Wtf is Pac wearing??

[hhwff3000]

Rios is going to be 160lbs plus on fight night against Manny who will be about 150lbs. Rios is going to be even stronger and his chin will be sturdier. I still got Pac by late rounds KO because Rios's defense is too leaky (he's not superman afterall) but whoever thinks this fight won't be fun while is last is on something... This will be a fight that even if in defeat Rios's Name will grow way bigger with a spirited performance and get him more money fights. I predict Manny will struggle in this fight and even be hurt multiple times but triumph in the end to win a thrilling FOTY!

Rios is going to push Pacman to the limits. How much does he have left? Rios could end his career.

This is how you promote a mega fight. You don't even see this stuff in movies.

Rios is a big guy. Pacman is coming off not just a 'KO' loss, it was a brutal KO loss.

Pacman hasn't looked great for years man. I just don't see Pacman being the killer he once was anymore. Pacman is coming to the end of his career. He isn't resurrecting much. Rios will be a stern test.

rios last fight was 140. he's not a big guy.

if this was such a stern test Bob wouldn't have it as a comeback fight.

I can understand being happy to have Manny back fighting in the ring but at least be real about it.

Manny isn't slowing down, he's fighting opponents- shane, jmm, bradley-that can move. Manny, HOF'er that he is, struggles with movement and isn't the best at cutting off the ring. That said he was up on the cards against JMM when he made a tactical error and dropped his hands pressing for the KO and got caught with a punch he didn't see.

As long as he doesn't make any crucial mistakes he will destroy Rios.

Rios is a not only a big guy, he's bigger than Manny which is relevant. Rios Re-hydrated to 161lb against Alvarado in his last fight. That's crazy for a Junior Welter. You can only name a handful of relevant boxers out of thousands that go up 20lbs after the weigh in. This is a legit fight. This means Rios will be able to take a lot more punches to land his own because he will be much more durable.

its a comeback fight. legit is ok. but very few people think rios will or can win.
