Excellent performance by Alvarado. Rios showed he has a great chin, but not much else to go with that.
I though Rios looked great in the first two rounds, strong, sharp, cutting the ring off pretty well and plenty of variety in his shots. Mike's movement wore him out though. Couldn't keep his defence tight and keep chasing him at the same time.
Alvarado's workrate and discipline won him the fight. He just refused to give Rios the fight he wanted and worked his ass off all the way to the finish line. Great night for him.
