Mike Alvarado is about 148 right now.

I hope Alvarado shuts Rios up and knocks his ass out.So do I. Time for this no-talent clown to go away.

Can't wait to see who the judges are. Thinking a bout putting good money on this fight

I like both..... But Rios is taking this one.....

Well Alvarado is always in good shape and Rios' style is as simple as it gets so Im not worried about how many rounds he spars. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Crystina Poncher confirmed that this is the norm for his camps and they do less sparring to keep him fresh for the fight. still not par for the course which is what my reply referred to

Whatdo you think is better? personally between 50-75 rounds of sparring should be fine for top level guys if you need more you can adjust especially if you have a difficult style you're facing anything over 100 and IMO you risk burning out

I hope Alvarado shuts Rios up and knocks his ass out.

Wow this is great really cool to see everyone really hyped fight. I cant wait for this fight ill be rooting for alvarado

I think Rios will try to make up for past sins and make weight in shape and Alvarado should be in top condition. I think the better man will win a war but I don't know who the better man is. I hope Rios redeems himself and wins.

Crystina Poncher confirmed that this is the norm for his camps and they do less sparring to keep him fresh for the fight. I like this idea, just like Martinez. Bad enough the wars he's in already take years out of his career. No need for further damage in sparring.

no that's nothing considering most fighters spar 3 days a week and about 6-10 rounds a day for about 5 weeks thats 15 days of sparring and anywhere between 90 and 150 rounds 35 is miniscule but there's been a trend for less sparring more conditioning Crystina Poncher confirmed that this is the norm for his camps and they do less sparring to keep him fresh for the fight.

Can a person be too excited for a fight? It's to the point where if you aren't watching the fight you won't be seeing me the entire day on the 13th.

Sill a lot IMO, Sergio said in the last 24/7 he never spars more than 65 rds for any of his fights during a whole training camp. no that's nothing considering most fighters spar 3 days a week and about 6-10 rounds a day for about 5 weeks thats 15 days of sparring and anywhere between 90 and 150 rounds 35 is miniscule but there's been a trend for less sparring more conditioning

Just to confirm, this bout is scheduled for 12 rounds correct? I would hope so..i think he's big enough a name now that he's above the limited 10 rounders. And alvarado has those same exact attributes, that whats gonna make this fight so great. FOTY Yeah, they have a lot in common, including fight history.
