Brandon Rios ready to move up, looks for Pacquiao ![]() CARSON, Calif. (AP) Brandon Rios tipped his blue Royals cap back on his head and beamed at the big cluster of fans waiting for him Saturday night. After traveling a perilous road from Garden City, Kan., to California, he had finally arrived at the forefront of the lightweight division. His next step is likely to take him up into boxing’s most competitive weight class along a path that leads to Manny Pacquiao. Rios (28-0-1, 21 KOs) battered Urbano Antillon with power and authority at Home Depot Center, finishing off the elite contender with two third-round knockdowns before the bout was stopped with 11 seconds left.

I want to fight everybody.” Read more: sports.yahoo.com/box/news |
