Comments Thread For: Weights: Donaire vs. Nishioka, Rios vs. Alvarado

[Longjab10]

Alvarado got this, late round KO! With multiple KD's for both. Damn I'm excited for this!

Somebody needs to get Rios on a resistance program. Dude looks skinny fat. There's no way he should be looking as drained as he is to make these weights with a flabby mid section. He needs to put on some muscle if he's gonna keep moving up in weight or else he's just gonna be chubby.

If he puts on muscle he won't make the weight. That's what I think is happening here.

Rios simply doesn't have a classic boxer's physique. Neither did Juan Diaz or Kelly Pavlik, but it didn't stop them fighting at a high level and giving the fans tremendous **** for their buck.

I respect Rios isn't ****-talking this time around. Hopefully that's a sign of growing maturity because he's come off as nothing but an ******* for years now. Should be a great fight. Whose the ref?

[Optimistic]

Rios looks better than I thought he would.

Gonna be a great War.

Can't wait.

The other thing I'll say about Rios is he actually managed to crack a smile at the weigh-in this time around. The skin pigmentation is far better than against Abril and Murray.... As positive as the signs are, you've only gotta look across to Alvarado to see why there are no sure things in this fight. Mile High looks very ready... Can't wait!

I don't think it would be a bad idea if he plans on making a run at 147 in the future

Whose the ref?

I'd like to know as well

Lets get this right. He's training the muscles off?

I thought Nishioka looked fine. In good shape.

They all look good.

Me too. Fighters always look drawn at at the weigh in until they rehydrate.

rios looked better then i expected.
