Comments Thread For: Rios: Mike Alvarado Will Have To Kill Me To Win

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

A fight that has been highly anticipated by the boxing community if finally upon as Bam Bam Brandon Rios will take on Mike Alvarado in a Junior Welterweight clash at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA this Saturday night.

Rios has been plagued with weight issues as he failed to make the Lightweight limit of 135 pounds in his last two fights. His performances were hindered due to the weight struggles but now he’s finally moving up to a new weight class and he assures the weight will not be an issue inside or outside the ring.

Is this because Arum/top rank wont let him lose ala Abril

[Young Money]

He would have to kill him because there's no way in hell Garcia would stop the fight

Interested to see who's going to ref this fight. Whoever it is is going to have a cool eye on it and let these dudes go to war. Steve Smoger would be ideal, he lets guys fight.

Rios' has won me as a fan since the Acosta fight but this is going to be a bad ass fight.I believe in his will he's a tough SOB and has proved it MANY times.New start, new division, im looking forward to a late KO.

..and that's what scares me.Garcia better not ruin another fighter if he's already hurt.

Alvarado won't have to. Fcuk that BS, Rios is DOA on the scales...

[Motofan]

No, actually he just has to stop you. You have already been badly outclassed and given a gift so odds are that may happen again.

The Racket Squad: Reflections of Fortune

In an all out war, I subscribe to the issue of character as the defining factor in selecting a victor.

Gatti and Ward were both men of distinct honor at the time of their clashes.
The triliogy represents each man's heart and soul with accuracy.

When thinking of Rios I primarily think of his 'performance' during the Margaritio/Pac '24/7' programs.

Brandon played the fool to the even bigger fool and cheat, Tony.
He would mock the disease that has slowly decayed the abilities of Freddie
Roach.
He mocked Pacquiao with insults that had no place in or out of any prize ring.
And then came the Abril controversy.
In many books, Rios has already suffered his initial loss.

In essence, Brandon is a rather unpleasant bully.

Mike Alvarado will challange the bully in Rios and may stop him cold.
The equal slugger and the better man should rise to the occasion of character on Saturday evening.
That man is Mike Alvarado.
