:think:huh Your style is tailor made for him imo, but you have to show up on fight night and still give it your 110%. What would you do during the fight?
If I were Rios I'd pretend to get knocked out in the first round... Save my career and have a nice payday
Do what he always does. He has heart and he has a chin and decent power. He has a chance to win here.
You got to go right at Pacquiao's Chin now. Fighters often don't recover from getting Chin Checked like that. Rios needs to show Pacquiao no respect and go right at that Chin.
Knowing rios. He will go out guns blazing. Honestly this will be a very interesting fight. I mean anybody who get's KTFO the way pac did will not be the same. Rios chin is iron and he has good power. Pac will get hit and who knows how he will react.
How he usually fights - try and get inside as fast as possible and stay there. Sounds obvious but Pacquiao's technique and defense inside aren't great imo, Rios could do some damage there. It's hard to see him getting there often enough without getting lit up over and over again on the way in though. Too slow on his feet and not enough head movement.
Marquez knocked Pacquiao with such a basic boxing move, that I don't see why any of Pac's opponents from here on out wouldn't attempt it.
Try and land a big shot from round one. He doesnt have the intelligence of Marquez and his style is made for Manny.
