Pacquiao to Knock Out Rios says Coach Roach

Philippine boxing icon Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao trains intensely with his coach Freddie Roach which expects the Pacman to knock out the American-Mexican and WBO light welterweight title-holder Brandon 'Bambam' Rios this coming 24 of November at Cotai Arena, Venetian Resort in Macao.

Pacman's coach expressed satisfaction during the boxer's training performance. Manny also says that he  trains like a 20 year-old to break a losing streak and re-claim his reputation as one of the world's best fighters. And if he wins, the Pacman will not only re-establish himself from his straight losses against Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez and American Timothy Bradley.

Roach is very confident that Pacquiao would beat Rios because "Manny is much better ring gladiator."
Moreover, Pacman's sparring are Frederick Lawson, a welterweight from Ghana and Liam Vaughan, a British lightweight middleweight.

Manny Pacquio vs Brandon Rios: The Clash in Cotai

Dubbed as the Clash in Cotai, Filipino boxing icon Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38 KO) will return to the ring on November 23, Saturday at the Cotai Arena, Venecian Resort, Macao to face his Mexican-American opponent Brandon "Bam-Bam" Rios (31-1-1, 23 KO).

Although "Bam-Bam" Rios (1.75m) is much taller than "Pacman" Pacquiao (1.69m), I think it's a good and interesting fight, and expected to be an action-packed main event.
