Ruslan really pushed the issue on him also so if he was only a little lacking in the gas department Ruslan made him use it all the much faster.
Really good performance he did exactly what he wanted to do.
If you have not heard, Alvarado quit on his stool I believe at the start of the tenth round. He was knocked down twice and got the hell beat out of him. The Russian came into the ring weighing 148 pounds so he is not a big 140 pounder and can stay at that weight with no problem. Alvarado weighed 157 pounds coming into the ring so he probably should move up in weight.
He was like 20 pounds rehydrated against Rios 2

Both of these guys should be at 147 but I understand Alvarado wanting to keep his belt.
If Ruslan wins, I wonder if he would fight Golden Boy's 140 fighters. Or does he drop the belt and return to 147.
He wanted to keep his belt, so he took whatever consequence came with that. Hopefully he moves up after this, it's clear he belongs at 147.
i figured as much. guys work hard to attain a belt, it's only natural to want to defend it. he rehydrated to like 161 versus rios from 140, so win, lose, or draw he should probably move up.
the dummy wanted this fight at 140. I told u dudes he's too big for the weight class, some of u said he was chubby in recent photos. granted he didn't look so bad when he was just standing at the weigh in as opposed to drinking.

I've been saying since the first fight him and rios have no business at 140. Idk why they kill themselves
I guess we gonna have people posting "Ruslan drained alvarado" saturday night.
There shouldn't be, for one Alvarado is the champ at the weight and the other thing is Ruslan doesn't make the weight easily himself. He wants to fight at 147.
I think Mike's going to win anyway.
