Pacquio is a train wreck waiting to happen. He is already off the rails and his fight with Rios will be the final head on crash. He is so preoccupied with Politics right now that he does not have the drive, heart or determination to win. The hunger and passion has gone. On fight night Rios is going to walk him down. He is a strong young hungry fighter that can take huge punches and never gives up. Any time in the last 5 or 6 year he would of been perfect for Pacman. Now the reverse is true and he will walk through Pacman and knock him out around the 9th or 10th. Sadly politics is a vicious game in the Philippines and right now Pacquaio is being used as a pawn for his riches and popularity. He will get chewed up and spat out by the rich elite that control politics in the Phillipines. After he loses to Rio hi popularity will wane and his money will dry up and then he will be back on the street again. Mark my words, Pacquaio will lose to Rios and then end ip broke 5 years from now. I have worked with a great many Philipinos and speak to a lot of them in a regular basis and i always bring ip Pacquaio (i live and work in oil and gas in Asia including Philipines)...whenver you ask any philipino about Pacquioa you will NEVER hear them say what a great fighter he is or how much he has done for the Philipinnes...they will only ever say one thing (almost always with an almost contempt)...,"he is so rich"...i think it is indicative if what will happen when that money is gone. Its like Ali said "i got a message but i gotta keep on winning for people to listen" For the record i love Pacquioa and think he is one of the best figjters of this era.
Sorry man but faded or not,rios is in for a big world of hurt and will be put into lala land by Paquaio:!:
Rios Pacquiao Why are these names even bieng mentioned in the same sentence? Rios is going to get beat up so so SOOOOO badly. It's nice that Rios has got over the mental idea of stepping in the ring with Pac.. but after a few rounds **** will hit the fan and he will realise it's not going to be a fun night. The only weapon Rios has is his slow mid range overhand right... Maidana or a bigger Mikey Garcia would be a tougher fight for Pac.. lol. Crazy that they are trying to sell this as Pac's 'comeback fight' where he has to "overcome" the young Rios who has the potential to KO pac.. LMAO.
everyone is laughin at the idea but stranger things have happened ... we know that pacs punch resistance is not the as good as it once was... and we dont know how much that vicious KO effected him im putting money on an upset if the odds are good
Pacs punch resistance even up to the knockout was the same as always, he got KD'd by a punch he didn't see, JMM feinted to the body and shot it over to his head and it smacked pac on the temple. The knockout was the perfect storm, a d perfectly timed counter when pac was on nothing but air, he fell into one of the hardest punches. Pac got nailed by the same punch the round before i believe and he composed himself just fine, he didnt even see that one either but he didn't fall into it like the knockout. JMM is insane though and had a lot more pop in his punches then usual, I'm not making any steroid allegations because i have no idea.. I wouldnt be surprised if everyone at the elite level weere taking roids though. Pac makes easy work of rios who is slow, I think the extra weight slows rios down. Rios said in an interview he's faces fast in and out fighters before.. I thought it was funny, there is no way he fought a complete fighter like pac.
pac has been hit by the same punch that knocked him down many times before (once in the second fight which he was mid air for and all it did was shake his legs once they returned to the canvas) the knockout punch he has been hit with multiple times in there 4 fights marquez used it as his bread and butter against pacquiao because pac naturally falls into this double feint jab left hand down the pipe. im sure marquez being the crafty veteran he is managed to tag pacquiao multiple times with this shot and pac did not see them coming. for what its worth i think his resistance has taken a big hit
You do realize "philipinos" is actually spelt "Filipino" kinda funny considering you apparently work with them. As for your statement regarding the people only care about his wealth... I highly doubt a nation of 90+ million people shut down just so they can watch some "rich guy"
He could lose to Rios, it's a dangerous fight with the unknowns. Usually after a KO like that you serve up a guy opposite of Rios, weak puncher that lays back. It wouldn't be a shock for Pac to lose most of what he's got, happens to most boxers. But in most countries, you don't end up on the street if you go into politics. Prison maybe, it's up to you, politics can be very lucrative. But it's a much much safer bet than record producing, energy drinks, or urban merchandise line.
Rios is so dumb, he will walk straight into pac hands all night, pac will be too fast and slick for him, Rios face gets disfigured and his team throws in the towel. that is how i see this fight going down
Pacquiao is'nt losing to any fighter he can outbox. Rios is made to order. Just what the doctor prescribed. ******* chant after Pacquiao disposes of Rios will be, "this is what Pac can do when he takes it seriously and is focused! :nut
