We really don’t need any other reason to watch Manny fight Brandon Rios on Saturday. The brawl/scuffle, the impending end to Manny’s career, the fact that this is a damn good fight with Brandon Rios coming off the first loss of his career… All of it adds up to a must-watch Saturday night/Sunday (in China) for fight fans. To add to the hype, Brandon Rios is of course ready and waiting to take on Manny in a fight that he has to win dominantly, and it seems like he knows it.
Our Marcos Villegas caught up with a somewhat salty Brandon Rios in China to discuss Saturday’s fight and the ‘incident’ that everyone is speaking about:
“That’s [your] job. That’s your job to start something that is nothing. But as I said, you guys were there, so if everyone sees the video from start to finish you’ll see everything right there. That’s the good thing about me, I wasn’t in there. I was doing my workout. So at the end of the day, what can you say? It’s almost fight night and both camps are ready. I don’t know”
