Manny Pacquiao vs Brandon Rios Prediction and Discussion Master Thread

No, your feigning ******ity. the people who set ******** lines can't do the same.
Just admit its a blowout.

So then you are saying that the May ghost fight was a blowout too? Because I Remeber lots saying. It was a legit fight

[The Big Dunn]

Not really, if the money was going predominantly on Manny to win the line would move up and Rios would become a bigger underdog. If people started betting predominantly on Rios the line would shrink. The line staying at +450 suggests that the betting has been 50/50 for both guys since it reached that number. (Or if that was the set odds by Vegas from day one then The money bet is down the middle 50/50 for both guys.)

But like I said when a Mexican or Pinoy fight their fans bet with their hearts and it skews the line. IMO Manny should be a 8-1 favorite.

I should've posted that no movement means opinions havent changed and bettors still think its a blowout. your point about mexicans/pinoys does support this.

AT 8-1 you might have gotten alot of Brandon money.

if pacquiao's legs aren't hugely deteriorated he will win this fight.

if he's getting tagged badly enough to go down it's a bad sign, for his legs. expect him to lose a fight like that. rios is much bigger and harder hitting than marquez.

[SERVILEV]

The only incompetency i see is your prediction in general! im sure you'll realize this as the fight plays out.

As I have pointed out in this thread ghost was +425 at this point fight week. He was a 4-1 dog as well. Lots are saying same about this. Both are blowouts on paper.

If pacquiao isn't completely done he will stop Rios. Rios will get destroyed

[Beercules]

I don't think Rios is going to drop Pacquiao at all.

Rios will be stopped late though, Mannys in and out movement will prove too much for Rios to handle.

[Holywarrior]

If Rios drops Manny a few times and loses a war it will be up there with Moore/Durelle in terms of comebacks because Rios' finishing ability is pretty good

That said I expect Pac to beat him down.

[Spray_resistant]

This will be an entertaining onesided beatdown, Rios is a comeback opponent for a reason which is Pac generally does very well against this style of opponent.

[AP♠]

I like Rios but Pacquiao is fighting a guy who fades late rounds, lost to Richard ****in Abril, and is coming off a loss to a guy he had already beaten. It's a simple tune-up fight to bring goy joy to pa.ctards. That's how bad PAC has fallen off from the so called elite mountain. Just imagine if Mayweather fought Brandon effin Rios LLOL all hell around.
