Pacquiao-Rios... thoughts?
O.G A.Geesta'z:
I got Manny winning with a dominant decision win, Rios is just the kinda fighter Manny needs to win impressively and show the critics hes still a top fighter even after his devastating loss to Marquez, everyone thinks Manny will get knocked out which is possible with a lucky punch or a mistake in Manny's part but Rios is no Marquez, Marquez is one if not THE best counter puncher in the game right now along with B-hop and Mikey Garcia, so i see Rios pressing the fight and coming forward and Manny just taking him to school like he did Margarito/DeLaHoya...
Manny is the superior boxer which is gonna be the main factor in this fight, im expecting this to be an exciting fight with both of thier styles so if you plan on watching this fight you will get your moneys worth...
but hey then again this is boxing and a Top Rank promotion, so anything can happen...?
BabyBird:

You know, I think I'd also say that Marquez is the best counterpuncher, better than Floyd in that department... even though Floyd has a better overall defense. But I say that because while Floyd is obviously better and takes calculated risks, Marquez is more willing to take on gambles, which comes with its pros and cons. By taking those gambles, he can land some big hits (i.e. laying out Manny) and really excite the crowd, but it also leaves him open. Floyd can counterpunch very well, but he's less willing to engage. Remember how the Mayweather-Alvarez fight ended? Obviously the only way Canelo could win toward the end was with a big KO punch. And what happened in the last ten seconds of the fight? Floyd basically ran... he took a bunch of steps back to keep his distance and avoided any contact to not give Canelo a lucky shot. Safe and smart? Absolutely. But it's boring, and that's not why boxing fans paid $75. I'll watch Usain Bolt if I want to see running. Marquez, even as a defensive fighter, will at least be right in front of you and not be running.

It's not going to be a very technical fight, but we're going to see punches thrown and landed... which is what gets you your money's worth.
