Marquez vs Alvarado a done deal for May 17

[ElMeroChingon]

Great fight, fighting the guy Pacquiao should've fought, not Rios.

I think Alvarado will win this.

Pretty much

He didn't like the feeling of fighting Provodnikov. I can't blame him. I wouldn't want to get battered by Siberian Rocky either.

Wow ,Marquez really has made himself look bad sense he got the feeling..

[Grimgash]

WTf is there to get? Both good fighters coming off an L the winner moves on to a bigger fight. And it's on hbo not ppv plus there both warriors who make good fights so why complain. Damn

Both okay fighters at this point in time. Honestly beat Provo and you have a legit claim for a big fight.....not fight the guy he just knocked out. Whatever I've been done with the crybaby for awhile now and feel he's vastly overrated at 147....vastly.

Wow ,Marquez really has made himself look bad sense he got the feeling..

Well he probably got the feeling he'd get crushed by Provo....so he weighed his feelings and fighting Alv was a better option.

[FrenchDeLaHoya]

he def felt a certain feeling.. lol you guys are hilarious

marquez has said so much dum sht lately, its unavoidable comedy

What a weird fight. I don't get this one. Both coming off losses yes, but Marquez could have gotten just about anyone he wanted. Most fights against any top opponents are going to be risky for him at his age and with his decline, but this fight?

It looks really bad to turn down Provodnikov for the reasons we heard, yet fight Alvarado. Despite their fight, I don't think Alvarado and Provodnikov are that far apart, so Marquez is facing almost as much risk without nearly the reward Ruslan provides. Doesn't make sense to me.

Oh well, Marquez is past the point where it really matters that much who he fights. This one should have some good action, and it's a great chance for Alvarado so I'm sure he'll show up with whatever he has left.

You don't get it? Marquez has "got the feeling"
