sucks for brandon, i think gracia really had him feeling like manny was on the way out. brandon really believe that, he truely believe it was his time and that manny was not the same. although pac has been declining i think gracia made brandon feel so sure about it.

also guys lets not forget brandon lost because of ariza. alex was the main reason why brandon would win and since he didnt then the blame should be put on ariza lol.

It is frustrating that this board will never change. There have always been boxing fans on here giving objective opinions but for every one there are two 'boxing fans' slating fighters because of their own individual biases.

The man was on the verge of tears. That is what it meant to him. He came up short but that is boxing. There are too many posters bench pressing keyboards.

This is boxing. Let's show some respect.

Gotta feel for the guy. Imagine boxing your entire life, having a bit of success and then when you step in with one of the greats, you get your ass beat and lose every round?

It's got to be a real eye opener for him, knowing that he is several levels below elite, and that can't feel good.

Surely the 3 mill he'll take home will help him feel a bit better though

brandon shouldnt feel so bad its not like he lost to a nobody, if anything he should gain a lot of experience and exposure thru all of this, give me 4mil and u guys can make fun and call me a loser i dont care.

I love fighters. Best athletes on the planet in my opinion. I respect the guys who willingly step between the rope knowing in could be the last time. Every time! I've been a fan of everyone from Sugar to Money. Even researched and watched video of past greats from a time when I wasn't born. Bert Sugar was a friend.
I have no bias. Everyone eventually gets beat. They ALL can be beat. Depends on circumstance.
Rios was chosen for a reason. Everyone knew that. He chose to believe his own hype job. He forgot how shady this sport really is at its core.
Those were the tears of a fool.
Garcia will get this kid hurt someday just like Margarito.

So basically you just admitted you'd sell your soul for money. You think Rios would rather take $4M and lose or beat Manny for free? No one ever doubted Bam Bam wanted to win the fight. You on the other hand just illustrated why you're a fan and not a fighter. Enjoy your meekness and please limit you procreation. We need less of you in the world.
That is all.

More power to ya, Brandon.

He's made it this far in the sport. Far enough to earn millions despite his style of fighting.

Even the bravest of men shed a tear in the moment of truth.

Strong chin, strong heart.

Now stop being a punching bag, goddammit.

Armchair my ass! I was a pro athlete for 10 years. Passion is understandable. Writing checks your ass can't cash then crying afterwards is not passion. That's stuff frauds do. Yak, yak, yak all in pre fight build up, letting Kellerman string you along and then get beat and want to say well he never hurt me. C'mon with that BS.
But keep defending Bam Bam's passion Frank. You sound like just as big of a loser as Rios. God I hate when people can't accept losing. A professional acts that same in defeat as he does in victory. But I wouldn't
expect Brandon to understand that.

I'm not defending anyone. You took Rios's fight talk personal, I didn't. He shook Pac's hand after the fight. That is the part missed by fans because they still keep that **** personal. Nobody fooled Rios or gassed Rios up to fight Pac. He wanted to test his skills against one of the best fighters in the world. You as a professional athlete should understand this. If you have competed in a professional sport for 10 years...was it boxing? If you did compete at a professional level, then you should understand Rios.

Rios had swollen eyes, but I never saw Pac hurt him one time in the fight. Rios came across ass in his post fight interview, but Max asked and made a ****** ass comment all at once which agitated Rios even more.
