Apart from nacho....
I think that the traditional come forward tough as nails take a lot of punishment Mexican trainers are limited at the highest level. They can get there man in tip top shape and get them to hit the heavy bag nice and hard but when it comes to the strategic doctrine and game plan side they are limited. In the donaire-rigo, PAC-margo, and now in the rios-PAC fights Robert garcias only instructions between rounds was "throw more punches" "start with the body then go to the head"
Can't see rios progressing as a fighter if he stays at that gym
Robert can only do so much with Rios.. honestly there is more to work with with Maidana and Garcia.
Rios is a plodding one trick pony.... once someone can negate his exchanging mentality and land unanswered, he gets lost.
Rios is limited to his inside boxing craft. He probably can't change to become greater boxer that can surpass his limit at this stage. He can only develop himself for what he is.
Really? Alvarado and abril went life and death with Rios. Manny won basically 12 rounds to 0 or 120-108 on the cards. And you're not impressed? Rios landed probably 2-3 punches in the entire fight. What about that doesn't impress you, retard?
What the **** were you watching? Arbil made easy work of rios, maybe gave rios 1 round
Also I'm not as impressed with manny as I am shocked at rios's one dimensional style. Alarm bells should have been ringing when Arbil and Alvarado box your head off. Rios should honestly look elsewhere Garcia has taken him as far as he's gonna go, there's still time for a real deep thinking philosophical experienced trainer to give him a fresh perspective and prolong his career. Especially when you've got a camp who will let a guy basically lose vision in his eye before pulling him out. What are friends for I guess

I suppose you can do better i bet you can't even throw a jab properly
what about joel diaz, roberto alcazar?
and mikey garcia and donaire arent face first brawlers.
somebody else said this already, but garcia is getting the best out of what rios has. he lacks any of the athletecism of a slick fighter.
at the end of the ****ing day, I'll take any action packed fight( mexican style as you call it) to any white black euro asian whatever the fck is out there...
Im all for skill but if you say lets watch bradley vs FMJ style fights or
barrera vs morales style fights, fck it im with the latter
Robert is American doe
But he speaks Spanish , his fighters walk in to Mexican music and he embraces his Mexican culture.....
Lmaoooooo
What a trip these clowns are. They want to have it both ways.
Mexican Trainers - go all out, brawl it out til someone drops and runs out of gasoline.
African American Trainers - most of the times go for defense and fighting smart.
White American Trainers - do a rocky like fight. a little bit of mexican style all out war but put a surprising defense at times.
European Trainers - jab your way to finish.
Asian Trainers - Do roadwork and conditioning fvck the skills and wait til a foreign trainer does the trick.
I've seen a good share of asian undercard fighters that had some crazy chins lately. The guy against Verdejo, the Pac-lookalike vs Gamboa, a couple others I can't remember, but they tend to lose convincingly while still taking punishment and attacking once-twice a round with heart lol.
garcia couldnt tell rios what to do about pac circling right (counterclockwise)to neutralize his offense all night. thats all pac did to get away from rios' punches.
or maybe thats a flaw roach saw in rios and capitalized on that
