Comments Thread For: Koncz: If Pacquiao Follows Plan, Rios Gets KO'd in Five

[NormC]

Manny Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38KOs) believes the best way to bring inspiration and hope to the victims of the devastating Typhoon Haiyan in his native Philippines is to win his comeback fight against Brandon Rios on November 23rd in Macau, China. Pacquiao returns from back to back defeats to Timothy Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez, and a near one year layoff after suffering the sixth round knockout to Marquez.

The TKO in this fight will happen in the 12th round only because Pac wants it too. He hasn't forgotten about Rios poking fun at the expense of Freddie Roach during the Pac\Marg 24\7...He said it before that he hasn't forgotten. I can't wait to see the beat down Rios is going to get and I hope his corner is as ****** as they were with Marg...Pac will pretty much end Rios' career like he did Margacheato...can't wait.

gunna reallyyyyy suck when pac gets koed againn

Rios is too slow to knock out Pacquiao. I am a little worried because Ariza is now working with Rios, but Pac is way too fast for him. No way is Manny going to just stand there for Rios to tee-off on like Alvarado did in their first fight. This will be Rios' worst fight ever.

Either way it ends, whomever wins its gonna be an all action fight both men warriors with their own strengths and i cant wait. Mexican-American here and i want to tell my Phillipine bros & sisters to stay strong out there. Much respect.

I could see a TKO, but late in the fight.
I'm interested to see how Pacquiao comes to the fight without Ariza in his corner.
Will he have the same amazing stamina he did when he had Ariza with him?

I also wanna see if Manny has a chin left. Rios is going to tag his face all nite long. And we all know Rios can take a punch.

Koncz needs to keep his opinions to himself.

I really hate the post-ali era of predictions. Ali was special and he personified predications but even he was not perfect in that way but it fit the times and the flamboyant character that Ali was. The only reason why anyone predicts rounds or when a fight will end in this era is pure media hype. Just concentrate on the win, for *** sake!

Gotta admit, Angel Garcia has been pretty damn accurate with his predictions

[Dr Rumack]

How would Koncz know? Doesn't he clean Manny's pool or something?

[Bermuda]

a lot of people really underestimating rios...rios is tough as hell with a strong punch and we have yet to see whether pac can still take a punch or will be gun shy.

This thread has visions of the same drivel that was spewing days before GGG fought Stevens. Yes, Rios is tough but not in Pac's World and Ariza is a non factor in this equation.
Bottom line : Pac is back with a vengeance and Rios falls. No frigging brainer.

Rios will swell up and bleed like crazy and he is going to look like a maniac coming forward, smiling and throwing desperately to try and get Pacquiao. It will be a sick fight in every sense of the word. I believe Pacquiao will win this war but it will be a very exciting fight for as long as it lasts. Bam Bam might land some flush bombs too which is going to be interesting to see.

I don't remember Rios swelling up and bleeding much in the second fight with Alvarado. In fact, I was amazed that his face didn't begin to show signs of being punched all night until the about the ninth or tenth round. That being said, speed kills, and Pacquiao will use every bit of his speed to make Rios look like a slug.
