Comments Thread For: Brandon Rios: Pacquiao Still Lacking That Killer Instinct

[DadeCounty305]

Absolutely.

I've been advocating for years all sports should lighten up on peds. I know lol you think I'm crazy. I'm intrigued to see what all the human body is capable of. They know the dangers and risks of that sht. Fck it let em do it. We want entertainment!

Blood thirsty entertainment! When Anderson Silva broke his leg against Weidman, in my mind I thought the fight should have continued..

..sick I am.

Man you're a Manny hater. Have YOU ever played any sport? No pick up games and if so, what level did you play?

[DadeCounty305]

lol at all the haters posting videos of rios crying lmfao. That what happens when you make it to the peak level of what you do in life/career and you fail. Lots of you haters wont even reach the top level at your flipping burger jobs lmfao.

Everyone knows the killer instinct in Pacquaio doesnt exist anymore, everyone knows once that part of you is gone its very hard to get back.

Lmao! Look at your boy Rios output vs other opponents and look at his vs Manny. Rios was in turtle shell all night long. He did not fight to win, he was scared to open up. He said himself after the fight if he would've open up, he would've got ko'd. FACT!

hahah im watching it right now and he DOES not saying anything even close to that, see this is why im not a pacfan because of fans like you that hype him up even more and make **** up. if it wasnt for the pac-tards and their BS i would be a pacfan no doubt, same with GGG.

You don't like certain boxers because of their fans? That's pretty weak.
You're basically saying if you don't agree with every single fan of a particular athlete, boxer, etc. with an international fan base, you do not like that particular person.
Based on that logic, I'd say you should probably refrain from liking anyone who appears in public at any point in time and start becoming more acquainted with the voices in your head.

How come you have Zero 'rep power'? What does that mean?

it means a million band wagon ******s who dont know **** about boxing and are new age fan boys dont agree with me, thats what it means.

****sucker!

Exactly. People say Pac lost his killer instinct. But really guys stopped trying to beat him. They go into survival mode.

This is perfectly right on.

Punch power is greatly diminished when the opponent is moving backward. Algeri went down 6 times is impressive enough despite his running, height advantage and 0 loss record. If he only engaged pac or atleast stand his ground, he will be koed.

This.

He played NOT-TO-GET-KOed. That's not the name of the game. Had he fought as-is, as you have said, he would get KOed or TKOed. Many fighters have fought Pacquiao this way after the strings of havoc that Pacquiao have wreaked on every weight level and fighter he has encountered and didn't want to be in the highlight films of his retrospectively.

Algieri is a perfect example. I really think he is a much better fighter than what he has showed but that wasn't his "normal" fighting style. He was running about like a headless chicken but who can blame him?

Had he fought Pacquiao in a blend of staying in front of him and "running", he might have gotten more chances of hitting Pacquiao but it was inevitable that the gap between Pacquiao's prowess and his is that wide...he would have gotten mauled nevertheless.

With Brandon Rios, same thing...had he fought the same way he would have gotten mauled even worse. To be fair, Pacquiao was relatively cautious in this fight just right after his own mauling against Marquez. And so if there's a perfect alibi, it's really Pacquiao's psychological hurdle to overcome but even then Pacquiao have shown that he's got a big heart (and skills/prowess) to be in the ring again.

Brandon Rios' statement is a baffling one. He cried and in many of his post-interviews he even praised Pacquiao to the high-heavens. Even in many, many months later, I've seen his interviews with Elie Sechback and with the same sentiments. So this "lack of killer instinct" statement seemed like a contradictory or just flat out denials and hiccups of ego seeping after his domination with Alvarado.

pac doesn't have to go super saiyan on punching bags like rios.

[BOIEMACHO]

This is funny. Not only the Punching Bag Rios, who said that Pacquaio is losing his knockout power, but the Floydiots and Pacquiao haters as well. They forgot that Floyd last KO was only a Sucker Punch.
