Larios: Recipe for an Upset

Pac well be in shape and is going to seriously hurt Larios. Larios has never been hit by someone like Pac or seen the workrate combined with power punches. Larios has to ko Pac to have a chance, not going to happen. Pac wins by brutal ko in 6-7 rounds.

personaly im not as eager in debating for this fight. debate on MAB, JMM & EM are more reasonable IMO. WELL to give myself some excitement. I will give 1B each to the next 20 poster (PAC nuthuggers not included) IF LARIOS wins. be sure to quote me. @ACE kicker :D

So......It's "Blind" to root for Larios? I'd root for the fucking devil himself over Manny any time anywhere. yeah thats a nuthugging post right there :D same with you too :D

I'd root for the fucking devil himself over Manny any time anywhere. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

This fight is definitely not good news for the Larios fans who know much about the sport. Pacquiao will most likely KO him in less than 5 Rounds. 3 if Pac gets pissed off for whatever reason. You wanna know how much chance Larios has to win this fight? Think about this: It's like Pacquiao going up to junior welterweight and fighting Ricky Hatton. Larios will climb 2 weight classes past the ones he's been in for years, and will fight the best of the weightclass he'll be fightin by summer. It's a mismatch on paper, but this is boxing and Larios might just sneak in that lucky punch. It's very unlikely though. in that case pac has to finish him off by the 5th, i dont see manny going down by a lucky punch by that time. not with larios though.

we all know what's going to happen. They're both going to be lured into a brawl fight sooner or later. Pac will impress the Filipinos present and he'll do it by outslugging Larios and eventually knocking him out. If there's one thing Larios can do to give himself a better chance of winning, it's to neutralize Pac's straight lefts. Keep his left glove up in front of his face and duck as much as needed. If he doesn't move his head, 1 straight punch could end this fight as early as Round 1. been watching a few videos of Larios previous fights and the way I see it, Larios volume punching and Pac's agression the fight will surely be a BRAWL ... and I don't think Oscar can go 12 rounds brawling against PAC ... he will have a better chance if Larios elects to box and use his reach advantage to the fullest...

Hey guys good article I seen on local news in the Philippines ... Larios is a good recipe for an upset ... (Hunger, Desire, Dream, Discipline, workrate, stamina, size) maybe a long shot but not impossible ... mi amigos, sadik, friend, kaibigan, what you think ?? http://www.philstar.com/philstar/NEWS200605011602.htm Larios to earn biggest paycheck of career By Joaquin Henson The Philippine Star 05/01/2006 Oscar Larios will bankroll $450,000 in his fight against Manny Pacquiao at the Araneta Coliseum on July 2 and realizes a win will open the doors for bigger paychecks. During his recent visit to Manila, the former World Boxing Council (WBC) superbantamweight champion admitted it is the biggest purse of his career. Larios said he earned his previous high of $200,000 twice–against Japanese challenger Shigeru Nakazato in 2004 and Israel Vazquez last December. "Boxing is a business and my profession," said Larios. "It is what I do for a living. If I beat Pacquiao, I?m sure to earn a lot more in a rematch. It will also lead to a big money fight against (Marco Antonio) Barrera who has avoided me the last three years. Larios’ manager Rafael Mendoza said he backed out of a Pacquiao fight a few years ago because the Filipino’s then US promoter Murad Muhammad wouldn’t cut a fair deal. "He wanted all the money," said Mendoza. Larios, 29, said his motivation to beat Pacquiao is his dream of a comfortable life for his wife Gloria Arellano, now five months pregnant, and their four daughters Margarita, 9, Jareli, 7, Vanessa, 6 and Alejandra, 5. He owns two homes in Mexico and with the purse from the Pacquiao fight as seed money, plans to start a business from which to make a living when he retires. The oldest of five children and the only boy, Larios was born to poverty in Jalisco. His father Teodoro was a former Mexican state lightweight champion but never found world fame in the ring. Today, Teodoro, 52, makes a living as a construction worker. Larios finished elementary studies in Guadalajara and joined his father in construction sites to contribute to the family coffers instead of enrolling in high school. After an amateur career, he turned pro in 1994 and continued to do construction work until he captured the WBC 122-pound crown four years ago. Larios said the secret of his success as a fighter is clean living. "I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, I don’t womanize, I sleep early and I eat well," said Larios. "When I fight, I don’t get tired and I don’t stop punching. My advantage is I?m always in good condition, physically and mentally. Larios said he initially intended to retire at 30 but when the opportunity to fight Pacquiao came up, the timetable was extended to one or two years. Mendoza said retirement can wait since anyway, Larios hasn’t fought too often lately. Asked what he covets from Pacquiao, Larios replied ?his power, his speed, his fame and his money. While he has a lot of respect for Pacquiao, Larios said he’s confident of upsetting the so-called ?Mexican Killer? and isn’t intimidated by his hometown advantage. "I fought four fights in Japan and I won them all," said Larios. "I took the WBC title in the champion’s hometown. It doesn’t matter where I fight. When I enter the ring, I don’t think of anything except to beat my opponent. I don’t care whether the fight is in my hometown or my opponent’s. Mendoza pointed out that Larios hasn’t fought in Guadalajara since 1999, meaning he’s constantly traveling to fight on hostile soil. The experience will go a long way in fighting Pacquiao. Although he hasn’t weighed more than 127 pounds for a match, Larios said he’ll be comfortable fighting Pacquiao within the superfeatherweight limit. He estimated to weigh in at 128 or 129 pounds for the bout. "When he fought at 122, he was always on a diet," said Mendoza. "It made him weak. I think Larios is a natural featherweight like Pacquiao. Now, he doesn’t have to diet. The weight is perfect for him. What I don’t know is if Larios can take the punch of a superfeatherweight. Mendoza, 70, said in his 50 years in the fight game, he has not managed a fighter as disciplined as Larios. "I’ve managed 18 world champions including Daniel Zaragoza, Changa Carmona, Alexis Arguello, Chiquita Gonzalez, Miguel Canto, Pipino Cuevas, Gilberto Roman and Melchor Cob Castro and my model of discipline is Larios," said Mendoza. "No other world champion trained as hard and sacrificed as much. Mendoza paid tribute to late Filipino matchmaker and Hall of Famer Lope (Papa) Sarreal, Sr. as his mentor. "I co-managed my first world champion Ricardo Arredondo with Papa," said Mendoza. "I also dealt with another Filipino, Pol Tiglao, in arranging fights for Filipinos like Ding Cabanela and Socrates Batoto. We used to bring Filipinos to Mexico then sent them to Venezuela, Costa Rica and Panama to fight. One of my champions, Chiquita Gonzalez, lost his title to a Filipino, Rolando Pascua. Mendoza said Larios is like a rock because he is firm and strong. "When he fights, he is 1000 percent fit," said Mendoza. "He never quits. He’s not afraid of anyone. But he’s not the smartest fighter in the world. Sometimes, he loses his head and fights recklessly. Mendoza said he now manages only Larios, lightweight Javier Jauregui and superlightweight Arturo Marua. But he sources Mexican fighters for bouts anywhere in the world–including Europe through the Acaries brothers and Japan through Akihiko Honda. Despite his long association with Filipinos, Mendoza had never been in the Philippines until last week. He will be back with Larios and trainer Edison Reynoso six days before the appointment with Pacquiao. All I can say... Quinito "The DEAN" Henson is a GREAT Sports Analyst :D Boxing Scene should invite him

I agree with you bro. I also see the same outcome ... But Larios will be there not to loose and will bring all the recipe for an upset ... I see a good ACTIONED PACKED SHORT FIGHT! we all know what's going to happen. They're both going to be lured into a brawl fight sooner or later. Pac will impress the Filipinos present and he'll do it by outslugging Larios and eventually knocking him out. If there's one thing Larios can do to give himself a better chance of winning, it's to neutralize Pac's straight lefts. Keep his left glove up in front of his face and duck as much as needed.

yea, Im just emphasizing the support I possess fo Pacman who BTW will TKO Larios easy. :D I agree with you bro. I also see the same outcome ... But Larios will be there not to loose and will bring all the recipe for an upset ... I see a good ACTIONED PACKED SHORT FIGHT!

exactly. No need to poison Larios. It's lArios who should be thinking that cuz Manny will not run out of stamina fo the the 12th rounds (assuming it goes that far). there may be a lot of Pinoy pacman fanatics but I doubt if anyone would go that far ... for sure it won't go the distance ... if it does OSCAR is REALLY ONE TOUGH MOFO ...

I will bet up to 5 billion that pac beats larios. lol im kidding..of course pac will beat larios. :boxing:

Manny_P R.I.P July 2,2006 I will bet up to 5 billion that pac beats larios.

If Larios beats Pac, Ima jump off the Empire State building witout a parachute on. Manny_P R.I.P July 2,2006

lol Alot of you would, Manny's like the first and only Filipino celebrity isn't he? But yeah, because of that....I hope none of em on that island try to poison Larios before the fight to fuck with his fatigue or anything. They did that to Kobe Bryant a couple years ago when the Lakers came to Sacramento lol.. Oh come on now. I'll guarantee you that there will be no food poisoning, no rigged scale, no booing at him and his national anthem, and definitely no Corona or DosXX bottles will be thrown at him. They're not fighting in Mexico or Texas, you know. ;) He's already guaranteed his biggest paycheck in his carrer, $450,000. Not bad for a boxer who got TKO'ed in his last fight, huh.

if larios can beat manny in manila, he is a golden god. fighting a rabid puncher in front of his rabid fans in his home country. the things people do for money.

he he that is extreme bro.... I wont bet my life even on a 1% chance of loosing and although I think and I am sure PAC will beat Larios, there is more than 1% chance Oscar can beat PAC with the above mentioned recipe not to mention experience and conditioning ... yea, Im just emphasizing the support I possess fo Pacman who BTW will TKO Larios easy. :D
