Let's be serious now- Pac-man is going to DESTROY Rios!

Marquez won that night- but Pac still owns the series.

To me, the only fight Pac won was the 2nd one. And I think Marquez's brutal KO gives him the lead.

what a joke the memory of the previous fights with decisions went out the window. The vivid memory is of Pac KTFO face 1st and the mothers, sisters, wives and girl friends of Pinoy boys crying my gaaaaaaad he's dead!!!!!!!

People act is if Pac did nothing in the Marquez fight, it looked like his was kicking Marquez ass.

Up one round is hardly kicking ones ass. The fight was being fought on JMMs terms. It is no secret neither fighter wanted a decision. Pac has not KOed anyone in years, factor in the fact JMM trained for the KO. JMM's entire fight plan was to use Pac's aggressive style, poor defense and rocks for brain to KTFO of Pac. Post fight phrase repeated over and over by JMM "inteligencia". JMM has always had it and combined strength for desired result.

No kidding. That was hardly an ass kicking. I admit after the first knockdown, Pac was getting the better of the exchanges but never to a point of real danger because Marquez was getting his shots in as well..

Marquez baited him into being aggressive and was setting him up for the right hand..

Completely agree with the OP. Too many boxing posters are getting carried away and misled going into this fight.

It's nothing more than a tune up fight for Pacquiao. Rios has no place to be in the ring with Pacquiao otherwise. Rios can't box, he is slow, has no footwork, no jab. He isn't a known knock out artist. I've noticed his body shots are looking great but there is no chance in hell he will catch Manny with it. he will stand there and accept punishment and make pacman look good. Due to his tough warrior character he will be thanked and walk away with a couple million. Then fight Alvarado again

I have a gut feeling Manny is shot
Rios regardless his low lever will be the winner
It will be humiliation for the end of Manny's career

ive said this for a long time but pac will not trade with rios. he will revert back to the de la hoya gameplan. rios' only chance of winning is making pac stand in there with him. anybody can say what they want but rios hits very hard and has a very good chin, but he cant handle speed well. i just think that the fight wont be too exciting because pac will stay on the outside the whole fight and win a decision.

Pac will win this by ko. Rios throws so frikkin wide...Pac will just come up the middle and kill him. I don't think Pac has anything to be spooked about as far as the JMM knockout. Luck Punch by JMM...I don't think he was even looking where he was throwing that punch. After JMM whined and
moaned to get a 3rd and 4th fight
(which manny didn't have to give him) now he's gone suprisingly silent on a 5th fight after landing a lucky punch. Makes you think.

Bascially, JMM whined and moaned


to fight on until he won... his strength and conditioning coach had more to do with that win than anyone else.

What a stupid remark , Pac stepping into a perfectly timed punch at the end of a round he was winning was the factual result. Pac lost because he is a dumb shit with cave mans looks and IQ. Arum puppet..

Can not see how PAC wins even if he destroys Rios. Abril boxed Rios ears off so no way a win warrants a Mayweather fight. Hell these two fighters coming off losses making this money is a complete joke. It also tells us all Rios is there for for the big payday. Top Rank can not afford Pac to lose to this average fighter with no skill set, speed or power. So what is there to get excited about this latest cherry picked opponent ?

at his best pac would have completely blasted rios

rios is absolutely made for a peak pac

so we will see what stage of his carear pac is at
