pac has no power at 147, i dont think he has ever ko'd anyone at this weight...more stupid "KO" predictions. pac has 1 stoppage win in the last 4 years and that was against Cotto...and that was in round 12 and a bad stoppage. this fight will go 12 rounds
Rios blocks punches with his face and if he brings his normal face first style I think he'll eventually get pulled out by his corner. Good chance it goes the distance tho.
What is the return on that, must be pretty short odds? If I was doing an accumilator I'd say Pac on points, Froch in rounds 7-9 and under 9.5 rounds in the Hernandez fight. 1 euro on that pays back nearly 50 I think. Might put a 5er on it.
I've had £50 on Pac inside 6 at 2/1 or 3.00 in decimal. Can't see anything else really, I think Pac will walk the extremely limited Rios on to something early.
He is limited but has an elite chin, its the biggest fight of his life so h should be well prepared and up for it, and Pac may be on the slide and hasn't KO'd anybody since 2009 (which was his only stoppage win at 145/147 in 12th round vs Cotto.) I'm not saying Pac won't get the KO here as Rios is tailored for him but I'm surprised the amount of people who can't see any other outcome.
I can see other outcomes, but I think Pac will be really up for this one after what happened against Marquez. I also think the price is good value. The decision is 11/4 which is nice as well, but I really think Pac wants to make a statement in this one and a decision against someone like Rios isn't going to do that, so my moneys on the stoppage. I've also had a little saver which is Froch by stoppage with Pac on decision, so if Froch stops Groves I'll be happy either way (unless its a late stoppage or Rios somehow gets the W, then I'm screwed).
Got a score on Groves and Pac to both win on points, 23/1 to return 460 Then i got quite a bit on a straight Groves win
Rios is there to be hit and Pac will be teeing off on him all night with hard, face mangling shots. I don't see the power of Rios being a factor... not on the same level of Marquez and he won't be able to time Manny with something that perfectly. It took Marquez 4 fights to land that shot. In other words, Rios can't KO him but Pac can for sure KO Rios. Think Hatton on this one. Or at least Margarito style permanent facial damage.
