Still think Manny is a step up for Rios and that Manny will win by LKO.

Manny will have too much nouse and hand
speed for Rios ,a late stoppage .

poor fight really but understandle after pacs last fight wipeout, pac will win a wide ud, rios to slow and crude to cause any real danger

Same night as Froch Groves is this fight, should be a great night of boxing.

A safe fight for a fighter that has just been KOed is to go in against someone that is feather fisted, not to go in against a fighter that is a big puncher and an attacking mentality with a high KO percentage.


Rios has never lost a fight when the other boxer comes to fight.

Rios has never been stopped.

Manny by LKO

You doing the prediction league for this week D4? Some good fights on Saturday

Pacquaio's a pöof








Nah just kidding

He'll KO Rios before the halfway mark

The greatest fighter of our era

So great he cant beat Marquez decisively in 4 attempts.

Also I wouldn't be so sure of a Pacquiao win. Most fighters dont recover from knockouts like that especially at the end of their careers. Rios isn't a knockout artist. Just a decent puncher.

Good so see Manny has overcome his fear of needles.

I would expect a stoppage win for manny, but it's difficult to know how much getting destroyed by Marquez will affect him.

who even cares?

Poochiaou does well against aggressive fighters, look at the Mary fight. Give the little good head a counter puncher and he crumbles.

Boxing myth, held by people that jumped on that tag line without really understanding anything about the sport.

Ever heard of Lehlohonolo Ledwaba?

I doubt any of you fairweather fans have. A slick, swift counter puncher boxer.

And what happened when Pacquiao faced him?


Watch more boxing and maybe you will learn something.

And what style does Rios do well against?

Attacking come forward fighters, seems like, it is a fight made for Rios.

Let's not overestimate rios here,the only worthy opponent he has faced is alvarado.The guy can slug,but that's about it.He's got a punchers chance but that's about it.

Think you are forgetting his fights with Antillon and Acosta.

Rios is not a slugger, he is an inside fighter. He has more defensive skills head movement that the likes of Hatton.

People that call Rios a slugger don't understand the finer points of boxing.

Guess Ali was not the greatest fighter of his era as well, because he could not be Norton decisively in 3 fights

Assuming someone will make a thread for the boxing tonight?

D4 where's this week's prediction league???

And you making the saturday boxing thread?

Got more head movement than Hatton.

FACT!

Antillon and Acosta were more accomplished than Alvarado.

Rios has fought similar quality as Broner

Love how D4 tried to play down Canelo Mayweather. Yet bigs up a punchbag in Rios against Pacman. This is the same guy that was accusing Mayweather of ducking Mosley in 2010 yet when he signed to fight him said Mosley was old and shot. Then Pacman fought him in 2011 apparently Mosley got younger and better according to D4.

Let's not forget Rios got a gift against Abril after being schooled.
