New video: Manny Pacquiao shows off hand speed, accuracy, and POWER for Rios.

How so?
Rios is'nt particularly fast.
He's not hightly skilled tacitically.
He gets hit "flush" way to frequently and the key word is "flush!"

Rios has heart, he hits hard, and he throws down. Pretty much made to order for a fighter like Pacquiao gifted with both hand and footspeed and has power on par if not close to what Rios has.

If I were to make a checklist of advantages for each fighter, Pacquiao pretty much has the advantage all the way around. Any advantage that Rios may have like possibly one shot power, is an advantage thats almost on par.

To boot, Rios is coming off a loss to Alvarado, so its not like Rios' confidence is riding sky high. Rios knows he can be outboxed, so if Pacquiao gets off to a good start, in the back of his mind he knows he's lost before to lesser fighters than Pacquiao.

 

Rios is tailormade for Pac and people in this forum, so called boxing experts/trolls know it fo sure

 

Dare I say everyone is potentially right.

While the boxers themselves dont resemble the comparative fighters, this does remind me of Tszyu v Hatton. Like Pac, Tszyu in theory had the skill and power to win, but not the motivation or in the end, the conditioning.

I ser this fight playing out similarly. Either Pac hurts him in the first six enough to stop Rios or make him wary ... or Rios eventually breaks down a tired, poorly conditioned Pac who runs out of gas in the last quarter of the fight and lets Rios get inside and against the ropes, causing enough damage for a corner stoppage.

My guess is still Pac wins ... but I think this is going to be a close fight.

 

Rios has been down once in his career mate, check your facts

 

will not be watching this fight tired of Arum ruining the sport. Hopefully Rios shatters Pacquiao's Glass Jaw.

 

By the way, Pac is STILL off balance and not showing any head movement. I predict that he is going the way of Roy Jones Junior. His physical gifts are diminishing, poor fundementals, will all lead to him getting KOed again and again and again until he retires.
