On Wednesday afternoon, the Top Rank Gym in Las Vegas, Nevada played host to a media day ahead of the highly-anticipated rematch between Brandon Rios (31-0, 23 KO’s) and Mike Alvarado (33-1, 23 KO’s).
Rios-Alvarado II takes place this Saturday night from the Mandalay Bay Events Center, with HBO televising the proceedings.
Also on the card, Columbian puncher Breidis Prescott (26-4, 20 KO’s) will face off with late replacement Terence Crawford (19-0, 15 KO’s) in an intriguing junior welterweight attraction while 2012 Olympian Jose Ramirez (1-0, 1 KO) will see action off TV.
