    YES.

    It will that left hook to the body or over hand right when Pacquiao drops his hands on the way in.


    If they Garcia/ Rios are smart they'd take a page out of marquez book i don't think Roach or Pac

    are smart enough to know this might happen so apply it in the fight. TOUGH fight once again

    Like many great champions Pac has pretty big technical mistakes that you can see outside of the ring but can not take advantage in the ring, unless you are also ATG fighter counter puncher like JMM, and we all know Rios doesnt have 10% skill of JMM or Erik Morales. In order to use that against PAc Rios would need to have counter punching ability timing and speed and he doesnt have none of that!

    Rios started out his career at the gym where I now train boxers. His father Manuel and I are friends and we once trained together. I am very familiar and aware of what Brandon can do. He is always going to be tough to deal with. I have never seen him this motivated.

    Rios has never topped over 158 for a fight as far as I can remember.
