Rios was the prohibitive favorite and you know that if you were listening to the telecast prior to the fight.
Being the favorite, and "nobody giving him a chance" are two entirely different things. Showtime be damned! There were MANY in the boxing media, and on forums who were picking Acosta. An example of nobody giving the guy a chance is Matthew Hatton on Saturday. And rightfully so. He's a bum, and the ginger is being handed an easy belt. Acosta is a world class fighter, and Bam Bam deserves credit for beating him, and HOW he beat him. I sense alot of unecessary Rios hate from several posters.
Yeah, I don't remember Rios being that much of a favorite. Without going on gambling sidtes, I found this from Graham Houston: http://www.fightwriter.com/miguel-acosta-vs-brandon-rios
After the way Garcia,Rios & Margarito made light of the wraps situation and made fun of roach's Parkinsons, it showed what scrum they are.
