Manny Pacquiao vs Brandon Rios Betting Preview

Published on November 23rd, 2013 4:42 pm EST
Manny Pacquiao, previously considered by many to be one of the world's top pound-for-pound fighters, will be looking to get back on track when he takes on Brandon Rios on Saturday evening in Macau.

Manny Pacquiao is looking to rebound from two straight losses. His last fight resulted in "Pac Man" lying face down on the canvas following a savage beating from Juan Manuel Marquez. Prior to that, Pacquiao lost a very controversial decision (to put it mildly) to Timothy Bradley.

Brandon Rios, on the other hand, is also looking to rebound following a unanimous decision loss to Mike Alvarado in March of 2013.
