Comments Thread For: Arum: Alvarado Trained In Ring, Not Bars, For Marquez

IMO this is about the strategy Mke uses...IMO JMM has slipped in his past 2 bouts & he was 4 rounds behind when he delivered the ko 2 Pac...

the same people who wanted to boycott floyd-maidana will be perfectly ok with pacquiao-alvarado..disgusting.

lying a$$, that fight was razor close, round for round, pacquiao hasnt won 4 clear rounds vs marquez in four total fights.

If Alvarado's mind and body is over the Provodnikov assault, he can ruin JMM.

It's gonna take more than 7 months to shake off that beating, but Mike is a crazy dude...gets roughed up, cut up, swollen up, and is ready to sign for a new fight before he even heals up. I think JMM will look his age in this fight.

They gotta' sooth the pain somehow...

He isnt signed to top rank? I seriously did not know this. He should fight matthysse like right now or try to get maidana.

He ducked Rios what makes you think he would fight Maidana, Mathysse, Maidana, Thurman...etc when he knows Marques is smaller 41 year old over the hill, he is in no hurry to face this guys thats for sure.

I will absolutely not be ok with that fight or even a 5th with Marquez. I also wasn't as low on Maidana as everybody else and believed he deserved a shot.

Why is it a 12 round bout? Is the 143lbs limit a NEW weight class!
Both of these men would benefit from this bout being 10 rounds. They have had a lot of hard work in their last bouts and stretching them to 12 serves no purpose. The 12 rounder's are for titled bouts is this another "inter-continental-by the sea-over the land" Championship bout???

I hope they fare well because both of these men are at their end of being able to absorb punishment! It is amazing how promoters, managers and trainers don't see when their fighters are at the point of needing "damage control"!
Marquez was getting rocked in the Pac win, he looked unsteady at times with Tim. Mike is a warrior and those guys simply don't last because they get hit with bombs throughout their careers!

Regardless of the out come I hope both call it a day! Ray.

What people fail to realize is listen to whats being said, he is training in the ring and not in bars..WTF ? Quick note, several years ago there was going to be a fight between shane mosley and zab judah(judah put his arm through a window and the fight got scrapped with less than a couple of weeks out), i remember at the press conf zab was stating how he has rededicated himself and he is 100% focused etc.. and when Mosley took to the podium he said that is fine and dandy, but i've been living a clean life since i started, i dont party, i train everyday, i have been 100% dedicated - so my point is, JMM has been a proffessional since day 1, Alverado has cut his career short by lack of discipline, and JMM is going to beat him. This lack of focus and discipline is what snatches the championship rounds, what helps you weather the storm it gives you the confidence to press the action, speed up the tempo etc.. i guess mile high mike did not get tje memo

I guess the steroids didn't hurt Mosley though eh?
