Hmm, good round one, it's hard to imagine this going 10 rounds..

**Mars_ax** · 10-14-2012 03:28 AM

Damn good fight, they could do this in a phone booth. ')

**Mars_ax** · 10-14-2012 03:34 AM

Lederman has it Alvarado 2-1 after 3.

**Mars_ax** · 10-14-2012 03:36 AM

Rios takes a good shot, I think this will come down to stamina.

**Mars_ax** · 10-14-2012 03:40 AM

Rios got pounded in the 5th round, he looks weaker.

**Mars_ax** · 10-14-2012 03:45 AM

I'll say one thing for Rios, the little fuck has heart, and there ain't no quit in him.

**Mars_ax** · 10-14-2012 03:50 AM

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.

Heart and punching power, one hell of a fight. Rios has one hell of a chin.

**outspoken** · 10-14-2012 03:55 AM

Did Alvarado just say he's still the best in his weight? lmfao

**outspoken** · 10-14-2012 03:56 AM

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

**Kirkland Laing** · 10-14-2012 04:00 AM

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.
