Was Rios blood drained?!!

littlemac12y ago

I notice Rios wasn't as explosive and relentless as he usually is. Considering that he was tested 4 plus times while Manny was only tested once, am begining to suspect that Rios could have possibly been blood drained by all the blood testing. Discuss,,,,,,

klitschko was poisoned against brewer Please try to stay on topic or risk being put on ignored. Last warning. Try to respect the integrity of this thread. This thread is dedicated to the support of the Pacfans who supported Manny into refusing to be blood drained by Floydie. Ever since Pacfans had been ridiculed by the hateful Floydie bumsniffers, am here to bring redemption to the noble pacfan's stance against blood draining testing, just look what happened to Rios.:bigeyes:

12y ago

Those twilight movies have a lot to answer for.

klitschko was poisoned against brewer

12y ago

LOL... it's funny how people throw these things out there without any factual information or anything. :bigeyes: Funny stuff though.

12y ago

Haha :rofl:

12y ago

Most ridiculous title to a thread ever :rofl: Blood drained, you have to give about a pint to notice real difference. Didn't you notice how weak Rios looked. I mean Rios had cuts yet no blood:bigeyes: Now I know why the Pacfans were supporting Manny into refusing to be blood drained.Pu$$ie Floyd tried to KO Manny at the needle.:nonono:

12y ago

is this thread for real?

Most ridiculous title to a thread ever :rofl::rofl::rofl: Blood drained, you have to give about a pint to notice real difference.

12y ago

Does anybody knows what was the weight of both fighters at the day of the fight?

12y ago

Yea that excuse was lame by Pac fans in those days lol, you look back now and just laugh. Every Pacfan argument has been a joke:rofl:

12y ago

Oh god, make it stop. "Blood-drained"?

12y ago

It appeared like Bam Bam's gloves were drained. Could'a sworn I saw a BanAid on each one of'em.

12y ago

Yea that excuse was lame by Pac fans in those days lol, you look back now and just laugh.

12y ago

Rios couldn't handle Pacs movement and in some parts looked gun shy. What a joke thread lol

12y ago

Or maybe he lost because he fought the second best fighter in the world? He fought Ward?

12y ago

Fucking fail.

12y ago

Wow I can't believe you have 3000+ posts on here and joined in 2006... but still clueless as they come. Just unbelievable.

12y ago

No... just wasn't in the same class as Pacquiao simple as that.

12y ago

Yes, Rios was blood drained and wasn't focused since Pac sent Roach to the gym and act like a lunatic. Sure Roach ended up getting stomped on, but Rios being the nice guy he is probably felt responsible for the whole incident.

12y ago

He was brain drained.
