PACQUIAO VS RIOS FIGHT CARD:

Manny Pacquiao (54-5-2; 38 KOs) vs. Brandon Rios (31-1-1; 22 KOs) - Welterweight (147 lbs)

Evgeny Gradovich (17-0; 8 KOs) vs. Billy Dib (36-2; 21 KOs) - Featherweight (126 lbs)

Andy Ruiz Jr. (20-0; 14 KOs) vs. Tor Hamer (21-2; 14 KOs) - Heavyweight

Zou Shiming (2-0; 0 KOs) vs. Juan Toscano (4-0; 1 KO) - Flyweight (112 lbs)

Felix Verdejo (8-0; 6 KOs) vs. Duanaaymukdahan Petchsamuthr (8-1; 1 KO) - Junior Lightweight (130 lbs)

Top card for me. PAC v Rios should be a good battle. Dib v Gradivich has good potential. Looking forward to seeing Ruiz Jr and Rex Tso too. Bit disappointed the penalosa brothers aren't on the card though.

Ive got to go out for by girlfriends birthday tonight (Noooooooooooooo!) does anyone know a place where i can stream a viewing as early as the next morning? Any help would be appreciated!

Rios looked relaxed and having a good time. Manny looked good and the warring camps seemed calm. I'm hoping the judging and refereeing is excellent!
We've all been waiting to see how Manny does after the KO, Rios wants to find out too, so it should be a good fight.

A big PPV, so everyone should be giving their best effort.

One great thing for Rios is he doesn't carry any sort of mental baggage off last fight or going into a "mega" bout like this. It's all the same, just a fight..lets bang it out. Same cannot be said at all for Manny at all. Manny was a guy with focus on 10 different things prior and if he does not have tunnel vision and clear approach tonight Rios could cave his world in. I think Rios goes all out very early but will be slowly ground down and stopped with body shots maybe in 8,9th.

Looking forward to Gradovich-Dib rematch! Evgeny is a pleasant surprise and a simple hard charger with high volume.Dib is just..ugh.

Anyone familiar with a link that would allow one to watch the fight on a kindle fire.

In the US it is supposed to start a 6 Pacific time, which is 5 minutes from now.

Yep, it is literally just starting. I have no idea if there are any undercard fights worth watching but I'm tuned in.

I broke down and shelled out the sixty bucks for this. Clearly sober :p
