will rios vs alvarado be the war that we expect ?

[Ido]

I have Maidana vs Karass as fight of the year so far.

Lets see how this one plays out.

[HughJass]

yeah it was good fight for maidana i think this fight could be more brutal

[Southpawology]

Everyone needs to tell a friend to tell a friend about this fight, treat it like a big PPV.

I was so hype for Gonzales vs De Leon and i actually believe this would be a FOTY and the fights actually sucks.!! i hope Rios vs Alvarado dont dissapoint me.!!

[HughJass]

alvarado looks huge man i think bam bam might struggle for the first few rounds

[ElBossHogg™]

Rios will stop him late.

Why?

Rios has way better defense then Alvardo, Alvardo just gritts his fights out, every fight he in a war no matter what. Rios make you think he in a war but he really is not, he nice with his inside work, he dodge like 80% of the punches thrown at him.

Where Alvarado eats them flush.

yeah hes smart but hes drawn into a brawl to easy imo he will win but it will be tough work the first few rounds

I think there is a good chance Alvarado will use his superior boxing ability to avoid a tear up.

He can either box and can comfortably almost guaranteed come out with the win or he can make it hard on himself. I don't think hes going to fight to Rios strength and pretty much the only way he knows how, hes better than that.

Alvarado isn't the one trick pony people think he is.

Excellent analysis.

Alvarado can be a decent boxer if he wants to, or he can brawl. Rios, on the other hand has no choice but to brawl, because that's all he is accustomed to doing.

Alvarado could box to a 12 round decision or beat Rios up over 5, but my point is that he has a choice, unlike Bum Bum.

there is no way in hell mike alvarado boxes for 12 rounds.

rios is available to be hit. throughout his entire career alvarado has been conditioned to believe that he can end fights and stop opponents if they're available to be hit.

he won't pass up the opportunities rios' style affords him. not for 12 rounds. eventually he'll get a taste of how easy it is to hit rios, and he won't be able to resist opening up.


bump the thread if i'm wrong. alvarado doesn't appear to me to have temperament needed to stay disciplined with another aggressor by nature

he has very underrated defense he keeps a high guard and catches alot of shots on his gloves
