Well there was no miracle on last the Saturday in Makao, China. Manny "Pack Man" Paquiao outboxed and gave a boxing lesson for much bigger Brandon Rios. Manny won by unanimous decision 119-109, 120-108, 118-110. It was a fight of two completely different level fighters, Manny moved on the ring a lot and he was hitting, hitting and hitting Rios with one-twos, combinations and even two fast left hands in a row. Rios was just too slow and he was unable to catch Manny in the middle of the ring or to counter. He had only few chances when he put Manny on the ropes and worked on his body and head with his big shots, but those furies happened so rare that they had almost no effect on "Pac Man".
Many people thought that maybe after
that brutal knockout loss against Marquez Manny is unable to take a big
shot and Rios definitely has a power in his hands. But it was clear that
one year pause from the big boxing that Manny took helped him to
recover and he had no problems when Rios landed his big punches to the
head. Manny took them very well and he recovered very fast.
It was one sided fight from the first
second till the final bell. I was impressed with the stamina Pacquiao
has and he still has his speed and power. He was unable to knock much
bigger Rios out as I predicted but he was able to dominate and connect
his shots for all 36 minutes...
