Pacquiao looks focused, motivated and ready ...

[imp]

I feel sorry for rios.

That guy is really damaged.

On the 24/7 episodes inbetween rounds saying hes enjoying taking punishment.

Rios needs to find another job as this sport is killing him.

Pac will find this lightweight easy to hit.

[Galaxy]

If Pacquiao fights smart this should be an easy fight for him. He needs to avoid getting into a fire fight with Rios

[ray corso]

Manny should come out boxing in & out and see how Brandon reacts to his movement. No need to trade unless Brandon shows to be gun shy!
This IS a big fight for both and Manny has something to prove to himself! He made the mistake against Juan and paid dearly for it!
If Brandon could fight with Manny for 10 rounds and give a good account for himself it will open better doors. If he gets stopped early the "bad doors" will open! Dangerous fight for both men.
Be safe, fight hard and the best will win! Ray.

I'm absolutely not going to tell either one of these guys how to fight! Would it do any good?
I hope it's a good fight with plenty of action. I hope the refereeing is good and the judging is perfect.

I'm flying to Macau tomorrow to teach Manny how to fight, I expect it will make all the difference.

Oh boy, I better change my bets to Rios.

Agreed, do you remember his post fight tirade after the second Alvarado fight. My cat made more sense. I wonder if he's in touch with a neurologist

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.

He has serious mental issues and is punch drunk at this young age.

Sad to see.

[p4pking]

Rios is borderline retarded to begin with, doubt he's a further medical case or anything like that. Manny would have to be an absolute mess to lose this, he'll have a heavy bag in front of him. Brandon is not really a puncher, unless Pacquiao has been physically jolted I don't see why he'd even be gunshy. It should be brutal one way or another, would be sad to see Pacquiao lose to a guy like Rios that's for sure.

[Beanflicker]

This has all the makes of a brutal mismatch beating. People are questioning whether Pacquiao will be Pacquiao in this... fair enough, he took a brutal KO from JMM.

But Pac has always came back strong from losses. He got KTFO twice back in the 90s and only got better. After he lost to Morales, his skills went through the roof. So I'm not convinced that this KO from JMM will take the fight out of Manny. I think he'll be more calculated and he's going to tear Rios apart. I'd be amazed if Rios makes it to the final bell.
