Pacquiao looks focused, motivated and ready ...

[Hulk]

I think Rios is not that intelligent anyway, although in his interviews he has come across OK.

Really, bro??
He sounds like a lighter version of Toney to me.

No Rios has showed some class in this build up. He took no part in the Ariza vs. Roach debacle. Master is right.

However, Rios is a punk still and he's in for a beating. If Pacquaio is merciful then Rios may see a lopsided decision loss. If not.... KO.

You called it. Pac was merciful.
He shouldn't have been.

He wasn't merciful. he was cautious and interested in saving himself. Going for the kill almost got him killed vs Marquez. He didn't sit down on any punches tonight and he was real discreet in his movements. I don't suspect pac will ever KO anybody ever again.

I think that's a slight exaggeration to say he'll never stop anyone again.

I'd call it merciful and self preservation. I mean Pac spared Mosley, Margarito and Bradley before he ran into that counter from Marquez.

Good win for Pacquaio tonight, I really wanted him to stop Rios. That would have made more of a statement.
