    Funny shizzle. Rios is one of the last fighters I would ever have guessed to be nervous before a fight.

    Think the lead-up had a lot to do with it? Promotions, touring, interviews, etc.
    Maybe messed with his head. Made him feel inadequate or like "holy **** this is big time..."
    Maybe that's why he sucked more than usual.

    Big moment, fighting one of the greatest of all time. The moment doesn't hit you till you get there. He's human.

    That's the thing , Manny is the most cowardly looking fighter you will ever see .

    Yet when the bell rings , that cowardly lookin man becomes someone completely different and comes at you in a fury trying to decapitate you .

    Yes , same goes for Triple G .

    I absolutely love and enjoy when harmless looking people can surprise you and completely stomp your ass out with ease :deal

    Lemme tell you , Ive had the pleasure of witnessing this TIME AND TIME again in my life .

    The meanest looking person getting completely manhandled beaten to a pulp by someone who looks as intimidating as a squirrel .

    Ive seen it all :yep

    Its just puts a big smile on my face everytime I see it happen .

    Its like getting in the ring with your idol. When you watch his fights and look at his accomplishments then next thing you know your gona be fighting him. This is why floyd is so scared of him. Floyd was a big manny fan and you can see clips of floyd standing in the crowd excited as hell in some of pacs fights down when he was at the lower weights beating up the likes of barrera and morales.

    You may call that cowardly looking, but that is confidence. He doesn't need to make an angry face to get psyched up like most fighters. I don't think either is better or worse, like for ex. Tyson's angry fight face. We know after the fact, he admitted to being scared ****less while making angry faces, shrugs.
