Got the feeling Pac will be KO'ed again brutally

[Spicoli]

The biggest thing for me prior to even a Bradley was his head. Do you wanna be President, a lounge singer or some Apostle. Physically he is not a massive collector of damage in last few...Marquez aside...but his fire has seemed to dampen. Bradley should not have been limping aroung on one foot being hit clean and come close to leaving it totally in hands of judges, he just shouldn't. Rios is a giant sponge and has shown it sticks on him, no defense, no imagination or second gear and he has the midsection of a softish mid century pin up girl. The Manny that was in early with Marquez should be sharp enough and on another level and pick Rios apart...if Alvarado boxes you and leaves you in lurges, come on man...but anything less and coming in with his huge melon in the clouds and not focused and I wouldn't rule anything out. Not digging but its not new for Manny to have been sparked out, and he more than came back from that..just never has he fallen from such a high mount.

good points boys. Maybe IM writing him off too soon, but it could well be he is shot to shit after that KO. I mean that was some frikiin KO really. Surprised he even woke up after that. Worth another look:

It was such a savage KO, I don't think anyone outside of his camp knows how that will affect him. He is obviously not a Roy Jones type of fighter and is no stranger to taking big punches, but nobody takes anything positive from that type of pole axe and he'd never actually been iced out before. Thing is right until that point, he looked a lot better against Marquez than he had in his few fights prior, against Bradley at least.

Does anyone remember when the Rios fight was actually announced, how long after that fight? It strikes me he wouldn't have taken it if there was reason to expect he was in a bad way from it, but it could just be his own ego refusing an easier opponent.

Actually it is. He had been stopped before. But those were a long time ago when nobody knew who the fuck he was. Plus he was conscious when they happened. He wasn't conscious against Marquez. He was knocked the fuck out. Literally put to sleep in front of millions. No way he dismisses that like nothing.

Agreed. I dont see Manny's career ending well just because of the way he fights. Once it all starts to go downhill its not going to be pretty. It would not surprise me to see him stopped by people that could not carry his jock 2 years ago. I hope he gets out before that happens.
