    Rios vs Pac was boring!

    My coworkers and I watched it at work(hd stream) and I noticed that after the 4th round half the guys were playing candy crush and forgot all about the fight.

    I got on the phone with my chick but I was still watching it, not gonna lie...it was boring.

    I'm glad Pacquiao got a win under his belt though, hope we can finally get the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight made!

    first 6-7 rounds was good. The last was a bit boring.

    I dunno maybe people were expecting an all action packed fight since its Pac vs Rios.

    At this stage Pac should stay fighting like this. More cautious and box more. I know he likes to please the crowd but that can cost you

      If I had only $60 left in my wallet I would sacrifice it for this fight than any chicken derby-like Mayweather fight.

        PAC fans kept shoving down our throats how even though it was a cherry "atleast it will be more exciting than Floyd" and rios didn't even try or give any excitement lol.

          Same could be said about Mayweather's fights (from casuals) imo. Casuals opinions don't count though man!

            Yeah it was a boring mismatch (with a shit undercard to boot), it became apparent that Rios had no chance of winning but Manny didn't have the killer instinct or KO power to take him out. This crap should have never been on PPV (glad I didn't spend a penny on it), but you had these idiots here claiming this would be can "all action fight between two warriors worth 70 bucks." LOL

              Yeah, you're right.

              But, this is not really Pacquiao's style of fighting. He only did this cause Bam Bam is freakin slow and has a crap defense. This was a good bounce back opponent though. I think Pac needed to get some rounds in after being out of the ring for almost a year...

              I hope he gets a better opponent for his next fight who will actually give him a challenge and gives us out money's worth.

                By Pacquiao's standard[The Destroyer who knock people out left and right], it was a boring fight. But, you have to give credit where credit is due, and he did put on a clinic against a fighter that everyone thought he'd beat with ease, and he got the job done and fought a smart fight.

                  Pacquiao put on a offensive and defensive masterpeice

                  If you found it boring than you don't know **** about boxing

                  The footwork, handspeed, combination punching, defense were all top notch

                  Pacquiao was throwing lead hooks to the body and going right thru Rios's guard and around it

                  Rios was scared I'll give you that but I called that when I saw him in the dressing room

                    When the only thing you can come up with is "Mayweather - Canelo or Mayweather - Guerrero " was even more boring then you know they know that the Pac-Rios fight wasn't as exciting as it was billed to be....so insert the name Mayweather and to them it saves the day again lol.
