He gave an incredible effort vs Alvarado.
He's capable of beating a lot guys at 140.
He came to fight and he came to win, but got outgunned.

He needs a break and I hope to see him again.
It was great, he fought incredible off the ropes... If he could of slipped about 15% more of the incoming punches, and given maybe 10% more back it couldve been a different outcome... Loved when he came back with 4-5-6-7 punches in a row.
^ was awesome
So what you're saying is, that he's a cutie pie? :rofl:
slick caucasian (or whatever he might be according to the US census. who cares, honestly.)
did any of you guys see the HBO feed?
i watched a TR *river* with brian kenny doing the blow by blow and it was good. i'm always interested to see what the HBO guys think of the fights/fighters because i'm so much more familiar with their tendencies.

his issue will be just that: he'll get outgunned
guys bring more to the table than he does physically at the top of the game. they're faster, bigger punchers, and their faces will hold up.
harrerra has some nice skills // cuteness, but i think they;re only enough to prolong a beating and not enough coupled with his physical inabilities to win him a fight
that being said i would like to see him back on a ppv undercard
that was a great fight.
they ought to move alvarado quickly as well. he's not going do develop into a craftsman, and he's got the chin, strength, engine, and power to be a very fun pressure oriented toughster
Definitely made me a fan. I think he could've beat Alvarado if he stayed boxing but instead it felt like he was trying to prove a point that he could fight off the ropes.
Since everyone is talking about all these matchups, how about:
Herrera vs Rios
Make it happen, get a poll started. I got Herrera unless he decides to fight on the ropes again.
He put on a great show, but he lost the fight because of his piss poor gameplan. He wanted to go toe to toe which a much stronger man to prove a point and his body could only take so much before slowing. A little more movement and maybe being a little less brave he could of school alvarado like he did in the 2nd round.

definitely, if it was a lil bit more competitive it could've been a FOTY candidate.
He made me a fan, I really liked his Morales like instinct of firing back as soon as he got caught

Herrera looked damn good against Alvarado at times, Mike was just too much. I liked how he fought off the ropes. I'd pick him to beat a lot of guys at 140.
