Comments Thread For: Fortune: If Pacquiao is Fine From KO, He Will Destroy Rios

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

FORTUNE BELIEVES IF THE MARQUEZ KO DIDN’T AFFECT PACQUIAO HE WILL DESTROY RIOS/Ronnie Nathanielsz
“Fighter of the Decade” Manny Pacquiao’s former strength and conditioning coach Justin Fortune believes that if the stunning 6th round knockout suffered by Pacquiao at the hands of Mexico’s Juan Manuel Marquez last December 8 hasn’t affected him, his fight against former world champion Brandon “Bam Bam” Rios should be easy.

Fortune told the Manila Standard “If the knockout didn’t affect Manny, he will destroy Rios.” However, Fortune who runs his own gym in Los Angeles after a split with Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach said “I really don’t know” whether the knockout affected Pacquiao or not.

He said Rios “will come right on top of Manny and if Manny doesn’t have room to punch he’ll have a problem.”

Fortune also claimed that Rios “is a dirty fighter who uses his elbows” and other unfair tactics in a fight and Pacquiao will have to watch out for this.

The trainer of Rios, Robert Garcia told us before our conversation with Fortune that Rios was “in the middle of training” in the Oxnard Gym when we contacted him.

Garcia said even though there are some three months to go before the November 24 showdown in Macau, Rios “is training very hard.” [Click Here To Read More]

So Manny will destroy a B grade face first bum coming of loses to B graders , well KOing Rios must be real hard to figure out LOL .

Roach " Rios is 135 that had a couple at 140 , at 147 he wont handle Mannys speed and power , we chose Rios to make Manny look good "

Go Manny you good thing and stop that cherry pick Rios LOL

Rios is training very hard with 3 mths to go , that's great a burned out face first B grade bum .

Well rios has no movement plus there is a tremendous drop off in skill

Why are we hearing so much from this PED cheat Justin Fortune as of late?

that's a big if
Pac being able to still take punches is 1 thing
he needs the legs and the stamina to hang for the long haul
Rios is gonna swarm him, and his name alone won't save him
an in form Pac does wreck Rios, but Pac's been sliding for 3 yrs now

You should know what happens to B graders with little defense that swarm elite fighters that can box or slug , the class difference in this fight is very wide , Manny can box his ears of like he did Diaz or just bomb him out in a firefight .

Its all a Manny showcase .

Rios, Bring Both Elbows; To Use Them, You Get Close Enough To Get KO'd By Pacquiao!

Whatever.... bring a hammer too. Rios has beaten nobody. Pacquiao is fine. Future is trying to get his old job back working for Freddie and Pac, but that aint' gonna happen, and it doesn't matter. Pacquiao will make Rios look like Ricky Hatton... this won't take long, and Manny is a great finisher. This fight won't last long so wait for it on HBO for free. Manny train wrecks Rios in less than 5 rounds.
