Manny Pacquiao vs Brandon Rios Prediction and Discussion Master Thread

[Tyson86-88]

Root for Pacquiao. I think he will win.

I hope Pacquiao did not glass.

Pacquiao is going to destroy Rios... Brandon is a lamb being lead to slaughter at this point.

The services of Ariza is only going to help prolong the damage... Even with that, Pac is going to get his earliest stoppage since Hatton (meaning the KO/TKO will come before the 8th round). He's going to be at Pacquiao's mercy by the 4th round.

rooting for our guy all the way, but horrible feeling about this fight
really afraid Pac is shot and his chin could be completely gone
thinking Pac wins an exciting UD, but struggles badly doing it
Rios will be WAY more competitive than he is "supposed" to be
had this fight went down 3 yrs ago, it would be a joke
post piss drinker KO? it's a level playing field, which is tragic
been saying since it was signed it's Roy-G Johnson all over again
this just seems like it's too much of an "easy confidence builder"
Rios isn't elite, but after Pac-JMM 4, he doesn't even need to be
won't be surprised if Pac loses
just like Roy vs Glen, gonna shed nuthugger tears if that happens
and even if Pac wins, hardly proves he's "back"
hoping he gets a win and retires before something bad happens again

Wow, it doesn't sound like you're rooting for Manny all the way to me! Here's how it's done: Pacquiao is way too fast for Rios. Rios is a punching bag who hopes he can out-last and out-punch his opponents, but Manny's going to stomp a hole in his chest! Manny has a lot to prove after the Marquez loss, and he's going to show everyone that he hasn't lost a step. Freddie Roach said that Manny is more focused than he has seen him in a long time. He's stayed in the PI for this entire camp and has put all of his political obligations on hold for this fight. Manny is going to whip Rios' a$$! THAT's how you root for someone all the way! Take notes.

Why do people hate money?

Is Rios punch drunk? Cameraman: "Did you hear about Maidana's card? Maidana and Broner have a sick card." Rios: "They got a car?" Lol! Rios will have to beat Pacquiao before he even gets seriously considered for a fight with Mayweather. Too bad he's not getting past Pacquiao. And if he did, even he knows he can't touch Floyd. That fan hates Money Mayweather and his own $30k.

Anybody know the undercard for this fight?

Is Verdejo fighting?

He is, but it's on the untelevised portion. Lucky for us, Top Rank puts a stream up for those
