Alvarado-Pacquaio in October!!!

[Tim2daresq]

i could very well see pac struggling and losing this fight...i already thought pac was slipping before the KO loss, but now i think he might come back a shadow of his former self....but i hope he proves me wrong.

If Manny comes back just the same, would he be an exception to the KO rule, or have there been others?

Manny makes Floyd look better with every move.

In other news, just got word Denver's own @MileHighMike303 has agreed to fight Manny Pacquaio in October!!!!!!

Alvarado earned payday with win over rios. Manny likely gets win in china debut. 3rd jww in a row moving up for ww manny.

[The Exception]

Mike Alvarado has 4 career fights against fighters other than cans.

He was losing on all three judges scorecards before stopping Breidis Prescott in the last round.
He went life and death with Mauricio Herrera.
He was stopped by Brandon Rios.
He won a tough fight vs. Rios in their rematch.

Four exciting fights by an average fighter.
Pacquiao picking on another junior welterweight. Let me guess, this one will be at welterweight too.

I'm conflicted by this. I like the fact that Alvarado is getting such a big opportunity and a nice pay-day, but I think he's gonna catch one mean beating.

can't think of any off the top of my head...hard to see someone coming back the same after getting ko'ed like manny did...

pac normally comes in at 150lbs on fight night now...alvarado came in at 158lbs against rios 2....so who is the bigger guy?

Well there are no other options. The choices are either Alvarado,Rios, or provondokov and out of those 3 alvarado is the correct choice he's coming off a win.

Yeah, that's why I wouldn't be shocked at all if another Roy Jones scenario played out. I'm confident for Manny, but I'm also scared to death.

Good fight...tough one for Manny coming off that KO. At 140?

No it's not, and it's not tough.

Prescott was beating Alvarado before the TKO. An average brawler like Rios knocked him out.

It's a good come back fight to get back in the mix, but I don't think it will be competitive.
