Brandon Rios and Alex Ariza workout getting ready to KO Manny [video]

[FeFist]

So what you are saying is that Brandon Rios is on the same level as Delvin Rodriguez?

Boy, you are an idiot!

He isn't saying Rodriguez is on the same level as Rios. If Pacquiao is a level higher than Cotto ( which he is) then Rios would have to be a level higher than Rodriguez for the difference in levels to remain the same throughout both sets of fights.

Simplifying things further.

8-3 ( Cotto v Rodriguez)
10-5. ( Pacquiao v Rios)

Rios with definition in his body? Never thought I'd see the day. Ariza has performed a miracle.

This fight will show how much Manny Pacquio wants it and still has left in the tank. Are four weeks enough with Roach to beat a prime, ripped and very very motivated Rios. I mean it was shoking to me to see Manny getting knocked out like that.

He also know a lot of inside things about Manny! Can work in Rios favor!

PAC-BOY doing his best Mayweather impression. Hyping up a B class opponent so when Pac brutally KO's this bum he can say it was a solid win.
I think its a good fight for Manny coming off two losses but Rios is ready made for Pac to look good against.
Pacquiao by Ricky Hatton style early KO.

Fuuuuckk

Ariza has Rios working out like a beast. This fight gets more interesting on a daily basis. Rios will be in the best shape of his life.

[LeG00N]

Rios is starting to look muscular.... definitely the best shape ive seen him in.

Hopefully there's still enough left of Rios after the fight for a run at 147.

[Bretty Poy32]

pac is the barrerra
rios is the pac

There is good reason to hype this fight up. Rios is a ****er. Likes to Bam. Can take a punch and can give a punch as well. Rios can knock you the *** out.
Manny coming off a KO loss fighting this dude is insane. I wanted to see this fight before the JMM 4 fight. Rios only loss was a shlt loss to Alverado who moved and moved and moved We call it RAN. Mike wanted no part of Rios after that first fight. hmmmmm

[Phil Ivey]

Margarito can take a better punch than Rios, and Pac hurt him. Pac is going to knock him out, Ariza or not. Or a decision if he slows down. But I may be underestimating the effect of the KO Pac suffered, who knows.

We've seen time and time again, you need good movement to beat Rios. Pac has that.
