On Nov. 23, all eyes will be fixed upon eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao, as he returns to the ring from the first time in nearly a year. Facing off with rugged brawler Brandon Rios in Macau, China in an HBO pay per view attraction, there are several questions hovering around him that Pacquiao will look to answer.
It was Dec. 8 of 2012 when Pacquiao suffered a horrific knockout loss at the hands of Juan Manuel Marquez, as his Mexico City rival drilled him with a counter right hand that put him to sleep in the sixth round of their fourth fight in Las Vegas.
It makes the match with the always-pressing and hard-punching Rios that much more intriguing.
Catching up with WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley recently, I was extremely curious for his take on the Pacquiao-Rios showdown.

According to a BoxingScene.com report from Rene Umanzor last week, Saul Alvarez’s manager Eddy “Chepo” Reynoso is claiming that his man has been doing tremendous damage to his sparring partners in advance of his Sep. 14 clash with Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas.
Golden Boy Promotions matchmaker Eric Gomez had the following to say after speaking with Chepo about Canelo’s camp in Big Bear, Calif.
“He told me [Canelo] already knocked off four sparring partners. We’ve already changed eight or nine people and just [sent] him another from Philadelphia. I’ve never seen him like this. One of the sparring partners broke a rib, two other were injured, one of them injured a shoulder and another was knocked out.”
The reaction from Mayweather’s camp upon hearing the reports has been that of near bemusement.

On Monday, Aug. 19, MAGIC Market Week once again invaded Las Vegas, in both the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Mandalay Bay.
Regarded as one of the premiere trade events in the international fashion industry, you can never be too surprised who you will run into during any given MAGIC event.
Scheduled to appear at Noon, but running about an hour behind schedule, undefeated, pound for pound superstar and five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather (44-0, 26 KO’s) played host to onlookers with a light training session inside of Project Movement.
Mayweather is presently getting ready for a Sept. 14 date at the MGM Grand with Mexican superstar and junior middleweight champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. Set to take place on Showtime pay per view, Mayweather-Alvarez is by far the biggest boxing event of the year.
Following his workout, a noticeably relaxed Mayweather took time to interact with fans by signing autographs and posing for the occasional photo for the most ardent of supporters.
While Mayweather’s workout inside of the Mandalay Bay was surely entertaining for those watching, it is just a snippet of the kind of work he has been putting in inside of his personal gym ahead of the Alvarez clash.
