The Official Mike "Mile High" Alvarado vs. Brandon "Bam Bam" Rios Fight Thread

the only thing that upset about the fight is the way this fight was being hyped to be a gatti/ward type fight i mean it was a great fight but just as it was getting even better the ref stopped it, i felt it coulda gone a couple more rounds who knows what the outcome coulda of been? rios coulda went on to ko alvarado instead of that pre-mature stoppage or mike coulda won id love to see a rematch :boxing: we wont see rios/matthyse or rios/garcia because of gbp vs toprank so why not make a rematch? ima fan of both fighters but rios would be dumb to fight manny pacquiao

Rios is a beast. I think he could threaten everyone at 140 with his Margarito style of fighting. He would remain dangerous even if he was outboxed, clearly. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

people dont like it that rios is still proving them wrong, still mad at the freddie roach impression rios made big deal. get over it, rios just put on a hell of a fight with alvarado.

Loved the fight, I think the ref could have let it go just a little bit longer. I don't think Rios should get thrown in with Pac though, seriously wtf is up with Top Rank. Would like to see Rios/Matthysse Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Damn good fight Rios/Alvarado was. Rios has a new fan in me.

Rios just annoys the **** out of me but this was a good victory. But with the scorecards the way they were it wouldnt have mattered that he was getting beat up cause it was already arranged for him to win. What were the scorecards?

These guys need to actually fight Donaire, its getting ridiculuos As boring a fight as it makes, it's incredible to watch. These are world class fighters, guys who are very used to winning, who are not stupid in the least. They are afraid, deathly afraid, of Donaire's power, and he usually ends up proving there's a reason for that.

For all his skill Rigo can't take a punch and Donaire will definitely hit him hard at some point.

It sucked....... That was awesome! You suck Yankees suck die.

Silva vs Bonnar!! It sucked.......

How did you all have the Donaire fight at the time of stoppage?? I had it 79-72 Donaire

silva should just stay and defend his title at 185.

in the end, its Rigo who has to prove himself worthy to face donaire not donaire. And in the present, it's donaire who is seemingly afraid of Rigo Silva by TKO!

To be honest, I was hyped on Rigo for a while, but he needs more professional experience. Put him in there with some guys that can teach him some tough lessons the hard way. Donaire may be ducking Rigo, but at this point I think he'd actually beat him. Don't get me wrong: Rigo obviously has big potential as long as his age permits. He can become special. But he spent a lot of time as an amateur and still hasn't fully adapted to the pros.

You just went from 1 excuse to another, which tells me neither one of them are justifiable. There are just too many excuses coming from Nonito in the end, its Rigo who has to prove himself worthy to face donaire not donaire.

Silva vs Bonnar!!

Styles make fights against Abril it was just a bad matchup. Against Alverado, it was obviously a great matchup. I don't care what people say about Rios he has a huge heart and is a fuking warrior. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android Yes, this.

Weren't people here saying Nishioka was the best 122 pounder in the world just a few days ago? High risk, low reward. It's the same reason Floyd didn't want to fight Margarito and felt uncomfortable whenever he was brought up near him. Margarito had a fanbase. Rigo has absolutely NONE. What does Nonito get from a Rigo win aside from praise from hardcore fans? You just went from 1 excuse to another, which tells me neither one of them are justifiable. There are just too many excuses coming from Nonito

Lol Gary Russel Jr would get KO'd. Come on man. Russel's not ready yet. he could potentially beat donaire. he's the only one who can match up with donaire talent and athleticism wise around these weight class.
