Same as all other USA fights... Even though it is in Macau.

Pacman is back to his best and will destroy Rios. Cannot see Rios lasting more than 8 rounds.

I hope he then goes over to the corner and knocks out Ariza

I agree. Rios is tailor made for Pacquiao IMO but still far too much was made of Manny's knock out loss I think. Whilst he got knocked he still looked super fast and powerful in that fight. If anything im more suspicious where Marquez's new found punching came from. I know he's always had a dig on him but not to that degree.

And now Rios has Ariza in his team!

I think there is a chance of the upset here. Manny didn't look bad in his last fight but he did look predictable. I'm not really sure why but i want Manny to lose this one.

Haha, im the opposite. When Pacquaio was tearing through the weight classes and beating up on weight drained opponents like De la hoya, etc, I wanted to see him lose because I was suspicious of whether he was using steroids and also because of the weight draining part and the excessive hype around him at the time. Now he's been knocked out cold and people are sort of writing him off im finding myself rooting for him. On top of that, I dont particularily like Brandon Rios as a person and after Ariza kicking Roach who again I was not a big fan of either i found myself wanting Manny to do a number on him.

Should be an absolute barn-burner this one.

Kudos to allegedly for picking this belter up.
