Rios: Pacquiao’s Weaknesses Are His Chin, Aggression

•Aug 6, 2013

Brandon Rios believes that Manny Pacquiao’s one-punch knockout loss this past December to Juan Manuel Marquez clearly showed what Pacquiao’s weaknesses are. “Right now, I'd say it's his chin. Let's see if he can take a great shot now,” Rios said Monday during a chat hosted on ESPN.com. “Another one is him coming in too much.” Pacquiao delivered himself directly into the path of Marquez’s right hand. At a news conference on Tuesday, Pacquiao admitted that he had been too aggressive and too careless. That loss was the second of two consecutive defeats for Pacquiao in 2012, the other coming in the form of a controversial split decision against Timothy Bradley.

Australia’s award-winning promoter and TV and Radio boxing show host Peter Maniatis believes that the fight against Brandon “Bam Bam” Rios “will be a massive test” for Manny Pacquiao when they clash at the Cotai Arena at the Venetian Resort Hotel in Macau on November 24. Maniatis told BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard “ if the fight took place three years ago it people would have said its a mismatch and Manny is going to be charged with manslaughter but because Pacquiao got knocked out in devastating fashion in his last fight (against Juan Manuel Marquez last December 8) it leaves a bit of a question mark. When people get knocked out do they come back better or do they come back worse, so we don’t know.”
