People compare it to Margarito, but in reality Marg was a legit light middleweight. Brandon is a light welterweight. I don't think he'll have the bulk to stand up to Pac's onslaught.
Rios won't get out of the way of the punches. I think it's clear Marquez added some power to his pop from his "special" trainer.

Pac destroys this kid. As you said, unless he has gone waaaayyyy downhill, Rios doesn't have the power nor the speed to hit Pac, neither does he have the speed or skill to get out of the way.

We need to put that Marquez "win" into context- up until that point, Pac was dominating the fight. He got hit with a good shot.

If you and I fought 4 times, better believe- if I have the passion and pride as Mexican fighters do, like Marquez does- then I would win, at least, one of them. Marquez won that night- but Pac still owns the series.
There is a question mark hanging over every single one of Pac's decisions, you can't really argue with a knockout and I'd take a questionable draw, two robberies and a KO win any day.

You better believe that the only reason Pac was winning the 4th fight on the cards was because Marquez's gameplan wasn't to win the fight on points and get KO'd again, it was to hang tough, plant his feet and take it away from any corrupt officials.

You're right, he worked on strength and power in training because that was what complimented the gameplan, any accusations coming from Pac fanboys about PEDs are as ironic as they are hypocritical.
