She is ****ing terrifying! Has a more manly, scary face than Rios.

The one on Pac's right and his furthest left are smoking hot. The other one....meh....the blonde one though?

the blonde reminds me of the cowardly lion from wizard of oz. on the whole, top rank have stepped their game up.

I don't see the big deal about the KC hat. I mean the Royals are the closest professional team to where he grew up.
It's like people in Indiana liking the Cubs. That's the closest team to them so they root for them.

Marg and Oscar were clearly, undoubtedly ****ed. Oscar was the worst case of weight drained I've ever seen in all my years of watching boxing. His body was so ****ed he needed IV all the way up to the fight and he still couldn't even put any water weight on. That's brutal.

Cotto was fine. He might have struggled getting all the way down a tiny bit, but I don't think it had any adverse effect on his performance at all. Margarito and Oscar though? I really don't think you can try to justify those two whatsoever. That'd be like saying Rios was fine against Murray and because he said he felt great, he was. Clearly wasn't the case, though I'm sure you're taking the piss.

How did Marg's drain show? He obviously brought an iron chin and awesome stamina, kept coming and throwing all night.

To me, Brandon Rios looks dehydrated in those pics. I wouldn't be surprised if he rehydrates up to at least a 165 lbs or more on fight night.

Pac coming in at 145 is a good sign. Means he took this camp seriously and is going to use his speed and footwork to win this one.
He came in at 147 for Marquez last year and i thought it hurt him as JMM was lighter on his feet.
Rios looks like a guy that is still working to make weight. Sooner or later he is not going to be able to make 147 and his power will not translate as well to higher weights.
Pac KO in 4 rounds.

Its gonna be hell of a fight

Should be entertaining while it lasts!

I don't think Rios has the skills to play with PAC. PAC is getting older, never know, older PAC may show up and suddenly look like RJJ or SSM.
