Brandon Rios - Mike Alvarado 2

[p4pking]

Obviously will be a great watch, but I can't see any other result happening. Alvarado looked great in spots and landed anything he wanted the first time, but the battle of attrition was going against him in a big way from quite early on imo. These two guys are pretty well as expected each time out. Although Alvarado has more dimension he is chinny and can't resist trading, which is a really bad thing if you're fighting someone like Rios.

I think Alvarado is going to fight smarter and box more and will take it to 12, only to get robbed....

I don't know if Bob Arum is a genius for this fight or an idiot!!!!
This no doubt is a good match up(pending what they left in the ring the first time).

Genius: Action packed fight. If Rios wins, the fans will love him even more. If Alvarado wins in a slugfest, we will have a 3rd fight for sure. ALL GOOD MONEY!!!

Idiot: Rios should be fighting Bradley this time. Arum has clearly shown, he have no real interest in making Bradley a superstar. Bradley needs to learn how to promote himself. It should be a double header with Rios vs Bradley and Alvarado vs Peterson.

Bradley is apparently in negotiations to fight Gamboa and Mayweather.

I'm not bothered how much of a cunt Rios is, he's great to watch in the ring. Boxing could do with another dozen guys who are total arseholes outside the ring but all-action in it. When I'm watching my fights I want to be entertained and that's what you get with Rios.

There are people like Froch that I don't like and want to see lose but I love watching their fights because you know what you're going to get. Rios may be a tit but he brings excitement.

I agree, and it's one of those fights you have to watch.

Alvarado would have to fight very differently to win; he throws too many arm punches to fight and win a war of attrition with Rios. Most likely, even if he tries to box in a rematch, Rios, kmnowing he can walk through the punches, will walk him down and stop him.

Yep. Rios will keep on coming and Alvarez sooner or later will revert back to brawling and get stopped again.

[Fenster]

Makes perfect sense, it was an undercard fight last time and is now main event material. It only has to be half as good to be a blinder. Think Rios will crack him faster this time

[Master]

History says Rios wins only quicker.

Looking forward to this fight

I see it being a very similar slugfest with Rios prevailing again
