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

[Hulk]

Rios picks a fight with Kellerman cause he couldn't pick one with Manny. Dude, Come on.

Great fight. But the difference in class shows up AFTER the fight. Manny goes around and congratulates the entire Rios camp on a good show. Then he does a classy interview. Rios and his puffed up face claims he never felt Pac's power, and decides to pick a fight with Max instead.

Par for the course.

Rios is still a punk. A very very tough punk though.

I'd like to see Rios take the Randall Bailey right hand then smile and talk shit.

Tough enough to walk around getting slapped around, but too much of a punk to try and win the fight.

Congrats to Pacman. I'm sure Rios vs Alvarado 3 or even Ruslan Provodnikov will happen next year and Pacman should still pursue Money May but I'm sure it won't happen.

Pacquiao did what he was supposed to do. He moved and hit and Rios ....got punched.

I don't blame Rios for getting angry with Kelllerman, because the subtext of the question he asked was "tell us in your own words why you weren't just a punching bag out there, because it sure looked like it to anyone who was watching the fight". Rios was little more than a heavybag out there, but it is disrespectful to bring it up to a guy right after a fight.

Fight went just like I figured it would (minus a stoppage for Pacquaio). Rios could have had Angelo Dundee, Ray Arcel and Eddie Futch training him, it wouldn't have made a difference. He isn't equipt to deal with a Pacquaio. He was a carefully selected opponent for a gaurenteed impressive Pacquaio performance. A highly ranked guy who was tailor made for Pac. No big surprise.
