Boxing career ni Pacman titiklop kay Rios - Garcia

MACAU--Idineklara ni Robert Garcia na matatapos sa Linggo ang boxing career ni Manny Pacquiao.

“Everybody’s end comes someday and it could be this fight,” wika ni Garcia.

“He does have a lot to lose in this fight and that’s pressure not only for him but his trainer and everybody in his camp,” dagdag pa ng trainer ni Brandon Rios.

Tinuran pa ni Garcia, makakasukatan si Rios ni Pacquiao bukas sa Cotai Arena sa The Venetian, Macau, China, na bumaba na ang kalidad ng paglaban ng Pambansang kamao noong matalo kina Timothy Bradley at Juan Manuel Marquez noong 2012.

“The Manny of three, four years before should have beaten Bradley. Marquez is 40 years old and Pacquiao was supposed to beat him, to knock  him out, Pacquiao got tired and he got knocked out, it wouldn’t have happened three or four years ago. He hasn’t dropped anybody since 2009,” pahayag pa nito.

Pinabulaanan naman ito ni Freddie Roach na naunang naghayag ng prediksyon na matutulog sa bakbakan si Rios.

“I hope they are overconfident because Manny is going to destroy this guy,” tugon ni Roach.

Inamin niya na hindi na napapatulog ni Pacquiao ang mga kalaban matapos ang 2009 pero hindi ito dahil sa humina na ang kanyang ‘punching power’ kundi dahil sa nagkakaroon siya ng awa sa mga nakakalaban.

Pero iba ang labang ito dahil kailangan ni Pacman na manalo ng kumbinsido at ipakitang kaya pa niyang bumalik sa dating kinalalagyan sa sport.

“Coming off two losses, he knows he has to be impressive, and being impressive is not winning by close decision, being impressive is winning by knockout,” pagdidiin ni Roach.

“I don’t feel Rios can go the distance with a guy with the talents of Manny Pacquiao. It’s a world class fighter going in against a guy who is a journeyman at best,” pagtatapos ni  Roach.
