    Going for Brandon, but I think Manny may be a felon once this one is over.

      Rios isn't in the same league boxing skills wise, but he doesn't have to be due to his physicality, chin and personality (which shows that he loves the big stage).

      Pac wins but Rios is going to make this a tough fight. No way he gets blown out of there.

          So if Manny knocks out Rios, what attributes to it? Manny's speed/power or is Rios' chin just not all its made out to be? (We've seen him rocked vs Alvarado)

          Rios' chin should be at its strongest its been at 147. The thing is, many don't know Rios has already suffered a knockdown is his career.
          imho probably both, I am thinking if Pac still has it this fight will go same way as the fight against margarito and I do not think Rios chin is = to Margs...

            Rios is loving this. Hes having fun. One thing for sure is...he will show up to fight his heart out. He does have plenty of heart. I think Mannys movement and hand speed will take Brandon out. He will take to many power shots over rounds.

              Rios said in his interview with Max Kellerman that he had to drink 2 gallons of water the day before the weigh-in.

              How and why does he do that? Do a lot of Boxers do it?

                I just saw the press conference where Roach waws accused of using racial epitaphs. Freddie is guilty as charged. But...it was said in the heat of the moment. Should it have been said in the heat of the moment? No, but Roach has never sounded like a bigot before so we'll chalk this up as fight talk, lmao.
