    There were numerous times within the bout that manny could have sealed the deal. Most notable was round 12 when manny visibly hurt rios and for whatever reason non-chalantly backed up, cant blame him for being extra cautious after what happened during his last fight...still a great win for manny though against margarito reloaded...the ref s*cked as well, allowing rios to hold and hit each and every single round...

    He lost it when he became a congressman.

    Remember when he let Magacheato see the final bell.

    I disagree. Rios is a hard puncher and he's dangerous. Pacquaio landed his best shots and Rios took them and smiled in return.

    Rios is a guy that's not going to get knocked out by a smaller guy like Pacquaio, if at all in his career, certainly not at this point.

    What more can you ask of Pac?! Pac boxed beautifully tonight. Rios was a middleweight tonight out weighing Pac by 9 lbs. Rios had a hard time hitting Pac. Those who claim Pac is finished because he did not knock Rios out tonight, but won every round, praise Void when Void rarely ever gets a knock out.............Void is void.........

    I couldn't see how people thought this fight would end in ko. Rios has an amazing chin. And I knew by the 7 round PAC wouldn't go for a ko after what happened last time. It would be like pissing away the hard work. Not lost his killer instinct but more like I learned my lesson from Marquez.

    It's the sort of game plan and performance that he needed coming off the KO loss.

    First of all, im neither a ***** or a ******* and secondly, i was just stating what i saw in the fight from a non-biased perspective. As the saying goes, we are all entitled to our own opinion...i do respect your views and acknowledge the fact that rios was way bigger than pac in the ring...none the less, we are in agreement that this was a great win for manny...

    What was so "great" about it? He beat a limited plodder who had never fought at the weight and was coming off a loss. Mediocre is what it was.

    i disagree. i think pacman tried his best to stop rios. he went to the head and body with blistering speed and POWER. you could her the pacman's combos landing off and on rios. boom boom boom....boom boom !!! then the straight left counters rios was walking into..Ssshh im sorry you just gone have to get it up to rios, the kid is as DURABLE as they come. dont always believe the myth or the hype, you CAN'T always knock them out ! even rios coming forward and getting hit like he was the kid is DURABLE. he can take it the head and the body, he was GAME just OUTCLASSED.

    Agreed. Every time Pacquiao stepped inside to the right and around Rios, Rios was open to Pacquiao's right straight after but he never threw it and just backed off instead. Definitely lacked the killer instinct he had during the Morales fights.

    :lol: Pacman was holding Rios and Rios did what good boxers do. He kept punching. Also, Manny did everything he could to stop Brandon and he couldn't.

    Could Floyd stop Rios or Margarito and Cotto?

    What has this got to do with anything? Mayweather would box all three fighters ears off. For that matter I would pick Floyd over Manny.

    thats cuddos to pacman not rios, you still don't get it. rios is just that DURABLE.
    anyone can be koed but when it comes to being able to take hard shots rios is up there with the best. he can take it to the head and body. you see the clean counter lefts he was hit with, rios is as durable as the come. the tin man is what i call him.
