Do you think Long flight and early time ruined Rios when he fought Pacquiao?

[GorgeousJorge]

Yes, travelling overseas is the only reason Rios lost to Pacquiao. It is also the same reason why Pacquiao is on a 10 fight losing streak because he has to travel from Asia.

I believe Hatton also said he would still be undefeated if his fights against Mayweather and Pacquiao were held in Europe instead of Las Vegas

dude thats my point he didn't show up, it was weird. I feel the time zone, the jet lag and the early morning fight time kinda made him sluggish and tired. Didn't they try to give him some illegal energy drinks and caffeine before the fight to keep him awake?

Rios is known as a super aggressive pressure fighter, but for that fight he didn't seem 100 percent he was sleepy it seemed and just doing the rounds.

man martinez looks huge compared to cotto

Do you guys think that the long flight to China from the USA and the time zone and having to fight early morning ruined Rios when he fought Pacman?

Rios should have won that fight against a slower washed up Pacman, but he seemed so sleepy like he wasn't awake in there. If Rios only did what I said he would have knocked Pacman out with a crisp flush punch, if Bradley rocked him imagine what Rios punch can do he wobbled the bigger taller Alvarado with a jab.

Pacquiao flys back and forth from china to America but he is adjusted to the long flights so he knows how to deal with it and when to fly over.

Rios I think was ruined by the long airplane ride and the fact that he was forced to fight at 8 am in the morning when he is used to fighting at 9 pm at night.

Anyone agree?

The fight was closer to noon and he had weeks to adjust to the time. I'm sure the man has sparred/trained during those hours before. This is a pathetic post.

you dont get much attention in real life huh

[MaskedMurderer]

To be fair, If Pacquaio fought Rios like he fought bradley he would have got KO'd truth is and Pacquaio even admitted that Rios was one of the hardest punchers he ever faced so he didnt want to risk getting knocked out so he changed the plan after the 2nd cause Rios was getting the better of him in the exchanges.

Rios fought the best he could against a scared pacquaio who would not engage in a toe to toe fight.

there is noone in the east that's gonna mess with your team...most of the west will probably beat each other up and the winner will limp into the finals


as a heat hater, i just hope Wade's hamstrings acts up the whole way

[Resilient]

Hectari trying to find excuses as to why Rios didn't KO Pacman with a stiff jab

Greg Monroe looked good last night against the Thunder almost had a triple double, although his lack of rim protection hurt us when Durant essentially drove to the hoop unopposed to dunk it to take the lead because Drummond had fouled out.
