Bam Bam Rios vs Juan M Marquez....

[joseph5620]

To be honest with you I think it was a combination of Alvarado being mediocre/shot and Rios finally fighting at his natural weight. He looked faster, stringing together beautiful combinations up stairs and down and his motor was on overdrive during the entire 3 rounds. He's always been able to block and slip a few punches here and there so I wouldn't say he's morphing into a boxer puncher/defensive - tactician at all, but I do believe his new weight class brought him some extra breathing room and the speed to unload flashier combinations.

It could be all that or just the fact that Alvarado was completely out of it One more fight at 147 and we will see what's really going on with Rios.

Rios has to fight a legitimate top fighter at 147 to truly gauge where he is in the division. That fight last night doesn't mean anything at all.

If Marquez is healthy he will give Rios a beating. Two different class of fighters.

Oh and if Marquez is anything like the version that beat Alvarado, Rios gets picked apart. I think he's done though.

I agree that version beats Rios up. Unfortunately at Marquez age it's hard to recover from a bad knee. That's what happened Sergio Martinez.

That's the fight that Marquez ran away from and now is haunting him. Get it on, then I will give Marquez his props as a HOFer if he wins.

What?!?!?!? Marquez has to beat Rios to be a HOFer???!?!?!?! Are you being serious right now? Come on man lol Dont let the hype fool you. I cant believe what I just read. WTF lol
