Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Embraces a War With Brandon Rios

i feel bad for rios because he will be there to be hit by those orbital bone crushing punches

This fight is only interesting if Rios can take Pacquiao's punches. If he can't the fight will be over in 4. If he can then Pacquiao by decision. He should be able to take whatever Rios has to offer. If he can't... well, he had a good career.

we'll see how much pac has left .......hopefully he isn't completely shot..

Honestly, I am going with Rios in this fight. I believe Rios will put enough pressure on Pac to make him doubt himself

I really don't like the fact that Freddie Roach ( Pacs lead trainer) is not coming in until one month before the fight. Its a bad move, considering that Pac just got his chin cracked. Honestly, most just assume it will be the same ole Pac. But we really don't know if Pac can take a punch, has his legs after basically a year long layoff, and if he will be gun shy. Too many variables against Pac. That's why I chose Rios

^^^^^^this..........alot of questions will be answered about pac on fight night....if pac loses to rios then he should seriously consider retiring..

Bottom line...If Pac has anything left...Rios is the one that can bring it out of him. Dude can give and receive, receive and give. PAc better bring his A game!

All jokes aside, Pac should dominate Rios. It really shouldn't be close. Just the wrong style for Bam Bam

But then again, we are having OST so I'm not to sure. But this is how it "should" go

Manny just got devastatingly KTFO! I dont care who you are...that does mess with a fighter mentally!
Rios can take a shot. And he takes them while giving them back. he can counter after getting nailed. That alone is dangerous for a fighter that just got timed into a flush shot. You dont have to be a better fighter to win a fight. You just have to have the better night. To think Rios isnt a threat is obtuse !

Rios is just soooo daaaamn slow. Pac will beat him to the punch everytime when they exchange. Rios really has now pop in his punch.

I agree with you on the slow part. You make a valid point. I gotta quote a live from forrest Gump about Rios....Instead of chocolate..."Rios is like a box of chocolates..you never know what youre gonna get!"

lol! Pacquiao, man. He's worried Rios might run.
