HAS Brandon Rios suffered from overheat ahead of his big bout against Manny Pacquiao next Sunday?
Of course, Rios can?t be blamed for snarling at members of Team Pacquiao, specifically head trainer Freddie Roach.
As reported by Ian Iole of Yahoo Sports yesterday, Rios has complained about the unjustified treatment being accorded him by the opposing camp.
**
Rios did not like the idea that Roach, in particular, has refused to treat him seriously.
Iole said Rios has complained that Roach & Co. tried to ?treat him like some sort of a joke.?
?The more I see tapes of his (Rios) fights, the more I feel better,? Roach had been quoted as saying.
**
Iole said Rios had also complained how he continued to be downgraded as nothing better than ?a tune-up fight.?
Rios, a former amateur standout, has very sound basics.
?I?m not a tune-up fight, that they?ll find out soon enough,? Rios remarked
**
Of course, the order of the day is for Rios to throw caution to the wind if he hoped to run down Pacquiao.
In fact, Sugar Ray Leonard has reportedly advised Rios to jump on over Pacqquiao right at the first bell.
Rios has been advised against leaving room for Pacquiao ?to fight intelligently.?
