Pac-Rios: Final predictions

This 12 round beating took years off Rios career.

 

He's bad.

 

Trinidad vs Rios would have been fun to watch.

 

Rios needs to take a year off after this beating.

 

if rios banged your wife it would be.

 

Daft?

I have no time to watch useless guys like Rios fight, Pacquiao was/is allegedly on the decline and you'd think the HBO hypejob could do a bit better than 120-108.

 

Rios should get down to 140 lbs. He has no business in WW anyway. I'm not saying Pac was too big for him, Pac was the smaller man tonight.

 

you're angry

you found the time to watch this fight and evidently you were expecting something different, judging by your petulance

 

They are making it about the trainers at this point. Roach and Garcia and what a dick Ariza is with his dooodahdah at Roach.

 

I agree.

 

How was Pac's power? I am reading some things saying he is not hitting as hard.

 

Yes I just said that.

 

Same as usual at 147. He missed a few knockout punches barely.

 

Lol Brandon does not like Max very much.

 

max really does a shitty job. hbo should just have roy and jim announce.

 

Yeah and it was daft of you to expect that

I just said that.

 

In a few years, Brandon's impression of Roach will be perfect...

 

PAC will never fight Floyd...he'd get killed

Rios was game but he will prolly be cooking turkey like a jive turkey by Thursday

 

Pac ain't the same fighter clearly. Him and Provodnolikov would be fun. Rematch with Bradley won't happen and Marquez won't fight him again.

This Top Rank Golden Boy thing is so gay.

 

MORE than a Handful of Fighters LOATHED Merchant as Well...Comes w/the Territory...

"ARE YOU CALLING ME A PUNCHING BAG BRO"

 

another shitty pacquiao fight, i blame rios for not bringing it. very disappointing.

 

Ooh ah Samaras!

 

He enjoys getting hit. He should have a long, enjoyable career.

 

It's funny, but going into the fight I wasn't expecting much. But after 2-3 rounds of Rios landing big body shots that apparently bothered Manny, I thought it might get interesting late.

So I was disappointed midway through the bout when Rios went into a defensive shell and stopped throwing rib roasters.

But, like you, it's always fun to watch a great fighter make adjustments on the fly and execute. I don't want every baseball game to involve one pitcher throwing a perfect game, but they are fun to watch when they happen.

 

Very similar fight to the Margarito one. I figured that might be the case, but that Rios would do a much better job getting on the inside and taking 3 to land one.

Instead it was a virtual carbon copy of the marge fight. Manny peppered him with shots up and down, turned his opponent and just repeated the process. Brandon couldn't do anything other than constantly give an irritating smile every time he got hit. (which was a whole lot)

I was hoping Rios turn it into an entertaining fight even in a losing effort. Instead it was just a boxing lesson.

 

PERFECT "Comeback" Fight for Pacquiao...

Had a LIVE (Though LIMITED) Opponent in Front of Him, Got Some ROUNDS In, Got CHIN CHECKED a Handful of Times...B+, A- Level Performance...

Moving Forward, there's a RE w/Bradley Out There, Provodnikov (Which REED Would AVOID, if he were Manny), Marquez Yet Again or Floyd...REED Found it Interesting that HBO Commentators Even ACKNOWLEDGED Floyd's Existence, which Tells REED there's an OUTSIDE Chance that Fight Could B Made...Though OBVIOUSLY On the Terms of Floyd & Showtime, @ this Junture...

Good to See Pac Back in the Swing...He's 1 of Our Sports Most IMPORTANT Figures...
