    Think I might be in the minority here but I don't really like this fight.

    I heard the fruit juice is good in Macau.

    Manny Pacquiao will be back as if by magic. Pacquiao by stoppage in the 10th after a savage and brutal beating for Rios.

    official? :happy I like both fighters but Pac is my favorite. Great stylistic match up for him. He'll cut Rios to ribbons. Absolutely destroy him.

    Rios will get sparked early, crap fight. Rios just lost to Alvardo and now gets a shot at Pac, Arum taking the **** here.

    You count Bradley as a loss?

    Same outcome as the Pac v Margarito fight imo.
    Rois comes plodding in and gets busted up bad.
    Still is an entertaining fight and one i will enjoy!

    Lost his last fight to an elite fighter, Rios is not an elite fighter and he also lost his last fight and is just a tough brawler, who will get picked apart with ease by Pac on a scale of say, Mayweather-Gatti.

    Good fight.
    I wouldn't be surprised if Rios ends up being the heaviest guy he has faced if they make this at 147 lbs.

    Back to the old ways, mind, he has always been the same. F*cking lizard.

    I cant understand for the life of me why they haven't made that Bradley rematch for Macau. I mean the whole of Pacquiao's team said he got robbed, even Arum was pissed, even though he owns Bradley to. :lol:

    Why haven't they made that rematch? I don't get it, it gets Pacquiao straight back up there if he wins, and not only that, Bradley didnt hurt him at all and they are adamant Pacquiao won the fight, so why not?

    Why Rios? :huh

    The bloke just got destroyed by Marquez (well actually he didnt at least up until the final KD) but why Rios? Why? :bart

    Pac wanted Rios, he was offered both guys and Alvarado's manager is saying he won't fight again this year anyway due to injury.

    Arum gets too much undue ****. This is a good fight, as about as good as can be made atm.

    Rios/Pac and JMM/Bradley (not on the same card obviously). Brilliant.
