Comments Thread For: Alvarado: Let Rios Talk, I'll Show Him This is a Man's Game

Normally, Rios would be talking thrash and giving lots of interviews, but he knows he's in trouble and keeps a low profile.
I havent seen any posts about or from Rios in the last weeks @ BS.
I think he is actually scared of Alvarado and he knows he cant justify his usual excuses anymore.
I'm very surprised that Bam Bam took this fight, Mike Alvarado is a very hard nut to crack...
Alvarado by late stoppage

[rogdogx]

I have Bam Bam stopping Alvarado around the 8th or 9th round. Alvarado is a good fighter but Rios is going to be too much for him & is going to wear him down late. Rios just keeps coming & this fight will be a total war. Mike brings it too but I expect him to be bloody like in the Prescott fight. This is defitely fight of the year material here.

i think , they are equal in all aspects exept durabilty and skills and im favoring rios by a hair...

I disagree with most people, I think Rios stops Alvarado late. Alvarado is only 1" taller than Rios and everyone thinks he is so much bigger, I don't feel he is. Rios was killing himself to make 135, so he will be stronger and healthier at 140. I have watched Alvarado fight and I am just not that impressed. He was getting beaten pillar to post by Prescott and luckily pulled it out in the 10th. Props if he beats Rios but I think the only way to beat Rios is to be technical and outbox him, obviously kind of what Abril did. Alvarado won't, he will **** with him and that plays right into Bam Bam's style. I admit I am a fan of Rios so I guess I am a little biased lol. I will admit I'm wrong if Alvarado wins but I see a late stoppage for Rios.

War Bam Bam!!

this alvarado does nothing special but eat punches all day. he has good power but thats about it. Rios does everything better. they both have similar styles and that is to trade should be a fun fight and will depend who can take the others guy punch.
