Manny Pacquiao vs Brandon Rios Prediction and Discussion Master Thread

[JaguaresMx]

What? Did you start watching this sport yesterday? What makes him unique, if anything, is his unparalled counter punching effectiveness. And getting knocked down doesn't equal a weak chin. Getting put to sleep does. And there is no rivalry. There was a rivalry. It's over.

of course not! I am a huge JMM fan. I just meant to say that unlike Clottey, Margarito, Rios, and other huge guys who go on cover mode and think that "warrior" means taking punches, JMM actually is willing to risk getting KO'd in order to counter.

I wonder who was the loser that spent a dime on this lol

Disappointed in the fight, and that's really no fault of Manny. Rios fought scared, it was Clottey and Margarito all over again... he ruined the fight by lack of exchanges and a ****** game plan. If a fighter has an iron chin and uses a high guard... you're really never gonna knock em out unless they start throwing bombs...

Pacquaio looked great, and did as I thought, boxed beautifully and didn't make any ****** mistakes. If Rios didn't have his amazing chin he'd be knocked out brutally.

No fault of Manny's? He was supposed to take this lightweight, punching bag out in 4 according to Freddie Roach! Pacquiao should of been more aggressive when Rio had those ear muffs on!

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.

Anyone have the compubox stats?

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.
