It sounds like nonsense to sell the fight, remember they were saying he was not training hard for the Margarito fight and even had some bad acting on 24/7 when Manny went to a political event during training which Roach was not happy about. Manny was devastating during the fight. He will be for this one.

Rios was shown up to be a useless fighter who has lost all of his big fights. There is no extra gear. This is crappy hype. Manny looks 40, it must be the wear and tear of politics.

I hope it's 100% Manny going into the ring with Rios. Which means I hope he's all the way back from the KTFO he suffered against JMM. He (Manny) also said the desire is still there, and that it's still his time. I hope he's right, 'cause I certainly don't want anything less than a 100% Manny to go in there, and risk losing against a punk like Rios.

Rios says he likes boxing better than sex.

He should blow his load when Pacquaio knocks him the fuck out.

This face off seemed to be far reaching, even corny. It wasn't tense and very interesting. Max Kellerman tries so hard to be the next great boxing journo.

HBO present the big match ups perfectly and deserve their acclaim but these kinds of match ups shouldn't lie to the viewer in presenting the fight as something else other than a tune up.

Kellermans presentation of Cotto - Rodriguez was a laugh as well.
