Rios ibabawi si Margarito kay Pacquiao
MANILA, Philippines - Iisa ang kanilang chief trainer at pareho silang MeÂxican-American.
Ngunit ayon kay BranÂdon ‘Bam Bam’ Rios, magÂkaiba sila ni dating world lightweight champion Antonio Margarito, tiÂnalo ni Manny Pacquiao noÂong Nobyembre 13, 2010.
“I respect him, love him like a brother, but me and Margarito are diffeÂrent,†ani Rios. “He did things to hurt Pacquiao, and I saw things we’re going to counter off.â€
Ayon sa 27-anyos na si Rios, wala siyang balak na iganti si Margarito kay Pacquiao.
“But I’m not thinking about revenge, this being a grudge, or that I’m mad. If I went in there mad, I’d get knocked out,†wika ni Rios (31-1-1, 23 KOs) na saÂsagupa kay Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38 KOs) sa NobÂyembre 24 sa The Venetian sa Macau, China.
Sa naturang Pacquiao-Margarito fight sa Texas Stadium ay lumaban si RiÂos sa undercard kung saÂan niya tinalo si Omri LowÂther via technical knockout.
Sinabi ni Rios na maÂlaki na ang ipinagbago ni Pacquiao nang talunin si Margarito at si Shane MosÂley noong Mayo 7, 2011.
“Over the years, Pacquiao has slowed down. He’s not as quick as he was. He doesn’t move around, he has leg cramps. He’s been in wars, after the (Juan Manuel) Marquez fight. So we’re going to approach it different,†sabi ni Rios sa Sarangani Congressman.
