A Rios rematch ?? well they are saying that it wont be inmediate this time so any other ideas ?
A Matthysse fight against any of the two ( rios or alvarado ) would be awesome IMO.
Of course Danny and Khan are in there too ... the 140 pound division rocks if any of this names fight each other.
After 2 brutal fights with Brandon, I'd like to see Mike get a soft touch before he goes back in the lion's den of 140.
You are right on point. I think both guys are going to get soft touches and that is also how Arum operates. Guys with momentum he tend to set up a lot of soft fights in between while he lines up a marquee match up with one of the top guys.
Unless big money fights for Alvarado shows up for Alvarado since JMM is still looking for a dance partner and is ready to retire and Pac is looking to fill in a fighter for a September date.
Alvarado should fight Pac or Prov..I truly believe had Rios won he would have got Pac..So let Alvarado collect those spoils..If Alvarado fights Pac,let Rios fight Prov to see who moves forward towards big fights..Rios Prov Pac Alvarado and Marquez Bradley makes the most sense tbh...
Rios will fight Pac....Bradley will fight Marquez...as for Alvarado...he should fight Provo but this is Arum we're talking about...so I think they'll dig Zab up from the grave for the(I stopped counting long time ago) whatever time after Danny bury him again and feed him to Alvarado..thats what I think will happen
I would postpone the Rios rematch if I was Mike and cherry pick a few small brawlers like Provodnikov, Matthysse etc then call out Khan and Bradley before rematching Rios. I think Rios has finally been given the wake up call he needed to improve his boxing skills and I expect him to come back strong in his next fight so I wouldn't agree to rematch him straight away.
Alvarado/Bradley is a Main Event fight. I don't think Bradley would ever fight on a Pac undercard after he "officially" beat him.
Honestly I hope Marquez/Pac 5 never happens (for Pac's sake). Can you imagine if Marquez hit Pac with the same punch he knocked him out with? Pac was out for a couple minutes, I don't think he wakes up if he gets hit with the same punch again.
Yeah that's true, good points.
I don't want to see a 5th either but I think the chances are it will happen.
But I think If they could pull that card together on a Mexican Holiday I honestly think it could rival Mayweather-De La Hoya.
Alvardo-Bradley makes sense.
On the undercard of Pacquaio-Marquez 5 with Rios-Ruslan on the card too.
I said in another thread that's the kind of card that would be insane numbers In September on a Mexican Holiday.
If Arum is serious about competing with Mayweather's card in September then that is the card that will do it.
Rios will probably fight Ruslan since they both are coming from a loss.
Alvarado might get to fight Gamboa
JMM is gonna fight Bradley
Pac has no dance partner
wtf...gamboa just fought at 130...
id like to see him fight jmm. i think it could play out like the katsidis fight with alvarado scoring a kd with one of those right hands and jmm getting up to outbox him.. business as usual.
Alvarado vs Gamboa ? really ? i mean it would be awesome but i just dont think it will happen... at least not soon.
A fight against Bradley would be pretty good... i think bradley boxes either him or rios .. just saying.
I think ti would be possible, gamboa's next fight is at 135 and wanted to fight bradley at 140 but bradley wouldnt come down. I could see it
