Comments Thread For: Brandon Rios: Alvarado Stung Me More Than Pacquiao

wrong that's just how pac fights against people who turtle up just watch the clottey fight. you're reading too much into it

He was pushing his punches forward more than loading up, watch the fight again and u'll see what I mean. He used to didn't of this in the pass and I think it's because he's still cautious and playing it safe.

Rios is classless and terrible

Rios is so slow and average as a fighter and a lousy person uncouth and vulgar.Same as his trainer the inept Garcia the stuffed midget burrito who breeds hatred in his boxing camps.

He couldnt even get his words out in the interview. He stuttered more than Roach. He was followed the game plan of staying low. So he wouldnt get hit to the body as much as Margarito did. He did a Clottey impression but with more punches thrown.

Rioa is luck he got a shot. He's a 1 dimensional no defense no jab no footwork statue! He was outboxed by a brawler!

Pacquiao's hand and foot speed made Rios very reluctant to throw. I believe he was dazed a few times but was never in danger of being KO'd. One reason Alvarado may have stung Rios more was because he was forced to. Alvarado's foot movement isn't as good as Manny's so he was forced to exchange much more than Manny was and had to throw harder shots to keep Rios off of him. Also, Alvarado is a big guy. He and Rios were huge JWW. It was obvious very early that Pacquiao focused on speed for this fight rather than power. Rios seemed so hesitant throughout the fight because he was always out of position. He was in way over his head.

Well then he didn't do a Clottey impression at all did he?

[The Problem Child]

Then why were you so willing to open up and throw and exchange continuously with Alvarado yet with Manny you were dead scared of even throwing the jab after the 4th round? Come on, Rios.

[PiXelElite]

yes Rios... both beat you... if only you tried harder vs Pacquiao, Rios didn't apply that pressure he was applying to his previous opponents... tells me he felt Pac's power.

[The Fan]

So than you shouldv'e tried harder than Brandon!
