Is anyone not suprised with Alvarado beating Rios?

[Szef]

I don't get it why most of the fans and so called experts thought Rios will beat Mike, even in their first fight Alvarado showed that he's a better boxer,when he used his jab and moved on his feet he was winning it easily, he lost by his own ******ity. But it was clear he won't fight that kind of fight again,I don't know why so many people were talking he'd lose again. Rios is limited, he's fun to watch but that's it.

I'm surprised and I'm a Denver native, so you know I was pulling for Alvarado big time. I just didn't think Alvarado would stick to the game plan, which was basically move and circle around, switch southpaw to show Rios a different look (Rios also didn't really touch Mike too much when he was standing southpaw), clinch when tired or when needed (still didn't slow the fight though because it was a great fight), work the jab from the outside a lot, and throw combinations all night.

Not surprising, Rios is clearly very out-boxable.

A little. I knew he could win if he stuck to his gameplan. I just didn't think he could fight a disciplined fight for 12 rounds.

Thank goodness he abandoned that shell D he was experimenting with in the first fight.

Not in the slightest! Picked Alvarado first time around and lost but couldnt see how Rios improved so Alvarado again and sure enough rios is the same.

These two are not elite at all but they fun

It was hard for people to imagine Alvarado being able to box for 12 rds not brawl. Remember its not like Mike is a master boxer. He's just a better boxer then Rios and in the first fight he showed ability to out box him and pound him cuz u ain't gonna keep bam bam away with just boxing. Need to hit him with some thunder too.

I ain't Alvarado got more tools Rios only knows how to fight one way.

It's not SHOCKING as Rios isn't some unbeatable fighter, but I didn't think Alvarado had it in him. I mean, hell, he looked like he wasn't going to last 5-7 rounds early on in the fight. But the man pulled through.

Surprised is too strong a word for how i felt, i had Rios winning going into fight one and still thought he'd take it going into fight two despite Alvarado seeming the more dangerous of the two and the fighter with more options also (boxing) in their first battle. It was anyones going in and really even after 12 rounds that was still the case. I had Alvarado up 1 point but we need a Rubber match Yo!
