The Official Mike "Mile High" Alvarado vs. Brandon "Bam Bam" Rios Fight Thread

[Evil Abed]

We can compare to Rios's prior fights.

[Kenny Blankenship]

Rios has failed to make the 135 lb limit in something like his last 2 or 3 fights.

Those that say he was draining to make 135 need to realize that Rios will need to drain to make 140 as well. The guy came in 3-4 lbs overweight in his last few fights after killing himself to make the limit. He will still struggle to make 140 and I think there's at least a 50% chance he doesn't make it, if not more.

I'll take the guy that's more comfortable at the weight in Alvarado over a guy who consistently fails to make weight. They seem to be about even in the skill department.

now that i know this fight is just 10 rounds idk who to pick i was leaning on alvarado to pull out a stoppage or a ko in the champion rounds somewhere in the 10-12th

but if the fight is only 10 rounds i can see rios winnin a UD

Boxrec has it listed as a 12 rounder

People saying that Rios' going up to 140, must realize that this doesn't guarantee that it's better for him, since his style is to pressure having the weight advantage over smaller guys at 135 was better for him but at 140 guys are as big as him or even bigger which doesn't give him any advantage whatsoever and facing a guy that pressures like Alvarado does doesn't do him any favors. That being said I give a slight edge to Alvarado.

Strength vs Strength

This fight on paper looks like a barn burner. I really hoping it is

theres an article somewhere and threads somewhere in here that confirm it (ill try and look it up for you)




but i feel brandon can take this if he bring the pressure early both are slow starters imo

50-50 fight, huge FOTY potential, now this is a real fight. No weight draining or boring clinch fests here.

I got BAM BAM by way of KO and huge WAR!
