Brandon Rios - Mike Alvarado 2

[Tam Seddon]

I've seen on boxingscene that this fight has been confirmed. I loved the first fight, no doubt it was one of my favourites on 2012. It was an all out war that could have gone either way of Alvarado didn't get caught.

Who do you think will win the rematch? I think if Alvardo could make adjustments he could have a chance in the rematch, had a good start in the fight and he was constantly snapping Rios head back. These two threw so many punches, and a lot of them were scoring shots. Does anybody think Alvarado has a chance in the rematch or does anybody think he will get stopped again?

If I remember the stoppage was a tiny bit premature, but Rios was no doubt catching up to Alvarado in the end. Rios was looking for a Pacquiao showdown and this has fallen through now, Marquez isn't interested in a Rios showdown at the movement, as he is trying to secure the fifth fight in Mexico which will secure Marquez a large pay cheque if he is going to retire soon.

I wouldn't mind seeing Rios and Alvardo fight again but what i'd really like to see is Rios vs. that dick wipe Broner.

I think it's a likely fight in the future, but Broner said he's going to fight at 135 for a while because he can make the weight comfortably, he wants to clean up the division and he's still young. I don't see Rios going back to 135 as he struggles to make the weight and he needs to get in more fights and adjust properly to 140.
