Alvarado IMO can box better than he did the first time around , he got drawn into a war, which was no doubt entertaining but that type of fight was more suited for Rios hence why he won the fight.

If Alvarado can box more he will have a better chance of winning, but I think it will just turn into another war with Rios winning another stoppage victory. Alvarado does have to not get involved as much on the inside though if he wants to take rounds.
Alvarado was done, the ref stopped it just before Rios was going to knock him out:



Good stoppage, Alvarado, lives to fight another day and gets a rematch.
