All things considered, think he was as prepared as he was capable of. You could see it in lead up, on the edge almost...used up.

Agreed probably why the crowd was booing him they paid their good money to go see a fight and it was clear from round one he shouldn't have even been in the ring

[Beanflicker]

They had every right to boo, he cheated everyone.

No more than some network diva carries a guy or timing out rounds in a howcase. Ya don't dog a guy when you SEE he is shot to bits and has nothing, Jeezus fookin A man. Warriors..the lot of us eh.

[Hulk]

Well that was a dud.


Alvarado is a bad ass, but also a con man and criminal.


He conned HBO and fans tonight. He saw 4 fingers alright...

It's one thing to lose, it's another to come unprepared and not put in a genuine effort to win. If a guy comes in shape and wants to win, and gets caught and KO'd in the first round, shit happens. But for a guy to come unprepared and put in a non-performance like that in front of a home-town crowd is just disgraceful. It should be a career ender.

I'm a pothead and I was booing him. Although to be fair I'm not classy either. That wasn't the fight I was expecting. That wasn't Vazquez-Marquez 3, it was V-M 4.

[Beanflicker]

One of the biggest non-performances I can remember in the last few years from a supposed elite fighter. Had absolutely no idea what to do in there, stood there like a punching bag until the ringside doctor took pity on him. Alvarez is a boxing tragedy waiting to happen, he's so god damn robotic in there and takes so much punishment every fight.

Thank god they stopped it, that could have easily ended up being another Magomedov situation.

Talk about a paycheck fight! What a disgraceful performance by a fighter who admitted he wasn't "Fully Prepared" for the fight, give me a break! You tell from the first minute he didn't really want to fight, just was there to get a paycheck! Time to hang-em up.

Yes, I admittedly picked Alvarado. In no way did I expect him to perform like that. Rios looked good, he wasn't flabby as he has been lately. He obviously trained and took it seriously. He also put together several coherent sentences without a swear every other word. I thought he was gone, sad to see Mike lose but glad to see Rios still has an intact brain. Maybe Floyd will pick Rios next, that would be an easy one for Floyd.

“Easy and brutal TKO win for Rios. Alvarado’s team is in disarray. He has legal issues. He may be shot. And he has looked terrible in training.”

My prediction. Finally broke my string of bad ones.

[SlimTrae]

Sorry to hear Alavarado didn't show. Thanks for the blow-by-blow commentary. Seems a concensus: Alvarado is done.
