What did we expect other than Rios being thrashed by Manny?

Rios was asked during the post fight conference if he ever tried to k.o. pac and he basically said no cause he could of gotten k.o.ed. Sound like it was either gonna be Clottey or Margarito. Rios rather cover up and be like Clottey instead of Margarito.

Yeh I didn't expect that from him, not after all the bravado and all out attitude he had shown with Manny just blasted out. He looked flat and put on a leash.

I was Manny all the way but I expected to see Rios have a few more effective rounds. I didn't expect such a lopsided fight.

Absolutely nothing lol although some were banking on a miracle or the virgin mary coming to aide Rios..

Some fans figured Pacman wouldnt be the same after the last fight but many of us knew that one punch knockouts dont damage fighters like prolonged beatings do.. Pac was actually looking real good, giving marquez a beating until he got caught so I knew he'd recover fine, physically..

C'mon , it's fuckin slow Rios who can't box for shit. How is he going to compete with a speed demon like Pacquiao.. It dont work like that..
