Better to be a punching bag or go out on your shield

That makes no sense. There has to be a level of defensive to your game in order to get that KO/TKO, or to hurt your man.

You want to watch 2 rock em sockem robots with no guard up, and just whack each other in the face?

I can watch that on WSHH.

what do you mean it makes no sense? it makes perfect sense...if im paying, i want to see someone go out on their shield...

if im watching a free fight, meh...they can be a punching bag if they want

What if you're fighting Manny? Don't you want to survive in order to get a chance to land that KO, or to maybe tire him out, and hurt him back? Going out on your shield just sounds like, "fuggit, I'm just gonna throw these blind hay makers, and hopefully I don't get KTFO."

It doesn't work like that. You need a level of caution when you're facing anyone PPV worthy in order to find success.

I didn't see Margarito with his hands down, and swinging for the fences. I saw a guy that was moving forward with a high guard and popping the jab in order to get inside on him.

Are you trying to say that Rios took no risks?

He took a risk signing the contract but at some point in training he decided going into a shell the entire fight was the safest option.

He didn't go into a shell the entire fight. He was trying to hurt Pacquiao all 12 rounds, while surviving the onslaughts that Pac was putting on him, so he could try and land something on him.

You do realize that Pac throwing his hands meant Rios had to keep his hands at home, in order to not get KTFO.

I didn't see Rios running away. I saw him continually chasing Pacquiao. It's not his fault Pacquiao never runs out of energy.

Even in your sig all you see is rios taking shots and then going into a shell. He was punked and never tried to be a warrior. He only wanted to hear the final bell.

Letting his limited hands go, and getting KTFO, isn't going for broke. That's called ******ity. He doesn't have 1 punch KO power, so he's limited in that he has to wear Pac out. Obviously Pac doesn't wear out like that, so what was he left to do?

Get KTFO, while not landing a single punch himself?

You gotta be kidding me. He wasn't facing Mike Alvarado. He was facing someone with blinding hand speed, that never stops punching.

There was absolutely nothing he could do when Manny was punching.
