Will Brandon Rios Knock Pacquiao Out?

[Nooblet]

up to this day we can only wonder how Pacquiao will be performing on his next fight. will he be in tip top shape and face his demons after getting knocked out cold by Marquez? it's all been written in history that once a fighter gets knocked out cold like that, a lot has been taken away from him. Pacquiao has been thru so many wars and here we got Rios who is young and determined to win. how will Pacquiao be mentally prepared for this one? is this the last we are going to see Pacquiao?

No. Pacquiao is going to stop him late. Manny still has the hand and foot speed to outclass Rios. I think Brandon will be strong at 147 but he's not skilled enough imo.

As far as Pac's chin is concerned, I'm not worried much. Rios is a good puncher but not great and he's also slow. Manny should see most of his punches coming and brace himself. Rios is in big trouble. Also, Pacquiao has always had a lot of confidence. I don't expect that to change. He will be mentally fit and focused.

i do understand that Pacquiao wins in every aspect regarding to skill, speed & power. but the main thing is how will he be mentally and if he gets hit which he will definitely get hit?

No, I think Pac is going to permanently damage Rios. I see Pac vs Marg all over again. Marg was bigger, stronger and in better shape than Rios is now and couldn't do anything against Pac.

Some say Pac isn't the same, but he sure looked good up until he got KO'd. I see Rios taking serious damage and I hope that Robert Garcia won't do with him what he did with Marg and that is let this go further than it needs to.

Rios is going to take a serious beating.

He's been knocked out before, he won't be scared of getting hit. If he's too shot to take the punches, that's different.

Pac doesn't have to be that good to destroy Rios. If he's even close to the guy we've seen the last couple years, Rios's career might be done after this.

That is one flat @ss booty. That chick makes Paris Hilton look like Alexis Breeze.

I think he will be fine mentally. Manny seems reinvigorated now. His chin isn't completely ruined after the JMM fight. He just got hit with a perfect counterpunch but he took others in the fight that were just as hard. People will find out that Manny's confidence wasn't affected by his last fight.

No way Jo-se, Pacquiao wins by KO.

[Bring It On]

Pac showed signs of decline in the Margarito-fight, and it has gotten worse since. Plus, no one knows how he has reacted to the KO.

If Pac is the same as before Marquez, I say he puts a beating on Brandon. But who knows.

I don't think that Manny Pacquiao's skills are as diminished as many people seem to believe. He just got overly reckless and careless against one of the best and purest counter punchers the boxing game has ever seen and paid for it.
