By Chris Williams: WBO featherweight champion Mikey Garcia, a stable mate of Brandon Rios, feels that he could end up possibly hurting Manny Pacquiao in their fight in November. Mikey feels that Pacquiao’s brutal 6th round knockout loss to Juan Manuel Marquez last December was a very serious thing to where Pacquiao might not be able to comeback from the knockout.
He doesn’t see it as lack of toughness on Pacquiao’s part if he’s hurt by Rios, but rather his body not being able to handle getting hit hard after experiencing the knockout from Marquez.
Mikey said to the koncretejungle.com “He [Pacquiao] can get hurt if Brandon touches him. He’ll get hurt again. You want to see how Pacquiao comes out of a knockout loss. It [Pacquiao’s previous knockout loss] could be a big, big impact.”
