WBA lightweight champion Brandon ?Bam Bam? Rios was a long time friend of WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz but that was all in the past since both had some flaws.
In this coming September 17 in Las Vegas, Otiz will be fighting the former pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. and will put his title on the line for the first time.
If this will be a title fight and you are up against a big dog you?ll surely get paid a lot. That is greatly expected if we are looking for a fight like this.
Rios commented regarding his former friend?s fight and this is what he has to say: ?He should be thanking Floyd for the opportunity that Floyd is giving him, the chance to make a big payday,? Rios continued. ?He should be thanking Floyd every f***ing day. If it wasn?t for Floyd he wouldn?t make a payday like this ever again. He should thank Floyd for this opportunity to prove himself.?
Rios also beleives that Ortiz may have a chance to be a Victor if he keeps on harrasing Mayweather in the ring.
?You know what? Maybe, because the way Floyd fights, he might give Floyd a couple of rounds. But when he starts coming forward and catching his ass, he?s going to run,? Rios stated.
Last July, Rios won against Urbano Antillon with a Technical knockout in the third round. He is rumored to fight Kevin Mitchell as an undercard on the Pacquiao-Marquez III or this coming December.
?Everybody that goes into that ring I respect. Boxing is a hard sport so I?m not overlooking him because maybe he had a bad day with Michael Katsidis, you never know. So, I will be ready for whatever he brings. I?m going to be ready for whatever. I?m just going to mentally and physically prepare myself for that,? said Rios.
