Is There a Chance Mike Alvarado beats JMM

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Why do people keep on saying Alvarado should stick and move? Alvarado will be like 10-15 pounds heavier than JMM. He needs to pressure him and fight a close inside fight like Katsidis did, who gave JMM hell. Also the same way Alvarado beat Herrera.

Bradley barely beat JMM by outboxing him, and Alvarado is no where near the boxer Bradley is.

I understand your point, and its very valid, but i think if alvarado tries to use his size and bully jmm, it will allow jmm the openings to counter, and thats the only thing jmm has going for him is the ability to counter...
Jmm always struggles with guys that keep distance like john, norwood, floyd, bradley,,,, put jmm in with come forward guys and jmm chews them up

the fade in Alvarado was more evident than JMM


JMM didn't look too bad vs Bradley whereas Alvarado didn't even look himself vs Provodnikov...he just got his ass kicked straight up


who's to say the guy has much left? i wouldn't be surprised if that whiny piss drinker makes this an easy fight

u gotta look at the choices of opponents tho.. marquez was facing freaking bradley who is not know to be a power puncher. mike was thrown in with the russian tiger. mike lost that fight purely on ruslan being too strong for him to handle, it has nothing to do with how poorly mike performed, etc. to me i think both of them are shot LOL.

that's exactly my point...leading up this fight, Alvarado has taken a beating in his last 3 fights whereas JMM didn't really take any punishment in his last...it's given him more time to heal from the last war he's been in


should be a good scrap if both men still have something left...is this on ppv?


if it is, i might as well drive to the Forum and watch it in person

Boxers always look bad against other boxers. The superior boxer should win regardless, which JMM would be by miles.

yea alvarado might be bigger and younger but the difference in class is huge, jmm is an atg
do you really think alvarado can ever even be a title holder?

He has the height, reach, decent pop, and he is a boxer not a slugger. Juan will have a hard time pinning him down.

And Alvarado can box but he's not very good at it. He's far better brawling. He ouboxed Rios but come on. Rios makes Mayorga look like Rigondeaux.
