Manny Pacquiao vs. Brandon Rios Predictions & Info

[El Angel]

Pacquiao SHOULD win by TKO. Far more versatile, his footwork should really befuddle the cumbersome Rios. But if he feels residual affects, mentally or physically from the Marquez KO, Rios' pressure and non stop engine will bring them out.

I'm one of the 3 that said Pacquiao takes the decision because Rios is a tough ass punching bag that can't be taken from him. But if he gets turned asian then Pac could very well get the TKO.

Rios training this early already? I'm not surprised. Memo started Marquez very early too. Everybody knows steroids is not a magic potion that works instantly. It works better if given time to effect change in a body.

I hope VADA starts testing on both now.

Rios claims to be around 157 right now without having even started training yet. He says he will have zero struggles making 147.

I hope Pinoy Hatton doesn't skip his strength and conditioning(Ariza "shakes")again I don't want to see him sleeping face first so early in a fight again.

I'm cant stand Brandon Rios punk ass, but I'm riding with that mutha****a...

Been said he was going to put the nail in the Congressman's coffin, and I standby it. Iron chin, heart, Mexican pride, but most importantly...

That fool can box. He has a deep amateur pedigree and he's gonna ride on Pacquiao for all his Aztec Carnales.


Rios by late stoppage.

[Ringlife]

I think Pac will beat Rios by tko in this one but I hope Rios cracks him.

[JaYDeuce11]

I think a more embarassing loss for Pacquiao would be to quit on the stool ia De La Hoya or Freddie throeing in the towel via Barrera...lmao

You know i always wondered how Pacquiao would always take off fromboxing after fights with no conditioning and no thought or focus on boxing, then just hop right back into training 2months before a fight. guess it has finally caught up with him but we shall see in Novemember...

[Doctor_Tenma]

While Alvarado deserved it more, don't know how legit the injury is, Rios is the far more tougher opponent in my opinion. Stronger, more durable, better puncher, and not to be repetitive Rios will be a lot stronger at this weight. I'm not gonna make a prediction for this one, Pacquiao is coming off of a devastating knock out. Manny is strong mentally but I can only know where he's at until after this fight.

[Mr. Philadel]

Manny is gonna **** Rios up...no other way to put it!!!...only question is if Pac grants him clemency like he did Marg or if he just execute him like he did Hatton and Diaz
