Official highlights
Rios looks like he has been eating a lot of fried chicken, there was a bit of conditioning hanging over his belt line, That said and having had a lengthy layoff he has lost none of his skill. I particularly like the over the shoulder rights followed by the short left uppercuts. I believe Herrera made a mistake by attempting to match Rios on the inside; he should have attempted to control the fight from the outside. Enjoyable watching the differing styles and the ring control by Rios.
