However, despite Pacquiao's recent dip, Garcia is adamant his fighter has fully prepared for the Filipino who dominated world boxing and established himself as the pound-for-pound king.
"We're training for the Pacquiao that has done everything," Garcia told R*NGTV.com "The Pacquiao that is so fast, and so powerful, and who has knocked everybody out. We're preparing for the Pacquiao that's scary.
"We don't like to publicise what's going on in training, but I'm so impressed. Brandon's been knocking our sparring partners out. He's doing a good job, looking so strong and so fast, and we've still got six weeks before the fight.
"Brandon's going to fight at welterweight, so he doesn't have to kill himself to make weight. He's strong and he's walking around 10, 12 pounds over the weight. But at six weeks before the fight that's no problem. Brandon's going to be faster.
"I don't see the same Pacquiao of five years ago. I know that a lot of people will agree with me, but we still need to prepare for that scary Pacquiao."
i don't think this fight is goign to be nearly as one sided s people believe.
it sounds silly, because people onyl look at weight classes, but pacquiao is smaller than rios. he's coming off of a knockout loss; a real one. he was unconscious for a long time. his chin let him down in the marquez fight before he was knocked out. how does he react now that he's been put to sleep again in his mid 30's? he's at the end of a career where he's taken punches in victory and defeat.
i'm still shading pacquiao because of his footwork and ability to use the ring to generate offense and defense, but it's not going to be the one sided drubbing everybody expects. i'm expecting an exciting fight, with rios walking through a lot of stuff to give manny problems and get him on the ropes at some point.
pacquiao decision.
Its because most people dont study fights, Anyone with a boxing brain can tell you this is going to be a hard fight for Pacman. Just watch the Margarito fight Pacman had to constantly turn Margarito and throw bombs on him to keep him temporary off him. It was no easy victory, and Margo is slower than Rios.
If Pacman beats Rios impressively and withstands Rios barrage I will be shocked. People are acting like I am hating on Manny but I am not, I just don't think his chin or even his body will hold up to a hard hitter like Rios.
Anyone else think warriors and PAC boy is the same poster lol. Just thinking out loud gone off that kush lol.
Probably.... dude pops out o nowhere to hype up Rios

rios has suprised me with how fast he is on his feet now, he has built alot of lower body strenght, now he just has to remember to use it on fight night

yes we are. I'm also reloaded when i don't take my medication and money team period is a dual account i have with leanord elerbe.
Whenever I hear of a fighter knocking out sparring partners it's always the first sign of a losing boxer. If that was true, wouldn't the trainer want to keep that close hold so you could possibly have that as an element of surprise in the actual fight. In other words, if Pacquiao and Roach admittedly picked Rios so he could look good against him, if they know he's knocking out sparring partners, you would think they would now want to take a more cautious approach to the fight. We've heard this before, and I hope for Rios' sake he is knocking out sparring partners, because if your attitude is knocking out sparring partners equals knocking out Manny Pacquiao then those will be last KO's you have in awhile.
and Floyd got schooled by Castillo, DLH and Cotto...your point poop eater?
that rios is not a threat and would be easy work for any top 10 147
do you know what schooled means? this has nothing to do with floyd btw
anyone who dont take this dude serious is bat shlt crazy.
youre just trying to hype him up to make pac look better lol, he already got schooled by abril
