Comments Thread For: Rios vs. Alvarado II in Talks For March 16th, Staples

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

BoxingScene.com has been advised by sources at HBO that a second fight between Brandon Rios and Mike Alvarado is being planned for March 16th, possibly at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.

The first encounter in October was a slugfest in which Rios stopped Alvarado, though the bout was fought on even terms, begged for a rematch.

The first fight was awesome. Don't mind seeing a rematch.

Looks like Bradley and Pacquiao left in the dust.

Bring the fireworks to Cali once again. Can't wait! This one will reach the distance though. Alvarado won't get toe to toe from the get-go. He won't risk himself to run out of gas again. Rios by 12UD...

put Alverado in with Mathysse, and rios in with ? why the *** do these promoters have such a lock on the game to where they manipulate the product? every fight at every weight class should be able to be atleast negotiated - if it falls through oh well, but (140 pounders - Garcia / judah / Mathysse / rios / alverado / khan / peterson / marquez / bradley / and there are more - this is killing the game for real - inhouse fights - not bad, but not good either

Theres no point, Rios will win again, bull crap!

I loved the first fight and I'd love to watch a rematch, but why so soon? They should let both guys take 1 more fight before matching them up again.

I'd want to see Alvarado/Provodnikov (for WBO strap) and Rios/PEDerson (for IBF strap), then a rematch and possibly unification if both can win titles. Definitely would make it more interesting and winner will go on to way bigger and better things.

Alvarado lucked out then didn't he?
Rios must not have had a solid payday lined up

hopefully they'll assign a referee who isn't itching to stop the fight the moment someone gets rocked.
