Terrific output by the lil' Rock (as in Marciano not Balboa) Alvarado rehydrating to over 18 pounds the weight class did him NO good at all. He was probably in shape at 151 but his teams failure to understand that rehydrating from 139.5 to 157.9 takes you out of condition. The body shots took their toll more than anything lil' Rock threw!
This lil' Rock has very good side to side head movement as he attacks he does need to use his knees abit more for a straight drop slip to be able to come up punching but he is learning. His side step to the right to throw his hook is predictable but no one is picking up on it yet!
Two second tier talents who's mental abilities surpass the top tier guys in todays boxing.
Congrates to both and its true that Alvarado needs to take time out and be more selective when choosing an opponent. I think a good mover who boxes well should be in his future and its time to avoid the swarmers who can punch. He's proven his willingness but its time to show some intelligence in picking opponents. He can still have exciting fights without taking punishment. Ray
