Thats great and Im not saying they arn't skilled boxers but despite all that they still put on some of the most boring ***ing boxing matches ever! They make Floyd mayweather look like Jake Lamotta.

I thought it was Rios' fight to lose going in to the championship rounds. Alvarado was glancing at his corner, seemed to be hurt by every shot Rios landed, and - yes, gotta concede this one to Rios - was often running.
However, Alvarado dug deep. He dug deep and threw big shots the last 3 rounds, and moved when not throwing. He dug deep and gave his all the last 3 rounds, winning all 3 of them in my book.
Rios on the other hand, despite looking far stronger, seemed to switch off entirely. He was content to just walk forward and take the shots, grinning back, occasionally bothering to let his hands go and almost always at the wrong moments.
You lost, kid, and you should look back and understand why if you have hopes of winning the rubber match. Alvarado looked long and hard at the 1st fight and fixed a whole lot of his mistakes (much to his credit - I didn't think he had it in him to be honest). He'll win the rubber match if Rios doesn't make the same level of adjustment - and these words indicate otherwise. Let's hope Robert Garcia isn't so complacent if you're a Rios fan.

Faaack Brandon... now I have to get you out of my favourites list again...
It looked to me like Rios accepted the fact that he was losing in the last three rounds.
Alvarado did what he said he would do and Rios had no plan b.
Crappy preparation from Garcia, he could have forseen this.
Ah well great fights ahead so who´s complaining?

Holy moly... what, now we gotta deal with Damaged Dome Rios going thru the Khan Syndrome? Man, you lost. Get over it. What a whiner. One redeeming thing though, as many head shots as that plodder took in part II, he's probably getting KOd in part III.
