Anyone can look like a cute boxer against one dimensional bums like Rios and Prov but Marquez is leagues above those guys, something alvarado has never seen..

Alvarado used to be a wrestler and got a late start in boxing, therefore, boxing is second nature to him.. he has to think before making a move rather than moving instinctively.. that's the difference between natural fighters and late starters...

He got out ouboxed by Precott FFS until he pulled out a hell mary at the end..

As long as father time doesnt catch up to marquez, he's going to dissect alvarado and do a number on him..
I hear what you are saying and it makes sense but I just love Mile High Mike, always been a fan win or lose. I'm going to stick with my pick for him to win but it is with my heart, not my head. This would allow him to move up a level too with I would love to see him reach. I guess we all have boxers we feel that way about.
