    Pacquiao was making Rios miss by a mile

    Rios basically went into Clottey mode because he was scared of Pac's power

    The only time Rios threw punches was in the clinches

        Rios is a punching bag. Thats why he was picked to fight Pac.

        But give Pac credit. He deserved a tune up after so many great tough fights and coming off a ko loss.

        I wish he could have ko'd Rios but Rios looked like Clottey out there with that high guard lol.

            They picked Rios after being out-boxed by Alvarado for a reason, enough said!

                Rios was bamboozled, he couldn't cut off the ring because of Manny's superior foot movement and couldn't get off on the inside.

                I do think Manny is boxing smarter, not getting so careless. I'm hoping for a Bradley rematch or Mayweather otherwise, it's almost time to hang it up.

                    I feel like Rios wasn't even really trying. He was just 'there.' Just weird.

                        I would hope by now any idiot would figure out why Rios was chosen.

                                Many on another level even on the downside he fought smart and didn't get crazy, just what he needed to do. Rios did not fight as expected tho not that it did him much good.

                                    Rios is a good fighter and a champion just like Gatti, but he is at an entirely different level than the elite PAC.

                                    The reason Rios wasn't punching, he didn't want to eat punches. PAC was too good and too fast.

                                    I see pac's next fight against Bradley.

                                        I didn't see anything indicating that Pacquiao is getting old. Did you see how much he moved and how many punches he threw? Still wasn't gassed.

                                        Rios was putting his weight on Pacquiao too.
