    Rios will always be Rios, slow but dangerous for twelve rounds.

        Rios seems mentally tough and I think he will come back as strong as ever. With his fighting style I don't think he will get much better than he is now. Alvarado is just as tough and I would pick Alvarado to win a rematch. Alvarado is at an age when most fighters start to go down hill slowly but surely even if they stay in shape and take good care of themselves. Maybe in two years the much younger Rios could beat Alvarado.

          It don't matter, Alvarado know's he has to stick and move to win. Mike's gonna beat his more convincingly next time around.

            Personally I think he's fine right now. He didn't get beat up or destroyed so his mentality and courage are in tact. This was not one of those fights that ruin a man.

              with memo on his team, he'll definitely come back stronger because of the power pellets

                I don't know. Some fighters take their first loss and come back stronger, work harder. To me Rios doesn't seem like one of those guys. He seems like a guy that got a lot of his confidence from being unbeaten.
                I could see him tightening up in close fights from now on trying to make something happen.
                Either way this guy needs to have a CAT scan pronto. Brain damage has to be settling in after those two wars. Guy is slurring like a 40 year old Mosley. At this rate he is well on his way to dementia by 40.

                  If Rios jabs his way in like he should have from rounds 7-10 he'll win the rubber match 116-112.

                    yes i think if he spends more time with heredia taking his "supplements" he'll come back being more physically stronger and looking more ripped...he only had heredia for like 8 weeks..
