BAM BAM GETS the STOPPAGE toLD YOU!!!!!
Wow
Incredible surge from rios ends it!!!!
Say what you will about BAM BAM but that fucker has heart
Damn it i wanted a few more rounds ;D
Pound on a wall long enough it will give...or sometimes it just falls on top of you! Alvarado took some serious damage there. Good stoppage
Buffer calm down man, :rolleyes:
Rios is sloppy, sloppy, sloppy, but he keeps on coming and eventually gets you. His chin is rock and his face doesn't disintegrate.
It was a poor stoppage though, you should give the man an 8 count first.
Wow, ya gotta give Rios credit, he sucked it up, came back and got the KO, officially a 7th round TKO for Rios. Rios' stock just went back up as an exciting, action fighter.
Alvarado is an idiot for sitting in the pocket and banging with rios. Especially when he knows its the only way rios can win a fight. He kept moving straight back too. What a waste... use some lateral movement instead of standing in front of a tank.
I agree, I think that they should implement the 8 count first before stopping a fighter like that.Quote:

Did Alvarado just say he's still the best in his weight? lmfao
It wasn't that bad of a stoppage to bring the camera on the ref... I would of liked a standing count but come on.. not this serious. Cortez has done waaaay more and still gets profile fights
Rios is pretty fuckin badass . What up yall !
Brandon Rios is a great fighter to watch and this was an epic fight, but i still can't forget how Richard Abril gave him a boxing lesson and was robbed.
The ref did Alvarez a favour. Alvarez was spent and even if he'd been given an eight count Rios was just going to steamroller over him whether it took a few more seconds or a round or two. Alvarez can (and has) claim it's a bad stoppage and he could have continued. Then in a couple of fights if/when Rios gets a 140 belt they can do it again and Alvarez will get a decent payday. If Alvarez had been properly flattened the rematch wouldn't be as attractive.
122 is frigging stacked to the ceiling! Santa Cruz is moving up too and its combustible. Love to see him fight Mares!
Awesome job by Pat Russell answering Max ":o" Kellerman. Mike was wooden there
Good night of Boxing so far, the main up next- Nonito Donaire vs. Toshiaki Nishioka, 12 rounds, for Donaire's WBO/IBF junior featherweight title.
I'm going to ride with Nishioka. I think Donaire is going to be surprised by the speed of Nishioka's straight left and his granite chin. The problem here is that he probably cant get the decision. I just hope tonight is not the night his age shows up.
Not to underestimate Nishioka, but I can't see him being a problem for Donaire.
Donaire by UD
On paper sure but I have an affinity for the underdog.Quote:

Nishioka must've been overly impressed by the Nonito KO of Montiel. He refuses to unglue the right hand from his cheek.
Dont like Nishioka mannerism and corner. It ALL left hook weary...seed planted... and once it does land, that dont help.
It's hard to enjoy this fight as much as I would like with the buzz from the last fight still lingering lol
WTF is Nishioka doing in there? Crowd becoming restless.
Compared to Rios/Alvarado, this has been a snoozer so far.
So far this is like Donaire's fight with that Argentina fighter i forget his name Omar something ?
For Gods sake man throw some fucking shots.
This fight is utter rubbish so far. Donaire is overrated and Nishioka old and reluctant. Dull, dull, dull.

The game plan appears to be "I just want to last the 12 rounds."
Nishioka is punching from the backseat and as an after thought. The left of Donaire has already effected him and Donaire hasn't even landed it
Nishioka just seems to be trying to survive, so far he looks like anything but a Pro fighter.Quote:

When a ref is telling a fighter to box you know the fight sucks, so disappointing considering what we just witnessed. But not Donaire's fault it takes two to tango.
I have it 4-0 in favor of Dos Equis so far..clear cut
What a let down after the last fight. You've got to feel sorry for Donaire. He needs to put on a great performance but Nishioka just doesn't want to know. Hopefully Donaire manages to knock the fucker out.
THis is a terrible fight, Donaire needs to be matched up properly for a change he doesn't lead well.
