HBO/BOXNATION- PACQUIAO v RIOS -The Clash in Cotai-SATURDAY NIGHT CHAT THREAD

[Addicted to_boxing]

Rios has never had a game plan, he's just a really tough guy. I'm only surprised that he took so many flush shots tonight.

Cant believe they gave Rios a few rds when tallied. Rios looked like both his feet were nailed to the floor. Like watching oil pour at -30

I had a clean sweep. Contgrats to Pac he clearly exposed Rios for what he is ... a tough mid level caliber knuckle head fighter with little skills / movement and a trainer that took a vacation in Macau. Impressive show but it "DOES NOT WARRANT" a Mayweather fight. It warrants a Prod, Bradley or Garcia match. Only a win over Garcia will earn Pac a match with Money despite a desperate HBO clamoring for the fight. Besides if it ever does take place it will be on Showtime.

What are you on about, $#!t-brains? Nobody wants to see that match anymore, the moment has passed...

Sad but true, it's likely we never see Manny vs Floyd. Boxing is a business, so there is always a chance the fight could happen, but don't hold your breath.
Manny has to keep winning--hopefully not a problem for a refocused Manny--and there is always Arum to deal with, so the chances are slim and none, in my opinion.

Is there a reason why Rios was the fight of choice was it to build up Pacs confidence again. Anyhow would like to see a rematch with Bradley and or maybe Jmm again but he never looks good against him. I not sure there not many option for him and the Mayweather fight is now gone so who knows.

Rios comes straight foward, has no lateral movement, no speed, no one punch KO power, Makes no in fight adjustments, does not move his head. A lighter less power hitting Abril showcased this awhile back by beating Rios ass off by boxing him as did Alvarado . Ask yourself how Pac stacks up next to Abril & Alvarado roll over a couple of times from laughing so hard and ask yourself why am I asking such a stupid question?

Remaining cherry picking bouts with Rios like traits a Pac delicacy all to be fought in Macau:
* Ghost - light hitting
* Ortiz - no heart, long inactivity
* Josesito Lopes - Rios Clone
* Maidana - Rios with power, no defense
* Mathysse with power , no defense

Las Vegas Bouts these guys will not fight in Macau and concede that Pac is more important than them
*Bradley - was ripped off
*Garcia - The best fight out there
*Broner - The one fight I would root for Pac

In Pac's Dreams
* JMM - 10 years JMM played second fiddle to Pac ( I believe JMM lost the first fight / drew the second / won the 3rd and finished the story in the 4th) I would make my rival suffer the rest of his life for this (a lifetime nightmare sentence to endure) .
* Mayweather - Had the opportunity to fight Mayweather & bought the juice by beliving he was the bigger draw than Money then gets KTFO in devastating fashion .... Adios no more need for a fight .
