After Thursday’s press conference at the McAllen Convention Center, I followed California native and Top Rank prospect Brandon “Bam Bam” Rios, ranked the #9 lightweight in the world, to a private workout at the Mission Boxing Gym.

Rios’s sole focus while in the “City of Palms” is to introduce his opponent, 12th ranked Jose Luis Teron of New York to a world of pain, courtesy of “La Colonia” Boxing Gym in California. Both Rios and Teron will battle it out for the vacant NABF title in the main event Saturday night in “Super Brawl Saturday Night” sponsored by Tecate and Top Rank Boxing and in association with Cavazos Boxing.
