Donaire-Nishioka & Rios-Alvarado MY weigh in pics & videos (Also RJJ)

Just got back from the weigh in pretty big crowd that came out.

I was surprised by the amount of Asian media and fans that actually made it out.
A lot of Japanese media there for Nishioka even had their own booth set up.

Also the Philipine media and fans always very supportive of their fighters.

Managed to get a few shots using my phone.

I noticed Nishioka started drinking some sort of tea right after the weigh in as well as pedialyte (electrolyte drink). Nonito looked to be drinking lots of water right away.
Both guys looked good and ready to go.

Nonito Donaire 121.6 vs. Toshiaki Nishioka 121.8

I have to be honest here both Alvarado & Rios looked a bit drained.
I should point out that when Rios stepped on the scale I'm gonna say he literally stepped on it for like 2 seconds and immidiately got off. I was surprised that no one in Alvarados side said anything I mean if you blinked you missed it.


Mike Alvarado 139.8 vs. Brandon Rios 140

I also managed to get a few shots for my collection... :cool:


So I'm sitting down right and I notice Noshiokas team come in with uniform.
But someone doesn't really fit in the group.
I get a better look and it's Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez.

This is Toshiaki Nishioka and me after the weigh in. His translator wasn't around but I wanted to ask him how he feels about his fights vs. Veeraphol and since he is retired he won't be able to try and avenge his only loses.

Last and def not least. We're in the lobby talking and who walks in the one and only Ya'll musta forgot! Roy Jones Jr.

Ever wondered what kind of music RJJ listens to?

Hit play and find out.

Quick interview of Bam Bam Rios I did today as he waited to jump on the scale.

Music, food and about his nickname and how he got it...

Great shots my historian friend. The one they put on BS made Donaire looked flabby. Your shots beg to differ.

Thanks...

Flabby?
Far from it, he looked in outstanding shape.

Nishioka is chiseled as well.

Like Gatti/Gomache. Alvarado and Rios are probably Jr Mids lol

Great stuff man.

I have to agree I have no idea how either one does it...

I mean I'm guessing here but I think both guys walk around 170 or so average... How they get down to 140 is nuts.

I just finished my second beer and felt the need to add an ed:rolleyes:

I'm taking Nishioka in this one. Arum has wasted Donaire. This guy should be fighting every six months.

Good stuff there Robert. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for taking the time to view and comment....

Pinoy crowd was nuts and came out full on to support.
A friend told me that fellow Pinoy-American actor Rob Schnider was seen there with Nonito, thought that was cool.

I tried to get a hold of Nonito but the major media outlets wouldn't let go of him. :/
Maybe next time I'll have better luck.

Great stuff! Keep up the good work.

I don't like that Cali uses those digital scales, for that very reason that they can quickly jump off. With the old beam scales, they are forced to stand there until they get the proper weight.



BTW, it's great to see your eyes. ;D

Are you going to the fights?

Thanks Diane. Means a lot to have your support. ;)

Didn't think about the scale and you bring up a very good point on that...
I'm serious he got on and off in like 2 seconds and quickly put on his shorts.

I was too lazy to put on my contacts so I just left my glasses on ;)
Since the cold season is kicking in I'm letting my beard grow out a la "Perro" Angulo ;D

I was offered a ticket but turned it down...

It's my mothers bday tomorrow so we'll be celebrating it tomorrow night.

Thought about this post for a bit because I did not want to come across as kissing a moderators ass but after another draw I said fuck it.

I'm going to be 55 next year Mick and its nice to know that much younger men like yourself are so interested in boxing history and all things derived from it.

Cheers

Think nothing of it IamInuit we are all fans.
The fact that I'm a MOD here just means Saddo trusted me to keep on eye on this place.

But I'm just another person here passionate for the sport.
Well I guess we haven't crossed paths enough here so here goes.

My dad and uncles got me into boxing at very young age.
I've been around boxing since I can remember.

The first fight I attended was Jorge Paez vs. Noe Gonzalez in '86 I was 5 so I really don't remember much of it but bits and pieces.

Since then through my own will and desire of the sport I've met and have attended some great events. I've done a lot of research and a lot of reading.
I hope to one day take all of this and creat my own "brand" within the boxing world.
I write a lot about what I've seen at events and just topics here and there.

Not sure if you have seen this or not but here are several things you can look at to get a better feel of who I am as a fan of the sport and thank you for keeping the tradition going because I've learned a lot from posters such as yourself. These are just some don't want to bombard you with a bunch of stuff. I also have lot's of Ring Side threads from all the fights I've been to.

Good job Mick. Rios and Garcia came off more likeable than they usually do.

Still hope Alvardo whips him tomorrow tho.

Roy was the nice guy he always is.

Honestly I've always mentioned that to my friends.

I've noticed that compared to a lot of boxers I have bigger hands & knuckles compared to them. I've even gone and looked at every pic I have with a boxer and my hands are bigger compared to them.

Yeah Rios was pretty chill when I asked him if I could ask him a few questions on camera he was like "Yeah but you gotta get close to me and sit here" I guess he didn't want commotion around him... He was all laughs and joking around.

RJJ same thing man, cool as hell took pictures with fans.

Denied access to all these things. No worries. I already knew you are solid.

Top stuff bud, keep it coming, all the best to ya mum too pal !!

Top notch insight bud, per norm! You always have a way of bringing it right into the living room on here and its a much appreciated perspective. Great shots, dude you look like you are bulking up. As solid a card as they come but I can't help but bet Rios will be pushing middleweight ;D. Nishioka looks as ripped as a cheese grader. Lets hope for some fireworks indeed

Quality stuff!

They actually looked like they enjoyed your company too! ;D

I must admit, if that was me I'd have made my first beeline towards the brunette standing behind the scales, but I would have got around to talking to the boxers too.

Good stuff CMM, and a couple of really good fights for tonight.

Well done Mick u r a very lucky fellow....would love to rub shoulders with any of them boxers especially Roy....love the picks & the write up and will be looking forward to the fights and If you are going would like your insight to the big night...spk soon fella and I am F.I.N.E

It sucks to know that no network picked this up as it really is 2 very good matchups...
On line stream. :)

Even though you are a massive wanker - @CutMeMick - you do these little fans interviews really well without coming across as nerdy stalker. Nice.

(although get the fucking shades back on you cunt)
