Comments Thread For: Rios on Pacquiao: I Will Shock The World, Shut Mouths!

[Hougigo]

For all the idiots saying Rios is a bum let me tell you : he is exciting, fights without any fear, is relentless and most importantly does not hug like Floyd and all those cowards wrongly called " slick " boxers.

Yea, he's all those things, but he's still a bum

The only surprise will be if Rios lasts more than 6 rounds.......I'll be shocked for sure. One thing I know is that if you thought Rios was messed up in the head prior to this bout, you haven't seen anything yet. This guy is being brought in to take a MASSIVE, MASSIVE beating....on one hand, it'll be a great action event, on the other hand, Rios may never fight again after this. I'm being serious too, Rios is gonna get hurt, really bad and permanently. People who thought Bradley had lingering damage from the Providnikov fight, tune in to this to see what it looks like to see a man get his brains beaten in....literally.

You said it, Math. I couldn't agree more. Brandon, even at this early stage in his career, probably shouldn't be fighting anymore. If he grows some sense, he'll take his payday from the Pac fight and retire from boxing. Of course, that's not likely to happen, and Rios will wind up destroying his health for the sake of being a "crowd pleaser."

If Rios beats Pac it doesn't mean Rios is great.

It just means Pac is done.

Gratz to Rios on landing the mega payday though!

and if pac wins it wont mean anything because rios has no bussiness fighting at 147

I think the truth is Pacman is somewhat shopworn. He's a prizefighter that has given a lot ot in the ring. He wants to give the fans what they pay to see. He has given us many great fights. He was looking good in the Marquez fight before the ko. I believe he still has some left in the tank on the offensve end. This is going to be a war and definitely wont make it 12 rounds. Rios definitely has a punchers chance. Pacman will engage and trade. I hope he gets the better end but it isn't guaranteed.
Rios is young and has a good chin.

^^^The most unbiased, non agressive, fair and sensible comment i have read in this article!

This fight is simple....if pac boxes he wins.....if pac fights its 50/50 rios is no bum but pac is not great no more so it levels the playing feild pac got k.oed in his last fight for brawling thats what rios does best....rios got outboxed in his loss so this fight aint too exciting to me i say pac learns from his misstake an boxes while rios does what he does an eats alot of punches but can always land a big punch if pac wins off the judges ill say hes done if rios wins by k.o ill give him alil more respect but not that much if pac k.oes rios ill say pac still has alil left very simple.

Ask Rios who he thinks the best fighter is today. Here's a hint he's wrongly called "slick".

after pac's last fight I do expect anything can happen so I am eagerly waiting for this fight...

[The Gambler1981]

I would be rather surprised if Rios won how can you really shock the world based on how Manny's last fight ended~

JMM shocked the world~ doing something that someone just did recently and memorably is hardly that shocking, surprising sure but shocking no way.
