Manny Pacquiao vs Brandon Rios on Nov 24 in Macau China

[Beanflicker]

I think it's a solid match. I don't give Rios much of a chance though.

I think we're going to see a more conservative Manny, and if he wants to I think he can pot-shot Rios all night.

You can't take the fighter out of someone like Manny...once the bell rings against a volatile guy like Rios...I highly doubt Pac is all of a sudden going to fight a conservative gameplan. Even though Manny should on paper beat Rios with relative ease...Pac has been on the slide for some time and he is coming of a vicious KO. It will be interesting.

This is a ballsy move, but I suppose Rios is a 1 gear fighter so Manny won't have to watch out for tricky counter punches. I would be shocked if Manny wins via stoppage

Pac V Margarito all over again

The winner of this meets the winner of Marquez/Bradley. Marquez is going to school Bradley and I think Rios will beat Manny. I'm sure Arum will have Bradley/Manny 2 anyway.

Hmm, you think Rios can beat Manny. They way they both fight it could be a slug fest. Rios excels in those toe to toe bouts. He doesn't seem to taking 200 head shots a fight.

[IamInuit]

Yes I do believe Rios can beat Manny. Rios is there to be hit no doubt but imo Manny is mentally done. A candle at both ends that has ran out of wick.

Actually, when I first saw the fight was on I thought it would be a Manny blowout. But as I stay current
with this thread I think peoples arguments that it won't be that make since. I guess I am slow to let go of Manny. I still think Manny will be victorious but I think he will continue to showcase his decline.
