I'm looking forward to this card, no picks from me but the matchmaker should get a pat on the back. I really respect Donaire, he fights them all.

Donaire/Rios. Can't wait for these fights.

Am gutted that this does not seem to be on boxnation or Sky. Donaire / Nishioka could be a real classic and hopefully Rios gets battered though I can't see Alvarado being the one to do it.

Agreed on both counts. Alvarado has rice paper instead of skin and may start to bleed on the ring walk.

A great weekend of action! Friday card on Showtime as well, minus the J Taylor fight thankfully. Donaire has looked a bit soft to me and really getting ahead of himself, with the loading up and the multiple division talk. If he approaches Nishioka the way he did Vazquez I think he's kept off rythem and losses. Good to see Rios admit the obvious and finally move up vs a live Alvarado. Wouldn't suprise me if he's near 150 + when the bell rings and I would love to see Mike whip him but don't think he has the backfoot and one punch pop to do it but it'll be fun stuff trying.
