Worst Face-Off: Paquiao-Rios

[1nonlymre]

This was so incredibly cringe-worthy. It did nothing to gain any type of excitement for the fight.
I mean, where do I start? First of all, most of the time, both guys talked to Max Kellerman instead of each other.

Secondly, Rios should have trash talked and did not...a lost opportunity, if you ask me.

Thirdly, religion has no place in a Face Off program...and that's that. It ruined the mood, and totally makes you wonder about Pacquiao's commitment to this fight.

Lastly, there seemed to be more tension between Kellerman and Rios than Pacquiao and Rios. Now that's sad!

All in all...this was easily the worst Face Off when it could have been on of the better ones.

Bottom line: opportunity lost.

I respectfully disagree. I understand what you are saying, especially as far as religion is concerned, but I was really feeling Manny's composure and focus. You could tell by his expressions that this is not his first rodeo and I take him at his word that he's still committed. Can't wait for this fight. Manny's speed will be too much. Pacquiao by stoppage.

Let me clarify myself some...it's not his composure I have a problem with, it's that instead of exhibiting some controlled aggression against Rios, Pacquio took a yoda like angle to the whole thing.

I'm a spiritual person and don't have a problem with religion at all, but I felt it ruined what could have, otherwise , have been one heck of a good face off, that's all.

Not being his first Rodeo, Pacquiao could have jumped on the opportunity to exhibit not only a renewed stronger will to win, but an assumption that his training is greater than Rios's and no matter what it will always be and will always result in a win.

Instead, I got the impression that Pacquiao believes that no matter how hard he tries, things are predetermined and what will happen will happen regardless.

It just underplayed the whole Face off, that's all.

Only part I liked was Manny saying "you want to be like me" The rest was boring and Pac seemed bored

Kellerman did a horrible job of being objective.

Rios seems out of his league and showed how low class he is. But that's not a surprise, this is the same guy that made fun of Roach for his Parkinson's.
