Two super tough and crowd pleasing lightweight champions. Pazienza was the second most exciting fighter of the mid-late 80's as only Tyson surpassed him in that respect, and the kid was as tough as nails. His first fight with Greg Haugen was a classic and one of the best of the entire decade, and he and Brandon would go head-to-head and toe-to-toe. Rios has been one of the top fighters in the sport for the past several years, and he would really bring it to Vinny under and over. Could the "Pazmanian Devil" survive his best pineapples and outlast him in what is to be a sure war of attrition? The outcome of this battle may be decided on who is the better catcher between the two as the victor would come back from getting stung himself to wear the other fella out. Paz could box as well and put on a clinic in the third Haugen fight and also had some good spots boxing the first fight with Roberto Duran when he got heavier. Who wins this epic battle?
