Should be a good fight between rios alvarado

but for the philipino phony keed ducking el chacal

no respect for nonito till he fights guillermo rigondeaux

[olly1990]

Good Fight

But im surprised arum is risking his two unbeaten fighters against each other, coz if rios loses where does he go ? he cant make lightweight and he wont get a shot against any goldenboy fighters in the division, very risky fight.

you cant protect them forever. Every promoter has to make that decision eventually to test their fighters, to find out can he become the next champ for reals.

If they end up fighting in a phonebooth trading uppercuts Rios will find himself laying on his back staring up at the lights.

Riding with Mike.

But it can go either way and can end at anytime.

Money says Rios still has issues making 140.

I will lose all respect for Rios if he doesn't make weight again.

Im with Phantom on this one. Rios MIGHT make the weight but I don't think it's gonna be a healthy weight, he still looked drained at 139. With that said don't be surprised if he misses it again.

Im taking bets on this fight. I got 50M on Alvarado, shoot me a PM if interested.

i'm giving the edge to rios

Would Robert Garcia work the corners for both Rios and Donaire on the same night? It seems like that would be a bit risky to have two of your main guys training at the same time and both fighting on the same night. Does Garcia have an understudy that would be in the Donaire corner?
