    Rios have never fought a puncher like Pacquaio before.

    Are people joking who are picking Rios? WTF He just got his ass kicked by alvarado. This is a mismatch. Pac got sparked so what? Even a 30 percent pac ruins Rios man! He will lace him with combos and ruin his career. This is vargas-tito 2

    Rios can be really entertaining but I wouldn't call him a great quality opponent. There's potential for a fun fight here but he's a one-dimensional brawler coming off a loss to not-so-great Alvarado.

    Are you saying that the Pacquiao of today only fights for the money?

    So according to the poll, this fight is a one-sided fight.. :think

    He's fighting for money and bc his country likes seeing him fight. What else could he be fighting for? What else can he do that he hasn't already done. He's a 10-time / 8 division champ so what's another belt mean for him? Brandon Rios is just another name . I suspect he'd like to avenge the Marquez loss, or take on Floyd - and that's really all that could motivate him at this point.

    I think the ref steps in when Rios is taking to many punches.

    Pacquiao TKO

    The result is a given. Hope fantards will not act as if Pacquiao is king of boxing again after this predictable fight.

    I think people don't realize right before the knockout, even with the knockout, pac looked the best he has since he fought Cotto in my opinion. He had that fire in him. If rios can take those shots, in my opinion its if he just gets lucky and catches pac

    I personally discredit Bam Bam as a boxer becuz he ****ing sucks... He's a punching bag with a great chin and decent power that has only had success against other punching bags with weaker chins and less power

    Oppose to the growing majority of trainers that always admit when their fighter is outmatched?

    I agree he deserves a tune-up, but lets not pretend Manny this is anything more than a tune-up... Its a confidence builder, its an easy win, and it will be a marvelous display of Pac's abilities against the perfect opponent

    It will not be a back and forth war

    To be honest I just don't see manny stopping Rios , Rios got that Mexican heart , chin and will to win . I see this fight going all 12, the only way I see PAC stopping Rios is on cuts . But I doubt that will happen . My prediction is Manny 117/111 . BTW at least Rios has a chance to pull off an upset and KO/TKO PAC with his aggressive , relentless power punching style . Unlike a certain someone who recently who got into the ring with a featherfisted c level fighter who he knew had NO CHANCE of beating him
