Manny Pacquiao vs Brandon Rios Prediction and Discussion Master Thread

[Chaos]

Big News !! Pac looking dominant against a slow stationnary come forward fighter, who would have thought.

Lol, other being Mexican, that's mayweather's only criteria for picking opponents these days.

Rios felt Pacquiao's power regardless of what he or anyone else says. He didn't let his hands go. Pacquaio would stand infront of him, look to draw his lead, and Rios wouldn't pull the trigger. He'd only punch in spots. The ONLY reason a pressure fighter doesn't push forward like they usually do, or take risks like they usually do, is because they feel and respect the power of the opponent. Rios survived, Pacquaio didn't knock him out, but that's because Rios decided to forgo high volume punching and associated potential payoff's to maintain his defense.

Not everyone's as broke as your ass $70 ain't **** man

2 great great posts..
i gave rios only the 3rd
shoulda been a KD for pac in the 3rd
ref would never break up clinches, oh well
ref gave rios 4 warning for punching behind the head.. HUH! 4? FOUR? CUATRO?

Manny had him hurt a couple of times, but it's his comeback fight, he got knocked out for being too aggressive, give him a break for using his brains. Rios by the way weighed 159, over 10 pounds more than Pacquaio, he's never been dropped or stopped and he's known, much like Margarito, for his iron chin. If Rios would've thrown more he'd have been hurt more.

Rios has been knocked down before.

Rios has been knocked down before.

Ah, apologies for the mistake then.

My point was, this was the absolute best performance without a knockout you could ask for from Pacquaio. Some fighters really do just have chins of gold or fight so defensively going for a knockout is a pretty up-hill battle.

Manny literally never got caught once, it was a masterful performance (against ofc a lesser opponent).

I'd rather have this kind of Pac version cuz of his age rather than the seeking KO.

Poor Rios, rofl.

Lol that is almost identical. Freaky man

Was so happy when this was over. Pac is still as good as he was against Bradley, and that's plenty good enough to beat almost anyone.
