blackrican23 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 After two straight losses, welterweight superstar Manny “Pacman†Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38 KOs) rebounded with a dominating twelve round unanimous decision over former world champion Brandon “Bam Bam†Rios (31-1-1, 23 KOs) on Saturday night before 13,101 at the sold out Venetian Macao’s Cotai Arena in Macao, China.There were good exchanges in rounds one and two with the faster Pacman getting the better of it. Pacquiao began moving more in round three and took control of the fight, landing hard shots while Rios stalked him. By round seven Rios was cut over both eyes as Pacquiao continued his assault. Rios was outworked in every round and he simply couldn’t solve Pacquiao’s style. Pacman was content to punish Rios for all twelve rounds, winning by scores of 120-108, 119-109, 118-110.Undefeated IBF featherweight champion Evgeny Gradovich (18-0, 9 KOs) successfully defended his title in a rematch against the man he dethroned, Billy Dib (36-3, 21 KOs). Gradovich was relentless as he pressured Dib. The Aussie tried boxing, brawling, turning southpaw without success. Gradovich scored a knockdown in round six and got the win in round nine when Dib’s corner asked referee Alan Huggins to stop the fight. Time was 1:10.Unbeaten heavyweight contender Andy Ruiz, Jr. (21-0, 15 KOs) won when Tor Hamer (21-3, 14 KOs) quit at the beginning of round four. Hamer got off to a good start, hitting Ruiz with many clean shots in rounds one and two. Ruiz, however, upped the pressure in round three and Hamer chose to remain on his stool.In his most impressive performance to date, two-time Olympic gold medalist and Chinese icon Zou Shiming (3-0) continued his march toward a world title with a one-sided six round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Juan Toscano (4-1, 1 KO). Scores were 60-54, 60-54, 60-52.Undefeated 2012 Puerto Rican Olympian junior lightweight Felix Verdejo (9-0, 6 KOs) scored a one-sided six round unanimous decision over tough guy Petchsamuthr Duanaaymukdahan (8-2, 1 KO). Petchsamuthr was deducted a point for a low blow in round six. Scores were 60-53 on all cards.Unbeaten bantamweight Rex Tso (8-0, 3 KOs) scored a first round stoppage of Susu Sithjadeang (7-4, 2 KOs) Tso was credited with a knockdown in round one and then got the stoppage with a barrage of unanswered punches. Time was 2:29.Unbeaten lightweight Ik Yang (13-0, 8 KOs) scored a six round majority decision over Hero Tito (7-3, 3 KOs). Scores were 57-57, 60-54, 59-55.Unbeaten super featherweight Harmonito Dela Torre (11-0, 6 KOs) scored a third round KO over Jason Butar-Butar (15-12-1, 11 KOs). Time 1:23.Super welterweight Kuck Kun Ng moved to 2-0, 0 KOs with a four round unanimous nod over You-Jie Zeng (4-5, 4 KOs). Scores were 40-36 on all cards. http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/early-pacquiao-rios-results-from-macao-231870 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackrican23 Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 fight played like i thought , no knockdowns . I thought rios did as well as he could , he fought well on the inside plus blocked alot of punches but manny pivots off his straight left really like no other , south paw speaking. Any fighter who tries the high tight guard against Pac gets shredded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Slayer Posted November 25, 2013 Members Share Posted November 25, 2013 Time for floyd to swoop in and take the fightFucking a. And the winner should then fight Ortiz, unless he should get his jaw broken again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Slayer Posted November 25, 2013 Members Share Posted November 25, 2013 I fear Provo is too stiff and slow to be able to wear down Pacman. Ortiz however...not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mofo2 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I thought Rios would have troubled Manny, but it was hard fought and comfortable at the same time for him against Brandon....he was pressed but his movement and speed controlled the fight!!!

WBF OG Neil_ Posted November 25, 2013 WBF OG Share Posted November 25, 2013 how dare this heathen mention a coward like Abril in the same breath as The Jackal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mofo2 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Pacquiao looked like he should against a slow, plodder like Rios. Rios was a handpicked opponent to make Pacquiao look good after that dose of Nyquil Marquez served him. I still don't think Pacquiao looked that impressive considering the opposition that was in front of him. I've never ranked Rios that high, I always thought he was a hype job and got more credit for his fighting style more so than his actual skills in the ring. I'd like to see Rios/Provodnikov, 2 overrated fighters with limited technique, calls for a good war. He wasnt handpicked to make him look good, he was picked because he was a credible opponent that would test Manny but ultimately come up short....it was a career resurrecting move that could have come back to bite him on the ass!
