    Honestly Rios is getting slaughtered in this fight. His only hope is to time Pacquiao's lunges with the left hook, and I don't think he's good enough. Kind of similar to how Garcia beat Khan: the other guy is much quicker so you have to anticipate where he'll be and swing while he's on the way there.

    Realistically, Rios has been outboxed AND hurt by Mike Alvarado, and I'm asking him to do something that Marquez took 4 fights to do, so this is a horrible mismatch.

    I think Rios has a good shot, but he's going to need better conditioning than he's shown in the past. Rios has boxing skills, but he always seems to be gassed and prefers fighting in the pocket. There he's pretty good, and his defense is way underrated, but I don't think Pacquiao is going to let him make his stand there. Pacquiao is going to dance around and fight coming in and out like he always does, and it's up to Rios to utilize some of his skills to negate that movement and put together some offense of his own.

    Puncher's chance, and a good puncher's chance due to the unknown with Pac's chin now - hope he lands flush and can KO him. I don't think he has the tools to win it on points

    That will leave his very own chin exposed and the canvas ready.

    If i was Rios , i would try to work on some head movement , and look for the bodyshots on Manny . Hold and tie manny up when i get close to him , hit him in the back of the head everynow and then , Make it dirty . But not dirty enough to the point where you about to get DQ .

    If I was Rios I'd avoid fighters like PAC .
    But I understand he will collect a substantial amount of money so I can't blame him.

    Roy Jones and Andre Ward both said that Rios is one of the best inside fighters they have ever seen.
