I'm in for this fight. Props to Marquez for choosing Alvarado but I think it's a risk not worth it. At this stage of his career, I think he should've picked an easy fight to set the stage for the Pac V fight, I think he's earned it. IMO, even with all his flaws, Alvarado is still a legit fighter. With his reach and height advantage, if Alvarado jabs his way through the fight, it can give Marquez some problems. Marquez is a pure counter-puncher and he has difficulty going forward and catching backtracking jabbers. He can go for the body and set up a KO shot to the head though; he's done that before. Anyways, if I were him, I would've picked an easier fight. On the plus side, if he beats Alvarado, that's another feather on his cap, a legit one at that...
Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.
Can someone give bits and pieces of the action I'm not going to get to watch tonight?
This should be a good fight and if Marquez has slipped enough and they get into some real exchanges, it could turn out to be a great fight.
Most likely I see Alvarado's speed frustrating Marquez early as he tries to box him like Bradley did.
Alvarado should win about 4 rounds with Marquez winning 8 or possibly stopping Mike down the stretch.
Who knows exactly what Marquez has left though.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
See a workman like effort for Marquez over distance. Hopefully he'll come in more mobile and not play the inside pocket counter guy he tried with Bradley. Much of this will depend on Alvarados approach, he has decent combinations and shown movement that can trouble a guy strictly thinking himself some powerhouse. But the beating he is coming off..not just physical either. That kid put literally all heart and soul on his sleeve and Provo beat him to a pulp. Love seeing JMM return to the Forum, great history and story.
Times the main event. ?

O dear that KO was ruthless !!!!!!!!!
Alvarado is a great athlete but he is just very limited skill wise, he really didn't have anything to offer JMM and I think most people knew that going in.
Wow, you're actually calling a person of non-African descent a great athlete!!!
I'm fckin with you man. Seriously , all in good fun.
You're right though, Alvarado just didn't ( and never will) have the ring skills to beat a legend like JMM. Did anyone else think Marquez lost some of his power though down the stretch? He was still landing but not the powerful shots that mangled Mikes eye early on.
