Unless he's totally shot, which I don't think he is, Rios is easy work. He throws a lot of punches, but doesn't hit very hard (especially at 147lb). Dude has literally no defense, and takes shots to the face more than Jenna Jameson.
I'd be very surprised if Pacquiao didn't get a stoppage here, let alone lose.
Who do you think he will fight after? I'd most definitely think the winner of Juan Manuel Marquez vs Timmy Bradley. If Rios pulled out a miracle somehow, he'd get a rematch w/ Pac for sure.
If Pacquiao fights the same way that gave him his big name ,he should get the KO over Rios if he is persistent.
Brandon Rios is a volume puncher that stands right in front of his opponents and shows little defense ,that sort of fighter is made to order for Manny Pacquiao ,especially if Rios moves up in weight.
Pacquiao by 8th round TKO if Pacquiao chooses to press the action ,easy UDfor Pacquiao if he chooses to get some rounds in.
If he isn't damaged from his fight with Marquez then I think he will punish Rios. Rios is nowhere near the fighter that Marquez is. He comes forward to fight and we have seen what happens to those who try to brawl with Pacquiao.
