if pacquiao stops or ko's rios, they will say rios is done lol stupid so called boxing experts here in this forum
Its actually 2 stoppages in 7 fights, Cotto & De La Hoya. Pac has fought De La Hoya, Cotto, Clottey, Moseley, Bradley & Marquez x2 & to manage to get 2 stoppages against that opposition is actually some achievement in itself. One things for sure Rios gets beat by all 7 easily.
old pac, no doubt, ko's rios in less than 6... but the thing is, pac may have become gun shy as a result of the ko. pac was too reckless against jmm 4.
Rios is to easy to hit and he's not nearly as big as Margarito to take a prolonged beating from a fighter like Pacquiao who punches have speed and snap behind them. Rios is climbing the ring to win, that there will get him stopped.
Lol. This fight is ending in a KO. Rios's style is to take punches and give his but against Pacqiao thats a terrible approach. He is getting knocked out for sure.
is manny even taking this fight seriously? he currently has buboy as his S&C coach and that other (untrained) filipino guy as his trainer
Pacquiao's last two KOs have come against guys who were weight drained. That won't be the case in this fight. Rios is the naturally bigger guy and he's coming up in weight so I expect that his strength and stamina wont be an issue. Rios has a good chin and Pacquiao hasn't shown any one punch KO power lately. Given Rios' punching power, relative youth and aggressive style - I think ALL the ingredients for an upset are in place. We'll see...
I hope you are right, if Pac loses to Rios,the *******s might finally shut up and give up calling for him to fight Floyd?:hi:
He was reckless considering Roidquez had added 10% pure muscle to his frame. I mean, in 3 fights, Pac was ALWAYS the stronger and more muscular fighter of the 2. Then suddenly, Memo turns Roidquez into an incredible hulk.:huh I mean Roidquez arms were 18" at the weigh in. Pac shoulda looked to potshot his way to a decision and fought Roidquez as if he were fighting a HW.:think
Here we go with this **** again. Didn't Marquez pass all the tests administered by the NSAC? Hasn't this always been good enough for Pacquiao in the past? Why did Pacquiao walk away from random blood and urine testing in the first round of negotiations with Mayweather? Would you care to explain?
Marquez took PEDs. Only the naive and ignorant would believe that he hired a guy who has built his entire career helping pro athletes dope and hide it to be a "conditioning coach". Why did Marquez hide from random VADA testing? Bradley is going through it. Pacquiao is going through it. But the guy that the whole world is suspicious of, can't do it?
There is no chance Rios will hear final bell, will Pac KO him or referee wil stop it i dont know i know Rios is ****ed...he is perfect for Pac to look good.
