Bam Bam is going to look like a stroke victim after this fight.
For those who have some knowledge in this area, is Alex Ariza considered a good s&c coach? Does he know his stuff?
Rios needs a KO. Asia giving it to Pac.

Pacquiao has been doing his various conditioning exercises and mitt work with longtime friends and assistant trainers, Buboy Fernandez and Nonoy Neri in the brand new gym that just opened this April. The eight division titlist starts the day with a morning jog at around five and then spends at least three hours in the afternoon in the facility to complete his day.
I'm not impressed by that clip.. JMM and Pac have both been recorded strength training with a lot more intensity... If you can talk and joke, you aren't going as hard as you can...
Theres no way people could think Rios has a chance. Pac dos not lose to guys who come after him. He just doesn't.
Being unable to talk isn't indicative of an unsuccessful training program. Him hitting the bag with a baseball bat looks to me as if its training to increase rate of force development. Hitting it as fast as possible is the goal, not to do it as fast as possible until you run out of breath and start slowing down.
true
although I think other exercises could probably accomplish that a little better than swinging a baseball bat that probably weighs between 24 and 30 oz
That's what I'm saying man, I enjoy both fighters. I just don't see this ending anyway but Pacquiao standing over him. Then again Pacquiao haven't stopped a fighter in 3 years I think.
He's not fighting slow old men; granted Rios is not world beater but he is young, hungry, strong, decent punching, and putting the work in he needs to.
Part of Manny going up and being successful was the S & C program he was on.
I do believe Rios is going to give manny a better fight than anyone, outside of JMM. It may not be the nice counter punching of JMM but he is going to be game and will make Manny work harder than he has against someone not named JMM.
I bet as Ariza is working eith Rios I bet he thinks to him self oh man this dude gon get wreeeeecked.
