I'm not to sure it will be a war like the first. I think Mike thought he could out muscle and out slug Rios in the first fight due to the supposed size advantage. This time I could see him getting behind his jab and working from the outside where he would have a major advantage, remember he was winning a few rounds and looked good in the first fight when he boxed from range.
The main issue is, can Mike keep Rios off him for 12 hard rounds? I personally see Mike winning the first half of the fight until he tires and the Brandon will come on strong and start to wear him down and eventually finishing him late. That or a big UD for mike.
Very nice. See if it can top Prod/Tim's fight....these guys aren't going to have long careers, man. Alvarado's been in some wars too, and they want Rios to maybe fight Pac after this? not good.
If Rios KO's Alvarado again that would be an amazing fight imo.
Good stuff. Good to see HBO do something to try and promote this fight. The first was an all out war and I've got a feeling it'll be the same for this one.
Bam Bam comes across as one cool dude.
Can't wait for this fight.
Yeah, not that it needs much promotion though. The first fight alone is enough. I'm sure this will be one of the most viewed free cards on premium channels in regards to boxing in 2013.

Didn't he allegedly get into some type of altercation where a knife was pulled on him? I remember reading about that, that's what I was thinking about when I saw his scar.
Wow I missed that. He been to jail too hasn't he? Living that hard life.
What's that nasty scar on Mike's face?
