Brandon Rios vs. Mike Alvarado II - Saturday night fight/chat thread

[Mars_ax]

Good for him...he earned it hardcore. Rios better improve...because Alvarado did

Alvarado is a tough SOB to come back from being stopped in the 1st fight and winning a UD in the 2nd fight, after being hurt, and having his face all busted up.

TBH, I thought Mike was close to being done in the 2nd round after being hurt by a jab, I guess that was his wake up call.

Me too man. I honestly thought he was toast. Alvarado made adjustments though and Rios looked like he only packed for a 6-8 round trip.

Good point, Rios didn't seem to pack as much power in the 2nd half of the fight, and Alvarado was wise to get on his bike and run in the later rounds.
BTW, Lederman's card was off, especially how he scored the 11th for Alvarado, a round which I thought Rios dominated.

Yeh, In the second half of the fight he had that wandering WTF look in the corner. Garcia knew it. I don't think Alvarado ran so much as pot shot boxed on his own terms. He was clipping Rios who had no answers and needed a Amber alert on a second wind.
