Is everyone in agreement that that right hand counter is "Marquez" style because it is, in terms of intelligent boxing design, FAR off.
That "counter" leaves him fully within Pacquiao's power base. If that "counter" doesn't land or doesn't land flush, Pacquiao can still counter with ANY weapon in his arsenal. And I mean ANY! The right hook will catch Brandon coming forward, the straight left will catch him pulling back, the left uppercut will catch him during (as he appears to be leaning over his front knee) and the left hook thrown after a forward step will catch Brandon as he's sliding off.
The GENIUS of Marquez's counter is that, even if he missed, Manny has to turn and reset his offense as Marquez uses his aggression and habit of leaning forward during his straight line attack against him.
They should be working on him slipping OUTSIDE Pacquiao's right as Manny steps in and, after Brandon gets a sense of timing/ comfort with the movement, add in how to properly throw that right hand.
I don't think that Pacquiao is going to change up the way he fights enough for that punch not to work at least one more time. The danger is that, if his timing is off on Manny's feints, he could run into a fight ending right hook.

& probably nonito & mikey garcia in sparring
anybody in nyc wna make a bet for real coin? message me, 3 figures only
lol........
Is Brandon planning to try to outbox Manny. Watching Rios move around the ring is like watching a baby deer learn how to walk. Robert Garcia should know that as soon as Brandon gets hit good, he's going to be in the trenches with Pac, then it'll be all down hill from there. Pac's gonna light him up with power & speed. Brandon is tailor made for an asswhoopin' in this one.
Rios is too slow, too predictable, has no defense nor technique. Rios is just tailor made for Pacquiao.
Sure, he can try to land a punch like that but it's almost impossible to do that, you need perfect timing to do it and Rios doesn't has that kind of ability.
Pacquiao should be able to overwhelm Rios with some fast combos and if he's not completely shot to pieces after his last fight with Marquez, then he should be able to easily KO Rios.
Manny getting Iced! Brandon looking fucking stronger then a motherfucker and quicker then ever.
Looked slow as fck and as open as a barn door to me , Rios gunna be eating uppercuts and straight lefts .
You can go to 5:30 or watch the entire video.
Thanks for posting this, its a wrap! Its over guys now my prediction is already set in stone. I said the same thing when I saw JMM training the same right hand, Rios will win now.
He knows what to do play possum like marquez and than bam catch pacman getting over aggressive. its over.
there is no way Pac wins now. you fools will swallow your tongues thinking Pac has a shot now, pac is basically glass joe now.
Robert Garcia has the right gameplan
Rios cannot execute it
See him going backwards and throwing the counter? LOL, bets Rios will be plodding forward after a couple rounds of Pac beating on him?
Marquez is an ATG counter puncher. One of the greatest in history.
Rios can't do this.
Gotta understand boxing man. Marquez knows how to fight Pacquiao...Rios doesn't.
If he lands it, it's a lucky punch... :lol1:...
Rios is going to be in the best shape possible; he will be the fastest and strongest he's ever been. Without getting technical, he's getting his ass whooped either way, this will just help him take it longer...
Slow as molasses, telegraphing, etc... Rios will get the Margarito treatment by Pac....and I dont like Pac!!!! He1l! I dont like either one!!! lol!!!
Pac by rape!
All Pacquiao has to do is stay upright for this fight. I seriously doubt Rios can get a KO. Even in the video his counter was a half step too slow. He seems sharp otherwise but not enough for Pacquiao. I say Pacquiao win but it'll be another fight where he takes way too many punches. I don't see Pacquiao fighting too much longer. If he does he'll go the way of Mosely, Morales, RJJ and other badly faded fighters trying to stay relevant.
I'm by no means a Brandon Rios fans, but I have never seen Rios practicing technique, that's a first for me.
He's got a S&C, he looks more motivated than usual, there are still 2 months left till they fight, I'm still picking PAC, but we might we counting Rios out too soon.
Plus, this has been the year of the upsets, I know you're gonna put money on Rios, I just know it.
Nahhhh, 2011 was the year for the upset
Conyers over De La Rosa
Gonzo over Hasegawa
Marquez over Concecion
Ortiz over Berto
Arce over WV2
Rubio crapping on Lemuix
Salido stealing Lopez's belt at home
Grady Brewer loling out Guerrero
and of course...the fish coming to life and murdering the sushi chef....
Ishida destroying Kirkland
Man, dude is so slow, he can practice all he wants to but if he isn't at least twice as fast as he was in that vid, he will get eaten alive no question.
