I don't think Rios will win against Pac. Pacquiao has problems with those who don't engage toe to toe with him. Rios will engage Pac, and even though Rios has a chin. He lacks any real good defense that would help him against Pac shots. Pac is faster, has more power and has a chin. Even though he was put to sleep when we last seen him. Rios is the type of fighter that Pac excels against.
If Rios is working with Angel Heredia, I think he has a good shot. That guy (Heridia) can work miracles. I'm not kidding either. Rios also has youth on his side.
You must be pretty new to boxing :nut I dont know what's more unlikely, that Rios will KO Manny or that he will get a Mayweather shot
You may well be right about Pac. But PWill looked about the same to me. His chin seemed fine, Lara hit him with the kitchen sink and didn't drop him. And he was hardly gunshy, just was up against a better boxer
I see this fight going the same way as pac-Margarito I only hope garcia throws the ****ing towel this time
Hahahahaha Rios is massively over hyped! Shocking foot work! Poor speed! **** technical ability! Just decent chin! No way he beats Pac expect another Hatton display. Rios is out gunned in every department
Rios doesn't have the timing of Marquez. Rios is comfortable with fights who come forward and retreat in straight lines. As long as Pacquaio keeps spinning off to the side he'll have an easy time.
No ****ing way...Rios is too slow and Manny won't be stationary long enough for Rios to hit him. Furthermore, Rios is no more "technical" than Manny and won't be able to take advantage of any flaws, Manny destroys him, and it won't really be close.
Rios is a bum, Pac will see his punches from a mile away and he'ws wide open, not a good idea vs Pac. Pac KO2 vs a guy that is tailor made for him.
Pac has Arguably lost his last three fights, and was brutalized in his last right, I am going with Rios early war in the first four or five rounds but Pac suddenly realizes this guy is doing damage and gets a bit glove shy, Rios stops Pac late and retires him.
As i've said I like Rios and have always like him, but he's just too slow and I see no way he consistantly lands on Manny.
