http://www.thesweetscience.com/image...ster_032af.jpg

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

Fuck me ??? Seriously? You cannot even get a draft for a buck

We can do business for next fight... ill send you my bank details no problem...;)

On another note the Chinese fighter looks very puffy round the eyes already or is it just that hes chinese..?:-X

With respects to the Thai gentleman, only attempt saying that name if you want to risk a seizure!

Sorry he's Thai then..... RJJ just said "His eyes are nearly closed" ;D;D;D;D

Suprised the cunt can see at all ;D

Ref is aching to dock him a point here. Tough tough SOB

Zho or whatever his name is looks much better than his last hbo fight thus far at least

32 wow. Didn't realize that. Crew getting a lil carried away..2-21 is 2-21. He -should- look spectacular

This is the first time i've seen Z.S he is super hyper in there and I get why he is getting all the hype. He is putting on a show and clearly wants a k.o.

He has the hand speed and accuracy to end this one, needs quality over quantity pour on

Lederman yelling stop the fight...

its like an episode of Monkey this undercard ;D

Yes, they want him to do for boxing what Yao Ming did for the NBA in China.

Not win a title?

He's going to make a lot of money even of he's nowhere near world level. Here comes the 250 pound baby. Ring girls are the highlight of the night tonight so far.

No, just make a lot of money for Top Rank

He's grown some hair! He doesn't look like a baby anymore.

What has happened to our beloved Heavyweight Division??? I miss the 80s, 90s.

Hamers head looks like a soggy cantaloupe??? He dogged it with Glazkov...Ruiz needs to impress

Hamers round, both landed solid.

Ruiz reminds me of Georgie Garcia, out of Phoenix. They weigh the same but Ruiz is about 6 inches taller.

Ruiz is flirting with going into Sampson Po'uha ville if he keeps sleepwalking and only reacting here

Hammer's feet are all screwed up. It would be an accident if he ever hurt somebody with a punch.
