Is anyone really all that excited about Rios vs. Pacquiao....

[Rome-By-Ko]

I would have rather see Pac fight Alvarado can't lie,but I think it's a solid fight tho..Nothing major but it is a really good fight..Loads of questions about both,as well as story lines..Should be fun..

[Rome-By-Ko]

I'm more intrigued than excited

This is how I feel tbh..

I'm okay with the actual fight, don't like the fact that these guys have to fight at an usual hour at a very crucial point of their careers.

Its a mismatch, no doubt about that. Like mentioned rios is tailor made for pacquiao stylisticly in addition to not being on his level to begin with. How can it be a great fight when rios doesnt belong in the same ring as pacquioa and stands no chance of winning?

I get that it will be all action, making it worth watching even though to be fair all pacquiao fights are worth watching regardless of how soft the competition is. Its a decent fight but a great fight is one where both fighters operate at the highest skill level and have chance to win the fight, rios does neither.

Dont get me wrong, i dont blame pacquiao for taking this fight coming off such a brutal knockout loss. And while my previous points stand firm rios is a top 10 welterweight in my eyes coming up, which is good enough coming off such a tough loss. But lets see this for what it is, a dress rehearsal/exhibition for pacquiao before taking a challenging fight.

Rios does stand a chance, he can try to grind Pac down or outlast him. If Pac is gun shy a little off the KO, he's gonna have a nightmare against a guy like that that doesn't stop coming. That Marg fight was hard on Pac physically, and Rios will probably be same size fight night.

Just get out man =/

From a health standpoint, Manny probably shouldn't even be fighting. Instead he signs to fight with Brandon Rios, A young Mexican Bulldog.

Lots of guys have been knocked out no reason to fight a bag from a lower division , at least they could have got the guy that beat Rios or at least another WW , and to rub salt into the whole forum Rios is a 140 lb guy and they are knocking Floyd fighting Canelo at 152 , I see this as a prelim fight between losers set up to make one look good , Rios is being served on a plate .

Both are good fights. But Pac Rios is sure fire action, while the other one is not. Bradley best approach is using his legs a lot and not getting into many exchanges. JMM Bradley should be more competitive, but you never know
