight to face WBA World lightweight champion Brandon Rios (28-0-1, 21 KO’s) in the near future and feels he’s got what it takes to beat the 25-year-old Rios.
Broner easily beat Vicente Martin Rodriguez by a 3rd round TKO last Saturday night in a one-sided fight. Broner is now looking for bigger challenges and there is talk of him looking to unify all of the super featherweight titles before moving up in weight. That will likely prove impossible, however, because the problem is Broner is an avoided fighter due to his incredible talent.
Yes, Broner can try to get fights with the other super featherweight champions, but getting them to take the fight with him will prove nearly impossible. No one wants to fight him and get beat. He was hoping to fight former WBO super featherweight champion Ricky Burns, but he moved up in weight just when he was about to fight Broner. Did Burns have cold feet? You be the judge.
With none of the super featherweight champions wanting to fight him, I see Broner moving up in weight in early 2012 to try and get a fight with Rios and/or the other champions Miguel Vazquez, Juan Manuel Marquez, Robert Guerrero and Antonio DeMarco. I’d love to see Broner vs. Marquez. That would be a great fight and it would be like a rematch between Mayweather and Marquez. I can see Broner winning that fight just as Mayweather did. Broner has too much speed, defensive ability and excellent counter punching ability for someone like Marquez.

Hello eoyerbvdy, I know YouTube video contains fewer bytes of memory due to that its quality is awful, but this YouTube video has great picture features.
2 all u BOXING FANs Adrien Broner is a Breast n waitting, every Fight he gets BETTER. I have saw him n person at lease SIX time. He is a YOUNG MR MAYWEATHER with KO punch n both hands. with 2 more fights he will beat Mr Rios! 3 or 4 FIGHTs he will KO him b4 the 4th ROUND! He is SMART & FAST. MR RIOS dont wait Too LONG.
OAKTOWNs BIGJON
I think Broner would pick apart Rios, and eventually catch him with big shots. Also, Gamboa would get exposed by Broner as well.
Go ahead Boner do us the favor so that Brandon knocks you out and ends your hype
Broner would clearly out box Rios and time him perfectly with counter shots plus Broner can hurt you fighting backwards that’s the key to his victory.
Adrien Broner is a floyd mayweather wanna be,
want gamboa to fight 1 fight @ 130 then fight Broner…great matchup
Good fighter broner…I like his composure…needs 2 competative fights before rios though..
The prospect of Broner fighting Brandon Rios is very exciting. True boxing fans would love to see this fight happen. Both are up-and-coming fighters w/o key name victories to their respected resumes’. But i feel Rios has move of a fan base and following. His path is likely towards the top tier fighters of the 135lb division. Broner will likely need to continue his upward journey on HBO BAD. If his advisor Haymon intends to make him a sensation, he should have him fight more often then not to keep his momentum moving.
This fight has much interest.
now that is a fight. both can rumble.
broner won a fight against someone who had already lost 11 times, of course he knocked him out in round 3. broner got a gift decision against ponce de leon. he’s a mayweather copycat that would get knocked out cold against rios, i hope this fight does take place
Broner ISN’T ready for Rios!! Rios is too big for him and a full fledged lightweight, Rios would punish Broner. Broner needs to fight his way into the upper echelon of the 135lb division, not talk his way into it.
Broner will be one of the top pound for pound in a year.
HE may have the talent but still doesnt have the experience to do what mayweather did to marquez and i dnt think even mayweather could do that again at JMM weight
I really don’t think Rios wants this fight. Broner is a different beast altogether. With his fighting style, Rios won’t last long in the sport. Broner would definitely knock him out, the earlier the better for Rios.
fighting machine lol i shudnt laugh but funny comment!! broner wont fight rios no way! rios is moving upto light welter next so broner just saying that for the attention! he needs to fight gamboa if he thinks he is the best
Another joke, Rios or ganboa will handle this ape with joy and happiness!
broner is more talented then 98% of the fighters out there. If you dont give him his proper respect than you simply dont know the sport of boxing. SN: IF YOU ARE BEING COMPARED TO MAYWEATHER YOUR DOING SOMETHING RIGHT SO TO THE HATERS QUIT HATEN AND WATCH AN UPCOMING STAR OF BOXING DO HIS THING
Gamboa would murder broner !! Easy
Broner needs to fight Gamboa let’s see really if you good as you say yu are Floyd wanna be
Fight Gamboa ,Ramos , rondibeneux he is just dodging like Floyd did saying don’t wanna fight me lease yu is a Marc !!
Haha this Mayweather wannaber would get beaten down by Rios
this kid is gonna go far in the fight game, i like his skill set and just as importantly his confidence and mental state. im looking forward to seeing him fight again.
If this guy expects to do anything in boxing i would really re consider goin anywere near The Lion of L.A Brandon rios, Broner needs at least 3 or 4 fights more to get in the ring against a fighter of Rios Caliber.
