Rios vs. Alvarado III

**GAME** · 01-24-2015 11:38 PM

2nd week in a row I can't decide who will win

In trilogy's the winner of the second fight usually wins the 3rd & I'd go along with that here as Alvarado is the better boxer and can school rios but after the trashing from provodnikov he isn't the same fighter. Add to that his problems out the ring and I find myself leaning towards rios. He's fresher & is willing to go deep into the trenches. Not sure mike is anymore, recently he seems like the guy who trying to avoid a scrap. Looking forward to it

Damn what's up with the Alvarado outside the ring stuff. I haven't heard anything yet. I know he was very depressed about the prod and jmm losses I didn't know he was having issues now. Could someone fill me in. Both of these guys are looking at this as a must win which should make it a good fight unless Alvarado is falling apart

Boxer Mike Alvarado charged with weapons offense

He was basically spared jail so this fight could go ahead. He's already a convicted felon so he can't be in possession of a firearm.He knows what's waiting for him tomorrow so he can't be completely focused on this fight & even if he is I think he's abit shopworn after so many back to back wars with no break. It's a good result to go 12 & exchange knockdowns with marquez but the wars with Provo, 2 with rios, Herrera and Prescott is enough to burn most guys out

I hope I'm wrong cuz I like mike & will be cheering him on. Bam bam is a warrior who will always be applying the pressure. He walked through pacs punches for 12 and he's gonna bring it here

Thanks for that. Very disappointed to see Mike involved with this. What the hell is he going about with a gun for. Is he trying to keep a thug rep. He could afford to hire body guards if he's worried about someone. Most states have mandatory minimum sentences for felons carrying a firearm which is a felony in itself. I've always thought Mike was a decent guy in all the interviews I've seen him do. I'm not saying this makes him bad overall just disappointed to see he made such a bad decision. At least he didn't get shot up like we've been seeing happen lately.
