Max Kellerman is not qualified to have that job. He commentary is always ridiculous and biased. Rios, should not care what he thinks. As disrespectful as Merchant, was his commentary was 10x better than Max's idiotic logic on fights.
Lennox Lewis, Andre Ward, Roy Jones. Don't they all work for HBO as broadcasters, they would stomp his foul mouth little punk out. Yes, Pac turned you into a human punching bag.
max did answer the question... he said he doesn't trhink he's a punching bag he thinks he's determined... i don't get what the issue is
He did get his butt kicked, but he kept on coming and didn't quit. Most other boxers probably would have quit but Rios was in it until the end. Leave him alone.
Brandon fought a good fight.....he was just limited in what he could accomplish against someone as versatile as Manny.
Yeah seriously. Even Margarito was backing up against Manny. Brandon kept coming forward all 12 rounds.
He admitted that he quit trying to win. He said Pac was too quick , so he stopped throwing punches and worried about covering up or he would of got Ko'd.
Rios quit with out officially quitting. He went into defensive protection mode (he admitts that), which for him still is not good defense though.
Rios isn't a punching bag but he does employ a obscure defence technique in which you block with your head.
If Brandon is a punching bag yet Pac could not even daze him,what does that say about Pac's power? Rios was picking up a lot of shots,he was not connecting like he did Margo..
To be fair, Rios has a granite chin. I never thought Pac would knock him out but Pacs punches looked snappy and hard, so I think the power is still there
And people are still wondering why Rios didn't get KOed. Rios goal later in the bout is not to get KOed. He did a Clottey style but he's not good at it but he did try and he was successful not getting KOed.
