They say Rios-Alvarado could be next @140

I'm favoring Mile High.

Rios looked weak as hell, I was stunned at his performance, had he been 100% he would have gotten the job done before the 6 or 7th round. Rodriguez-Wolak also delivered, as a whole it was a good night of boxing. Mike Jones however disappointed.

I think he loses power and stamina fighting at 147.

He should move to 154.

I take my hat off to Murray. I knew he was over matched going into this fight and I screamed foul when I first heard the fight was made. But Murray impressed me with his heart tonight. He really did try and give it his all.

Time for Rios to step up. He needs to fight Mathysse or Maidana. Enough of this kid being protected. Let's get it on.

Mike Jones right? I think so too man, he looked a lot better in the rematch against Soto Karass.

I see Rios becoming a serious force at Jr WW, if he's that strong at LW having to kill himself to make weight, I can't imagine how strong he'll be at 140. I predict it's gonna be similar to Cotto and Ortiz's move up to 147 from 140. I got Brandon over Alvarado

respect to murray for doing all he can. didn't like rios performance that much, but i don't really care, i'm more excited to know that he is moving up to 140 now. i remember him saying he didn't have a strength and conditioning coach at one time. i'm not sure if he has one now, but i think he should get one. rios imo is going to be better and stronger at 140. bring on alvarado! what a good fight that'll be

Rios fought ok..he needs to make wt as his strength was evident in the wear'm down style he has...Alvarado would be xcellent match but he doesn't need it...Mike@ his age needs to move quick...congrats to Murray who gave his all...Jones dissapoints in his time to shine vs a very avg opponent...IBF champ is the only 1 he can beat...
