I'm dead ass serious, we seen how Margarito did Manny, and Rios has the same style with more speed and a heavier pop, is Manny ready for that type of war after being ko'ed and inactive

I'm concerned should team Manny have sought an easier touch......

Cotto goes back to Top rank though interesting, a Manny or Sergio match may be on the horizon for him



Genius business man, Pacquaio should take notes

Cotto went back to Arum? :what:

Ugggghhhhh.

I was hoping he would just beat the snot outta Victor Ortiz in September and keep working through GB.

If Manny is concerned about his health, he can retire.PERIOD...aint got time for bytchassness in the sport of boxing... Rios is a tuneup fight for Manny even after the KO..

Funny you bring up Margerito without acknowledging he had a 20lb advantage over Pacquiao

Not sure they have one yet.

I do know Paul Spadafora, who's fought for HBO in the past, was scheduled to face Thomas Dulorme, but declined. It was gonna be on HBO Latino, which tells me it would've been televised, but I guess not a part of the main triple header...$$$ was probably low.

At this time, no idea what HBO is planning for the 3rd fight, line-up is kinda weak as of right now, Geale-Barker is a decent fight taking nothing away from either guy but they need a Donaire-Rigo 2, Donaire-126 opponent or Rigo-Darchinyan fight made soon. That's a headliner, not Geale-Barker.

I'd also like to say that's the problem with HBO "build-a-fighter" system. Nobody wants to see these guys take on jobbers then get exposed when they face a real fighter, especially when your competition, Showtime, does it better. They'd (ST) rather put two undefeated guys together, or just two rising prospects, and roll with the winner, a "weeding out" process if you will. HBO is too arrogant for their own good and refuse to compromise for the good of the sport and/or their fans. In HBO's eyes, KO's over everything regardless if it's 82-0 with 80 kos against a 15-12 guy who's been stopped 12 times, they just wanna showcase.

An outside observer sees this and goes :shaq2: and boxing fans already scoff at the nonsense, but again, HBO is set in its egotistical ways.

You would think that HBO would use Boxing After Dark to build these dudes up better like they used to back in the day (Marco Antonio Barrera made his bones on BAD against Kennedy McKinney and HBO boxing as a whole was the better for it) but whoever is in charge over there now sucks at his job.

Styles make matches and not weight, Bradley who used the same infighting style troubled Manny at times also:manny:

I agree, it's bullshyt all around when you think of it, Mike earned the shot, and does team Manny have a death wish for Manny with choosing Rios

Rios is no tune up breh, thats a guaranteed war, and Manny isnt disciplined enough to follow a game plan

Honestly as a Manny fan I dont like the fight, it has side show and cashing out written all over it................

What should I do?

Website?? I don't know how to make a website, is it difficult?

I'd love to write about boxing, wish I could get my foot in the door, I'ma try and contact Dan Raf about it, he's in VA like me, let's see what he has to say...

A website would be a lot of work and take up most of your life if you were serious about making it successful.
An easier route would be could start off with a blog (Wordpress, Blogger etc) and just write as many articles/posts asa you can while also trying to create a loyal following and generate views of your work.
Didn't this site used to have an articles section too? Is it gone? Because you could have written here and gotten a decent amount of views too.
