    Heard this could be on the undercard of Donaire-Vasquez jr. Mile High was over 160lbs against Prescott so will have a huge size advantage. I think Brandon will find out how all the 135lbers were feeling against him when he had the size advantage. Mile High by Knockout.

      Rios will not be a force at 140 where everyone is as big/strong if not bigger/stronger than him. Rios would be a contender not a top guy, can you imagine what Maidana would do to Brandon?

        Bob Arum did mention the possibility of Brandon Rios and Mike Alvarado facing off at 140 at the post-fight presser #boxing

          Damn that fight would be a war. Both fight pretty similar. It would definitely be about who has a better chin.

          Rios certainly wouldn't walk through Mike, but I'd pick him by TKO in 9. Both would be out-boxed by Bradley and Khan, in my opinion.

          Rios, Alvarado, Maidana, all would make great fihgts with each other.

            It'd be a good undercard fight, but I think it could be a headline on HBO or SHOWTIME. Both Rios and Alvaraod have been on a lot of undercards on major fights, been crowd pleasing, and won the fights. Both are unbeaten, and coming off good wins.

              No one really talks about this but when is Rios going to fight a top threat? Acosta was a decent win, but thats about ti. I really like him, but jesus. Fight a top tier fighter. Not all these borderline guys.

                He's a better all around fighter than Maidana and he'll only get better moving up. I hope you don't think that was Brandon last night.

                  Mike can beat Maidana and Rios.

                  Straight up.

                    Definitely not the real Brandon Rios last night.
