Can Pacman Take It On the Chin and Win?
Rios does hit hard – no doubt, and especially in close. If he can get into that range where he's at his most deadly, he'll be able to do harm. He's no one-punch-killer, but really – neither is JMM.
Pac-Man may very well take Rios out. I believe he does. And his ability to take punishment may still be good – but not as good as before. The neurological ability to withstand violence to the brain differs vastly between individuals. But the day comes when even the most resilient, hardheaded m-f is affected if he doesn't get out of the game in time.—Grimm also wonders when the jig will be up for Pacman
Another stellar year from our Forum crew, the best in this known universe. Results for Reader of the Year are still being tabulated. In a moment of weakness, I hired CJ Ross to help with the computation and, well, it didn’t go well. Happy New Year to the best and brightest amateur scribes! –Editor Mike
“Boxing is full of optical illusions. And I give Money May MAD props for doing a mix of Houdini and Marlin The Magician. Wow! Money May fought a club-fighting-like humbug in “The Cali Ghost.” And a hyped-up B fighter in Canelo. The promotions were grand to get eyeballs and easy impressionable minds behind those PPV screens. Because the live gates didn’t sell out.” –Radam isn’t sold on this being the year of Money May
“It must be said that even a wounded, war torn Martinez is still a more dangerous threat than Canelo for Cotto. The powers that be must be expecting a phenomenal turnout.” —Brown Sugar says that Martinez is a tougher out for Cotto than Canelo
