Comments Thread For: Brandon Rios-Mike Alvarado III: Pre-Fight Report Card

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Cliff Rold - Without each other, they would still have had memorable careers. Both men make good fights. Those don’t go unnoticed.

Together, they are something more.

Brandon Rios and Mike Alvarado don’t appear to be future Hall of Fame types at this juncture. A lot would have to change for that to be the case. On the eve of their third, and presumably final, showdown, they may be on the verge of one of those gritty rivalries that deserves it’s own wing.

No titles are on the line. Neither man enters with much momentum. Alvarado has lost two straight, to Ruslan Provodnikov and Juan Manuel Marquez, after splitting the first two in the series with Rios. Rios took a lopsided loss to Manny Pacquiao before getting back to winning in an ugly DQ brawl with Diego Chaves.

This is for pride.

This is for resolution.

This is, for the winner, about a future.

I give rios better defense than alvarado cause he tucks his chin and rolls better with punches and bends his knees better and he is the better counter puncher imol he can duck and throw the counters at the same time. Alvarado probably was the better athlete but now rios looks better and will probably be the bigger of the two

I think Rios is gonna show a new Rios tonight, He is quick on his feet if you see his sparring video where he plays around he hella quick and can cut the ring on very good, I think he gonna have something for everything Alvardo gonna try. Rios always been the better fighter out the two but the 2nd bout Rios was feeling high on his hype predicting he was gonna KO Mike in 2 rounds and thought he actually had one hit power after that jab buckeled mike.

Watching Rios take so many clean shots makes my brain hurt.

Another freakin' Arum mismatch. How did Arum manage to sell this fight to HBO
When he knew damn well that Avorado is not only out of focus and now using street drugs. He knew this wasn't the old 'Mile High' but the messed up .'Mile High' mike. What boxers won't do for money.
