Brandon Rios discusses what makes him "must-see TV" ahead of his November 23 clash with Manny Pacquiao.
Your name has been attached
to some of the most entertaining and impressive fights this year so far.
What makes Brandon Rios must-see TV?
"What makes Brandon Rios must
see TV? Well everybody already knows how I fight. Everybody knows I
come and fight with my heart and balls. I leave it all in the ring and
there are no limits. People like that at the fights. The fans already
know I will not give them a boring fight, because every single fight I
have brought my exciting style of fighting to the ring. There have been
fights where the opponent has not let me give the fight I like to give
but that doesn't stop me from trying. For example when I fought Anthony
Peterson in 2010, I tried giving fans what they paid to go see, but he
kept giving me low blows. Even with the low blows though, I still let it
go and fought the way I fight. As a matter of fact the low blows just
got me angrier and I came back stronger, which I think he realized
because he would come back with another one.

"With Richar Abril same thing, I
trained for the fight hard, like I always do. Had no respect for him
because of the fact he had disrespected me in Florida that same year. So
that it just made me train harder and prepare myself well for the
fight. When I came in to the ring, and we started fighting I noticed he
kept clinching and didn't stop. I tried to change my game plan but it
seems like he wanted to slow dance the whole time. Of course I got
frustrated because I am used to giving the fans a different kind of
fight, not see a slow dance. I can only do so much though, because both
opponents need to want to fight in order to give the fans the fight they
want to see. He wasn't willing to engage.
"I now train in a way to fight
different fighters, not just brawl, because at the end of the day I
don't know how my opponents train to fight me. Come November 23 I can
guarantee Manny Pacquiao and myself will give the fans the fight of the
year. Why? Because Pacquaio has established that he is an elite
fighter, I think I have proven throughout my professional career, and
especially the last two fights against Mike Alvarado, that I am an
exciting fighter. A fighter the fans want to see live.
