Abril, Rios, Gesta and Herrera work out at Top Rank Gym in Las Vegas – Boxing News
Brandon Rios, who is scheduled to take on Richard Abril soon, was present at the Top Rank Gym in Las Vegas along with Abril, Mercito Gesta, Mauricio Herrera and Mike Alvarado. During the workout session, Rios and Abril spoke a bit about their upcoming contests
and shared their views.
Brand Rios, when asked about his last title fight, said, “I’m not letting this unknown coming in and ruining eight years of hard work I put into building my professional boxing career. I beat Miguel Acosta when he was in his prime unlike Abril who beat him
on his way down on short notice. I was disappointed when I lost the title because I lost the title to myself, on the scale and not to an opponent. It was my fault 100%."
He added that the moment he returned home after that fight he went straight to his gym to resume his training session. He also said that it was the best decision he had made.
He then said that he is a guy who just loves to fight and that is his job. He added that he had actually come back to 135 pounds to win to battle Gamboa and to win back his world lightweight title. He said that he desperately wanted his title back and that
he does not feel the same without the title belt around his waist. According to Rios, a title belt around his waist makes his existence worthwhile.
On the other hand, Richard Abril came up saying that this is a great opportunity for him to win the world title and that it is a great opportunity for Rios as well to win to a champion. He then said that Rios would be way more popular than he is now if he
loses to him.
He added that he would break Rios’ mouth during the fight because Rios has spoken a lot of stuff about him, which has made him angry. He then said that he wants Rios to make weight and that he wants Rios at his best so that Rios cannot make any excuses later
on.
