WTF??? Rios already looks like a fat ass at 140! He's gonna look like Chris Arreola at 147, Alvarado would at least look healthy and fit at welterweight. I can't wait till Alvarado fuks Rios up in the trilogy after Pac destroys him..

HBO boxing after dark sounds better!

RIP Rios, going to be just like the Margaritto beating.

I thought it was Alvarado since last month, oh well good fight and a perfect fit for Pac. Rios doesn't back down, face first , can hit and take a punch.

Not even remotely interested in this fight. Alvardo would of been a much better option imo.
