HBO PPV Boxing Pacquiao vs.Rios Fight HD Free


Manny Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38 KO) looks to rebound from back-to-back losses -- one controversial, one definitive -- when he returns to the ring and fights for the first time in Macao, China, this Saturday night on HBO pay-per-view, facing Brandon Rios (31-1-1, 23 KO) in a 12-round welterweight battle
Here's a video look back at some of Pacquiao's biggest performances and fights, with my own comments added for the hoots and guffaws of the world at large.
Manny Pacquiao TKO-11 Marco Antonio Barrera (Nov. 15, 2003)
In terms of presenting a legacy of greatness, this fight is very important. As far as what it means for Saturday's fight, pretty much nothing. This was 10 years, 20 pounds, four weight classes, 20 fights, and 188 rounds ago for Manny Pacquiao. He's transformed about four times since then -- he's gone through a peak and started into a natural decline since this fight. This is about as relevant to the Rios fight as Pacquiao's 1998 win at flyweight over Chatchai Sasakul.
Manny Pacquiao D-12 Juan Manuel Marquez (May 8, 2004)
The first of four meetings in one of the all-time great boxing rivalries. Some believe this was still their best fight. I believe that you can make your case for any one of them as the best fight, really. (My favorite is the second.)
Manny Pacquiao TKO-10 Erik Morales (Jan. 21, 2006)
Pacquiao got revenge for an upset loss to Morales in 2005 with this win, where he became the first man to ever stop the ferocious Mexican legend. The win did lose a little steam, though, since Morales had lost to Zahir Raheem in the interim.
